Our Journey

  • event

    The original firm was incorporated on April 1, 1977. The founders attended law school together, each attorney specializing in a different area of law.

  • event

    In the beginning, we started the creditor's rights practice with a footprint covering four counties in Southeast Wisconsin, collecting on medical bills and utilities.

    Taking on national clients triggered the expansion of the practice, and the firm's footprint expanded by opening 24 new branches in 16 years.

    Today, Rausch Sturm LLP represents many of the leading credit issuers, major auto lenders, and publicly traded debt buyers, and has expanded our footprint across the US.

"I have worked for Rausch Sturm, LLP going on 6 years. Since the start of my career here the company has been very supportive of my growth and development as a Collection Manager. The firm has invested valuable time and resources in my development, for example all of the Collection Managers completed a manager workshop over a series of several weeks where we worked with Dr. Karen and her management program. This self-development is continuous here at the firm. For the last 2+ years the managers have met frequently as part of a ‘Book Club ’ where we get choose a book for leadership and management development and actively participate in discussions on how we can be better leaders in our respective teams. We also take the time to get together for team building activities outside of the office such as laser tag and axe throwing!
Overall, Rausch Sturm LLP values the development of their core management and it’s amazing to be a part of a leadership group that is actively engaged in my success and wellbeing! I truly enjoy being a part of this team and look forward to what’s ahead!"
