Collection Law firm Rausch, Sturm, Israel, Enerson & Hornik, LLC (RSIEH) announced this week that two of its attorneys have been named a Wisconsin Super Lawyer and one of its attorneys has been named a Wisconsin Rising Star by Super Lawyers magazine.

Only 2.5 percent of the total lawyers in Wisconsin are listed as a Rising Star and only 5 percent of the total lawyers in Wisconsin are listed as a Super Lawyer.

Sturm and Israel were the only Super Lawyers in the “Bankruptcy & Creditor/Debtor Rights” category to practice at a retail collection firm.
