Education
Consumer protection experience
Mr. Madera has spent his career on the consumer side of financial disputes, where the record a lender or reporting agency keeps often carries more weight in a person's life than anything that person can say about it. Credit reporting sits at the center of that imbalance. A single misapplied account, a re-aged delinquency date, or a balance that survived a bankruptcy discharge can decide whether a family finances a home, replaces a vehicle, or pays several thousand dollars more over the life of a loan than a neighbor with an identical payment history.
As General Counsel, he is the attorney responsible for the content of this website and for the direction of the matters this office accepts. He reviews intake, sets the strategy for individual credit files, approves correspondence that requires an attorney signature, and decides when a matter should move from administrative dispute to a formal demand or litigation. Paralegals and staff support that work; they do not substitute for it.
Credit reporting and FCRA experience
His work concentrates on the parts of the reporting process where federal law creates leverage: the reasonable procedures a consumer reporting agency must follow to assure maximum possible accuracy, the reinvestigation duty triggered by a properly framed dispute, the furnisher's independent obligation to investigate what the agency forwards, and the remedies available when those duties are ignored after notice.
That focus shapes how files are opened here. Each item is documented before it is disputed, each statutory deadline is tracked, and each inadequate response is escalated rather than resubmitted. Accurate, current, and verifiable information stays on a credit report; what can be corrected is inaccuracy, and the realistic range of outcomes is explained before a client decides whether to proceed. No result is guaranteed.
