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.

  23. Civil Deficiency Memo mailed re: TO: GABRIEL WILLIAM DONNELLY BROOKE V BERENS The following documents are being returned to you. Letter received 12/20/2024 ACTION NEEDED TO CORRECT FILING You have recently submitted documents related to the above case. These documents are either incomplete or do not follow correct procedures. Please do the following: Enclosed is the Letter dated November 19, 2024 that we received in the above referenced case. We are unable to accept ex-parte letters to the court or Judge. If you have questions regarding your case, please feel free to call the Palmer Courthouse. You have an attorney representing you, so the attorney must file all documents in your case, unless the court allows the attorney to withdraw based on your motion or your attorney's motion. Any documents that you file before the court grants the motion to withdraw will be lodged. This means that they will not go to the judge for a decision. Civil Rule 81. You did not serve the other side. You must give the other side in the case copies of every document you file in court. This is called service. Fill out the certificate of service section at the end of the form or file a separate certificate of service form that includes: the documents served, who you served, when you did service, and how you provided copies to the other side in the case. You can use Certificate of Service (form TF-700), available at ak-courts.info/tf700. Serve by first-class mail or hand-delivery unless otherwise ordered by the court. Or, if the other side agreed to service by fax or email by checking that option in any filing (or by filing a separate notice of consent), then you can serve by that method instead. Civil Rules 5(f) and 5.1(c)(3). Civil Deficiency Memo (11/23) Sent on: 12/23/2024 09:49:53.68
