RICHTER GEOLOGY PLLC was established as a single member (i.e., one Owner) Professional Limited Liability Company in New Hampshire in 2018 by Dorothy Richter, CPG, P.G., after she sold her nationally recognized geophysical testing firm after 34 years at its helm to long-time employees in a cordial internal ownership transition. Dorothy is the sole Owner and President of RICHTER GEOLOGY PLLC.
Dorothy vividly remembers starting her former firm on the kitchen table in 1984 and nurturing its growth to two offices with a nationwide service area for geophysical testing services. She fondly recalls being pleasantly surprised by many of the referrals from professional colleagues for project work in the early years of the firm.
Dorothy is excited to be back at the kitchen table again in a geological & geophysical consulting practice in collaboration with Gene Simmons, Ph.D., P.G., with a shift in focus from field testing to expert review, technical oversight, and litigation support. Please surprise us again, and send us some interesting projects!
