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.

TO REDUCE HEALTH RISKS, THE POSTAL SERVICE MODIFIED CUSTOMER SIGNATURE CAPTURE PROCEDURES. WHILE THE COURT APPRECIATES THE NEED FOR SAFETY DURING THE CURRENT COVID 19 PANDEMIC, THE COURT HAS CONCERNS ON HOW THIS CHANGE IN POLICY WILL IMPACT PROPER SERVICE UNDER THE OHIO RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE. THE CIVIL RULES PRESCRIBE THE PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED BY ALL COURTS IN THE STATE OF OHIO. THEY ARE TO BE CONSTRUED AND APPLIED TO EFFECT JUST RESULTS AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. IN PARTICULAR, SERVICE RULES EXIST TO SAFEGUARD DUE PROCESS. THEY ENSURE NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD. THEY CANNOT BE CIRCUMVENTED OR SUSPENDED. IN LIGHT OF THE ABOVE, THE COURT IMPLEMENTS THE FOLLOWING POLICY WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THE COURT FINDS THE FOLLOWING METHODS OF SERVICE ARE ACCEPTABLE AND PARTIES WISHING TO PERFECT SERVICE MAY DO SO UNDER THE APPLICABLE CIVIL RULE: 1. PUBLICATION 2. SPECIAL PROCESS SERVER (PREAPPROVED BY JUDGE RUSSO, SEE STANDING ORDER #13) 3. FEDERAL EXPRESS (COMPLETED) 4. FEDERAL EXPRESS (REFUSED THEN REGULAR MAIL) 5. SHERIFF SERVICE 6. SECRETARY OF STATE SERVICE 7. A PARTY WAIVES SERVICE 8. COUNSEL WAIVES SERVICE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE CERTIFIED MAIL IS NO LONGER AN ACCEPTABLE MEANS OF SERVICE UNLESS THE CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN CONTAINS A CLEAR, LEGIBLE SIGNATURE, AS DETERMINED BY THE COURT. IN INSTANCES WHERE THE COURT CANNOT DISCERN A CLEAR, LEGIBLE SIGNATURE OR IF THE CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN IS "SCRIBBLED" OR MARKED "COVID 19" OR IS "STAMPED WITH A SIGNATURE" OR CONTAINS A "PRINTED FIRST INITIAL AND PRINTED LAST NAME," THE COURT WILL INDICATE THAT THIS IS NOT GOOD SERVICE AND PLAINTIFF MUST RE-ATTEMPT SERVICE OR FACE DISMISSAL FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE. 22. PARTIES ARE TO ABIDE BY THE COURT'S STANDING ORDERS CONTAINED HEREIN AND LOCATED AT HTTP://CPCUYAHOGACOUNTY.US/JUDGES/NANCYMARGARETRUSSO.
