About Macaluso & Fafinski
Macaluso & Fafinski works from Fordham Plaza in the Bronx and names four attorneys on its own bios: Joseph G. Macaluso, Donna Fafinski, Ernest N. Reece and Paul J. Campson. Twenty years by its domain registration.
229 reviews at 4.9. Fifteen case results with amounts of its own, three bar association memberships published on those bios, and pages in Spanish. Its largest contentful paint on mobile is 9.6 seconds, which is what pillar D measures.
What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
LFL Certified 2026
Scored 71 out of 100 on measured evidence, above the 70 this tier requires, with every eligibility gate its state allows us to check cleared.
No public discipline
None of the 4 named attorneys carries a disciplinary status on the public register: no disbarment, suspension or disciplinary resignation. Those statuses persist, so the check reaches back years, but it would not show a censure or a suspension since lifted.
4.9 average over 229 reviews
A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.
Service in Spanish
Published by the firm on its own pages, which is how this was measured rather than assumed from a name.
15 results published
Across 10 case types on the firm's own site. We read the page and counted what is on it; the amounts are the firm's and we have not confirmed them.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Macaluso & Fafinski charge?
Macaluso & Fafinski publishes no fee terms on the pages we read, so none is recorded on this profile. An absence here is not a claim that the firm has no fee arrangement, only that it does not state one publicly. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee. The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.
Does Macaluso & Fafinski offer a free consultation?
Yes. Macaluso & Fafinski publishes a free initial consultation. The intake line is published as open around the clock and it publishes material in Spanish.
Where does Macaluso & Fafinski have offices?
Macaluso & Fafinski publishes one office, in Bronx. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at Macaluso & Fafinski?
Macaluso & Fafinski names four attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. 4 of 4 named attorneys are currently registered and none carries an adverse status.
Are the case results Macaluso & Fafinski publishes verified?
No. Macaluso & Fafinski publishes 15 case results with amounts on its own site. We counted them and we did not confirm them: the figures are the firm's. Pillar B scores whether a firm publishes outcomes and discloses them properly, including whether a prior-results disclaimer appears beside them, not whether the amounts are right. Past results do not predict another case.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about Macaluso & Fafinski?
Macaluso & Fafinski scores 68 and sits at Verified. Passed: licensure, discipline, entity registration, website and footprint. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.
