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.

Attorney Jessica Babine appeared on behalf of the plaintiff and defendant James McGowan appeared pro se. Defendant Tammy McGowan failed to appear. Court is in receipt of the Verified Complaint and Motion for Memorandum of Lis Pendens. Court noted that Tammy and James McGowan had not filed appearances in this case, with Mr. McGowan advising that he and his wife intend to reach an agreement with plaintiff to revive the erroneously discharged mortgage. Court encouraged Mr. McGowan to retain counsel and advised as to what being a pro se party entails, including that the same rules of evidence and procedure apply to both represented and pro se litigants, and that the court cannot provide any legal assistance or advice. Attorney Babine advised that a proposed agreement for judgement was sent to the defendants, and she is awaiting their signatures and return to her for filing. In light of the defendants' delay in finalizing a resolution with the plaintiff and finding that the action constitutes a claim of a right to title, use, or occupation of real property or the buildings thereon, pursuant to G.L. c. 184, 15, the court ALLOWED the Motion for Memorandum for Lis Pendens. Attorney Babine agreed to hold and refrain from recording the court's endorsement of the memorandum of lis pendens until November 20, 2024, to afford defendants an opportunity to sign and return the agreement for judgment.
