RIGHI HERNANDEZ OPENS ITS DOORS FOR BUSINESS ON OCTOBER 1, 2009
Righi Hernandez, an innovative and diverse law firm, opened its office on October 1, 2009. The founding partners, Beth Fitch, Rosary Hernandez and Rick Righi, are excited to be embarking on this new venture and are proud of the team that they have assembled. Recognizing that their clients operate in a global economy and a rapidly changing business environment, they have merged their practices together to better serve all of their clients.
"Everyone keeps asking why and why now? The reason is simple. We can better serve our clients. Although we enjoyed many years of practice at our respective firms, we recognized the remarkable value we can create for our clients by combining the talents of experienced lawyers of different backgrounds," says Beth Fitch. Rosary Hernandez is a first generation Cuban and the first one in her family to obtain a college degree. Ms. Hernandez has spent the past ten years representing national homebuilders in construction defect litigation. Her tenacity and hard work have served her clients well. Rosary puts it well when she says, "Client satisfaction is paramount to me. I care about my clients and treat them as friends. This means involving them in critical decisions and seeking innovative solutions that serve their goals."
Rick Righi and Beth Fitch share those same ideals. Rick grew up in a Midwestern family where independence and healthy competition were encouraged. Beth Fitch comes from a long line of entrepreneurs. Mrs. Fitch learned the basics of running a successful business working for her father's companies. According to Rick Righi, "We regularly found ourselves at the same legal, insurance, and construction related events as Rosary. We quickly realized that we have the same values and that our practices would complement each other." This decision was not made lightly. The partners have spent months carefully considering this merger and carefully planning so that the transition would be smooth.
As a boutique law firm focused on construction and insurance defense, the firm will continue to provide the same quality of service that we have individually provided. The size of our new firm will allow us to be both responsive and cost effective. Righi Hernandez is based on four foundational principles: innovate, involve, simplify and resolve, with the ultimate end goal being to serve their clients.
