Your case is unique, but you are not alone.

About 41,000 new cases are filed in U.S. courts every weekday. Behind each one is a person trying to understand what happens next. Here’s what the public record can tell you about this matter — and about the people deciding it.

  • Know your judge

    Every judge has a pattern — what they grant, what they deny, how they handle the kinds of motions your case will see.

  • Know your attorney

    See an attorney’s actual track record — case types, courts, and how they’ve performed in front of this judge before.

  • Know your court

    Every courthouse has its own rhythm — filing-to-resolution times, common dispositions, how often cases like yours settle.

Is this judge more likely to rule for the plaintiff or the defendant in cases of this type?

How has your attorney actually performed in front of this judge?

AICasePredict surfaces patterns from public court records. We don’t predict outcomes and we don’t recommend changing your attorney — that’s a conversation for you and them. We just show you what the record already says.

  13. Alternative Dispute Resolution: Early Intervention Event held. Judge: Vhay, Hon. Michael D.
  14. Telephonic case management conference and initial intervention event held. Plaintiff Vivek Pai appeared through counsel. No other parties appeared. Ms. Pai, who currently occupies 2 Hartshorn Road in Walpole, seeks to have her title to the property confirmed notwithstanding problems with the power of attorney for grantor Florence M. Hale. The defendants are the known heirs of Ms. Hale. The Court DIRECTS the Recorder to enter the defaults of defendants Sally Hale Reinert, Susan Hale Armour, and William Hale III in this proceeding, as it appears that Ms. Pai served each of them more than twenty days ago and none of them has appeared or filed a responsive pleading. That leaves only defendant Maureen Hale, for whom Pai has not received a return of service. The Court ORDERS Ms. Pai to file by June 5, 2023, either a return of service on Maureen Hale or a status report on Pai's efforts to obtain such service. SO ORDERED. Judge: Vhay, Hon. Michael D.
