Which Lawyers Win Before Your Judge?

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 The Lawyers

    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?

  20. Civil Deficiency Memo mailed re: Justin Padgett The following documents are being returned to you: 04/25/25 Preemptory Challenge and 05/07/25 Motion for Clerk to Record Preemptory Challenge Pursuant to Civil Rule 81(c)(2), a party who is represented by an attorney may not file documents on their own behalf. Although, Mr. Hoffer filed a motion to withdrawal as your attorney, he is still considered your attorney of record until the court grants the motion. Pursuant to Civil Rule 81(e)(1)(C), you may file a request for a hearing on Mr. Hoffer's motion to withdrawal within 10 days from the date it was served on you. Pursuant to Civil Rule 5, you must serve Mr. Hoffer and the plaintiff's attorney with your request. Pursuant to Civil Rule 42(c)(3), when a party has been served or enters an action after a case has been assigned to a specific judge, a notice of change of judge must be filed within 5 days after the party appears or files a pleading in the action. Mr. Hoffer entered the case as your counsel of record and filed an answer on 02/13/25, making the deadline to change the judge as a matter of right 02/20/25. Ultimately, your 04/25/25 Preemptory Challenge is untimely and is rejected for filing. If you wish to file pleadings with the court, you must wait until the court grants Mr. Hoffer's motion to withdrawal. However, attempting to refile your 04/25/25 Preemptory Challenge and 05/07/25 Motion for Clerk to Record 'Preemptory Challenge,' may result in rejection for filing for the reason stated above. Justin Padgett (Defendant);
  21. Civil Deficiency Memo mailed re: Thomas P. Amodio The following documents are being returned to you: 05/05/25 Opposition to Defendants' Preemptory Challenge Pursuant to the Civil Deficiency Memo to Justin Padgett sent on 05/13/25, his 04/25/25 Preemptory Challenge and 05/07/25 Motion for Clerk to Record 'Preemptory Challenge' was rejected for filing. Therefore, there is nothing to oppose and your opposition is being returned to you. Thomas Amodio (Attorney) on behalf of Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (Plaintiff)
  22. Civil Deficiency Memo mailed re: S. Thomas Peavy Hoffer The court is in receipt of your 05/06/25 Golden Heart Law, LLC's Motion to Withdraw. This pleading does not follow correct procedures. It is not being returned to you at this time. Please do the following to correct your pleading: Your certificate of service does not indicate service on the party that you are requesting to withdraw as counsel for. Pursuant to Civil Rule 81(e)(C)(i), a motion to withdraw without the party's consent must be served on the party. Please file an amended certificate of service with the court. Stefan Thomas Hoffer (Attorney) on behalf of Jp Morgan Enterprises Llc (Defendant)

Thus, there is no motion or opposition to reply to and your 05/13/25 Reply to Opposition to Defendants' Preemportory Challenge is rejected for filing. Pursuant to Civil Rule 81(c)(2), a party who is represented by an attorney may not file documents on their own behalf. Although, Mr. Hoffer filed a motion to withdrawal as your attorney, he is still considered your attorney of record until the court grants the motion. Pursuant to Civil Rule 81(e)(1)(C), you may file a request for a hearing on Mr. Hoffer's motion to withdrawal within 10 days from the date it was served on you. Pursuant to Civil Rule 5, you must serve Mr. Hoffer and the plaintiff's attorney with your request. If you wish to file pleadings with the court, you must wait until the court grants Mr. Hoffer's motion to withdrawal. Pursuant to AS 22.20.040, a corporation, either public or private, shall appear by an attorney in all cases unless an exception to the corporation's appearance by an attorney has been explicitly made by law.
