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?

  15. lternative Dispute Resolution: Early Intervention Event held. Judge: Vhay, Hon. Michael D.
  16. elephonic case management conference and initial intervention event held. The parties appeared through counsel. This case concerns a dispute over whether defendant Fiaschetti's wooden stockade fence is impermissibly encroaching on plaintiff Perry's property, or whether Fiaschetti has acquired that part of Perry's property by adverse possession. The fence runs roughly parallel to the parties' record common boundary line. The parties' homes are side-by-side on East Water Street in Rockland, MA. Plaintiff Perry claims that Ms. Fiaschetti's fence encroaches up to two feet on Mr. Perry's side of the boundary line over a distance of approximately 32 feet. Mr. Perry also claims that Ms. Fiaschetti encroaches on his property with a wooden buttress supporting the fence and by the attachment of a clothesline to a tree on Mr. Perry's property. Mr. Perry seeks removal of these encroachments. Ms. Fiaschetti counterclaims for adverse possession and for trespass, but Mr. Perry disclaimed any interest in Fiaschetti's property and questions whether he placed any of the encroachments Fiaschetti perceives on her property. After hearing from the parties, the Court ORDERS Mr. Perry to determine and report to the Court by November 10, 2023 whether he has title insurance and whether he has a mortgage on his property. The Court further ORDERS the parties to report by November 10, 2023, whether they'd like a stay of this case to pursue mediation. SO ORDERED. Judge: Vhay, Hon. Michael D.
