Dario Macaraeg
Partner, debt collection defense and robocalls
Dario defends people sued by debt buyers and sues collectors and companies that break the calling rules.
Dario grew up in Moreno Valley and spent his first years as a lawyer in a legal aid office, answering collection lawsuits on the courthouse steps. He joined Noriko to take on more of the cases that need a full defense, and the ones where the collector should be the one paying.

Why Dario answers every lawsuit
Most debt lawsuits end in a default judgment because no one answers them. An answer forces the debt buyer to show the original agreement, the account history and proof that it owns the debt, and many can't.
If you've been served, bring the papers and the date you got them. That date sets the deadline.
