I can not believe you people! I can not believe this website! Defaming someone’s character is not legal. I see no creditable evidence of mismanagement. This is a collection agency people! All companies in the collections arena can understand the realities and difficulties of managing one. A company can’t collect their own client’s money for their services and so ask for help and then slander them? I see a problem with that. Has it ever occurred to you that these people also have families, possibly children, and spewing names on the internet is harmful, destructive, and utterly dangerous?
I researched as well and found those names to not be correct (why would you write someone’s wife’s name, anyway? I can't find anything on the wife because she has no involvement obviously so why even mention that... does not make sense. However, I would be irate if someone tried to defame my spouse!) I don’t live in Texas but know that the company I work for receives most mail at a separate office suite to handle the high yield of mail/packages/etc.. So Google Earth steered you in the wrong direction there.
I think people need to get a life, realize the reality of collection agencies (not every company will collect, people will assume they have money when in fact it was never collected, and debtors can easily say they paid when in fact they did not) and stop defaming people on the internet.
Source: I worked at a collection agency and saw how difficult it is to a) collect money from companies that wont pay the original company in the first place, b) the burden of telling clients that the debtor is promising checks and we are waiting for them too (it's frustrating because i want my client to get paid too!), c) being the middle man between two parties that can’t negotiate on their own.

Oh, by the way, what are your names? Let’s all do a search on your name and your family and see what we come up with!

I have just been contacted by the party that I thought I was paying thru Rothman and Wise stating that I have not paid my account. After reading about the company in the posts above - I paid them and they did not forward my payment to the company that I was paying. I have put a phone call into the sargent listed above to speak to him. The personal that we spoke to from their office was Joe Kelly and the payments were mailed to 1029 Highway 6 North Suite 250-286 Houston, TX phone number [protected] x 409 and [protected] x 409 any other info on this? It seem that the other posts are from those who were supposed to receive funds. I am someone who sent the funds and now the company wants me to pay again.

I am glad to see that one person did collect some of the money they were owed. They must have carried some weight because we never got a dime. I have left dozens and dozens of messages and have never been called back. Unfortunately for honest companies, I am not sure who to trust so we have been doing collections on our own. I am sure there are some out there who would do the job honestly. I hope that these guys at R&W get their due.

Very Interesting... Some people are just Worthless.

No problem. Ive been doing some homework on these guys and have uncovered even more information. Apparently they have posted some articles claiming to have opened up offices in other cities and have "divisions", well I called in a favor and had someone local to them confirm that they only have 1 office, the one in Houston. The address they list at 1029 highway 6 is actually a UPS store. After discovering this we were able to find out that they actually are across the street from this UPS store in an office complex called Addicks Ten Business Park. I'm told its a small strip center type office next to a hotel called drurry inn. Hopefully someone local there can show up and hold them accountable for their fraudulent activity. I dont have a suite number yet but that should be coming soon. Stay tuned. Oh, also we google Frank Fruia, the guy claiming to be "jim wise", apparently hes a local race car driver. I wonder how much of our money has gone to financing his little racing hobby. Look him up and you can see where he races at. His number is 3x and its dwarf like cars.

Wow... they are very Deceptive. Thanks for the info Karmaaa. I have been searching info on them and it appears that they have smeared information on themselves all over the internet trying to cover up something. Now I think I know what! Good Head's up!

For the record, Leonard Rothman is not his real name, its an alias he uses. First it was Dave Chase when he was scamming people under the company name Chasemax and then changed it to Leonard Rothman when opening Rothman and Wise. His real name is Max Williams and the company is owned by his wife Margaret Williams. The other owner that goes by Jim Wise is actually Frank Fruia

Mr. Russo was indeed a man of his word. The check showed up as he said it would, it cleared my acount today so all is forgiven and I am happy as a clam. He did a great job taking care of this for me. Thank you Mr. Russo.

This morning, I got another follow up call from Al Russo. He informed me that he had mailed out my check today and even went as far as to forward me a tracking number. I am reserving judgement till I get it and it clears my account but so far, Mr. Russo has actually been the only one at Rothman and Wise that has kept his word. We will see what happens early next week.
