Fleischer, Ethan J.

Elizabeth S. Fitch is a founding member of the Righi Law Group.  She is a trial lawyer with 20 years of civil defense experience and has the AV Preeminent rating.  Beth has defended numerous multimillion dollar cases ranging from catastrophic injuries to construction defect cases.  She has represented all types of professionals from lawyers to architects.  Because of her defense of insureds under general liability insurance policies, Beth has successfully handled the entire gamut of complex tort cases ranging from construction mishaps to defamation to sexual harassment.  She has been featured twice in Attorney At Law and is currently coauthoring the Construction Defect chapter of the Arizona State Bar Tort Handbook.

Her practice has concentrated on representing businesses and individuals in complex civil litigation matters.  The nature of complex litigation not only requires experience and knowledge about the substantive law but also requires sophistication in addressing the interrelated contractual and complex insurance issues.  She has developed expertise in risk management and assists clients with risk transfer strategies such pursuing indemnity and primary, excess, and additional insurance coverage for clients.  Notably, she was instrumental in obtaining a $2,000,000 settlement from an insurance company at virtually no upfront cost for one of the firm's construction clients.

Beth focuses her time working with clients and strategic planning for the complex cases.  Recognizing that clients are best served by quick resolution of cases, at the outset of every case she looks for innovative solutions that bring about the client's desired result in an economical and expedient manner.

Beth is a third generation Arizonan and comes from a long line of entrepreneurs.  Her great grandmother founded successful wholesale and retail businesses.  Her dad followed in this tradition and started a successful retail business and cattle ranch, both of which are still in operation today.  As a result she understands the business needs of clients and applies entrepreneurial principles to her law practice.

After graduating from Prescott High School, Beth attended Arizona State University where she received her Bachelors of Science degree in accounting in 1982 and Juris Doctorate in 1985.  She began her legal career by arbitrating and trying personal injury cases throughout the state of Arizona.  This included representing clients from prelitigation ADR through appeal.
