Biography

The Hon. Tracy A. Catapano-Fox is a judge for the Civil Court of the City of New York in Queens County. She was elected to the bench in 2017.

She is a registered Democrat.

Judge Catapano-Fox received her J.D. from Boston College Law School in 1997.

She began her legal career as an assistant district attorney with the Queens County District Attorney’s Office after graduating from law school in 1997 and remained with the D.A.’s office for three years.

In 2000, Catapano-Fox entered private practice, becoming a senior associate at Ross, Suchoff, Hankin, Maidenbaum, Handwerker, and Mazel, P.C.

Two years later, she joined the New York State Unified Court System, where she worked as a principal law clerk in the Queens County Supreme Court. In 2010, Catapano-Fox began serving as a Chief Clerk with the Queens County Supreme Court, Civil Term, where she assisted the administrative judge in managing the day-to-day operations of the court.

She left the Court System to briefly serve as the executive director of the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board, but quickly returned to the Court System the following year, where she served as a referee until her election to the Civil Court in 2017.

Catapano-Fox, who is considered an expert in the field of residential foreclosures, was also instrumental in helping to establish New York’s first residential foreclosure settlement conference. For her work in that area, she received the New York State Unified Court System’s Merit Performance Award in 2013.
