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.

This is an action seeking a declaration that the 126 Jackson Street 1995 Realty Trust was void ab initio and that the property purportedly conveyed to the Trust was actually conveyed to Stephen L. Finberg, individually. The plaintiff in this action has been found to be the only heir of Stephen L. Finberg, but the parties cannot be certain whether the plaintiff is the only beneficiary.

The plaintiff will file a motion for service by publication at their convenience. Following service by publication, the plaintiff will file the appropriate dispositive motion. The court did not schedule a status conference at this time, but will set a date for status conference if necessary after the filing of a dispositive motion. (Smith, J.).
