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.

  58. The email I received on 12/11 was about court conduct, not eliciting a response from the Cracchiolos. Any response from them could lead to Attorney DiCarlo drafting a 35-page filing, overly referencing "Mr. Bass" without legal precedents or support for the court's actions. I don't have the time or inclination to sift through another fictional narrative by the Cracchiolos' attorneys. Our responses, if any, should be akin to what a seasoned lawyer would write, not an 8th grader. They should include legal references about issues like bifurcated settlement terms absent in rulings, maintaining a Lis Pendens after dismissal of related claims, or breach of contract allegations during pending court motions. I am exasperated by arguments that essentially say, "Mr. Bass is an a**hole, so legal norms can be disregarded." I am tired of such baseless arguments being accepted. In my 18 months of studying law, I've learned to craft legitimate legal arguments. I expect the same from BAR members. However, Attorneys Heney and DiCarlo's use of past communications for allegations in 2020-21 goes against this principle. Law school teaches the application of law based on principles and precedents, not creating a narrative from email chains. This approach should be grounds for sanctions, not success. "Does Judge Foster realize that if the attorneys believe they can receive a favorable discretionary decision from him, it puts me at a significant disadvantage during any discussions about resolving the cases related to the house? The advantage is insurmountable, making it impossible for me to compete." -BB

Linehan, Esq. | Chief Legal Officer - Litigation Manager" 3.)"Attorney Linehan and Heney, You may all file your respective pleadings next week. Thank you. Charles P. Brennan " 4.) "Clerk Brennan, I oppose any further filings in this matter. Judge Foster's December 31 memorandum reflects a clear, well-reasoned understanding of both the record and the narrow issue remaining before the Court. No additional submissions are necessary to aid the Court's analysis. MassHousing has submitted its invoices with visible line items, notwithstanding redacted totals. Judge Foster expressly determined that the Cracchiolos' sole remaining involvement, if any, is limited to legal fees owed by the estate and payable only from excess funds. That conclusion requires no clarification, proposed edits, or supplemental briefing. The case is fully briefed and ripe for adjudication. Further filings would not inform the Court or alter Judge Foster's reasoning; they would merely delay final resolution. I respectfully request that Judge Foster issue his decision and that any legal fees be conclusively severed from the property. Best regards, Brad" 5.) "Clerk Brennan, Respectfully, this decision appears to have been made prior to my email opposing further filings. I would appreciate a reassessment of the matter with consideration for the position I have outlined. Best regards, Brad Bass "
