PHOENIX — Phoenix’s LGBT community honored attorney Beth Hutchens for her work with the city’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community.

Hutchens is of-counsel to Randazza Legal Group in the firm’s Phoenix office.

One Community, a group promoting partnerships between the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and businesses, sponsored the event, the second annual Spotlight on Success Local Heroes Awards. This year’s theme for the event was “The Year of the Woman, Celebrating our Past, Present and Future.”

“Beth has been a great asset to the Randazza Legal Group team, playing key positions in our Arizona intellectual property litigation and defamation defense practice,” said Marc Randazza, Randazza Legal Group managing attorney. “Her estate planning for gay and lesbian couples is also extremely successful, and is an area of law that very few attorneys understand, let alone do well. We are all very proud of her much-deserved recognition.”

Hutchens said: “To be recognized for my work in fighting to get that to happen, I’m flattered, I’m humbled, and I’m honored."

Hutchens was one of only 12 honorees receiving awards at the luncheon event, held on Oct.19 in Phoenix.
