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.

  52. On June 24, 2024, this Court ordered Defendants "by July 8, 2024, either to have new counsel appear for him or her, or to inform the Court that he or she intends to represent himself or herself in this action. If a party chooses the latter option, that party's notice must specify how he or she would like to receive notice and filings in accordance with Rule 5, Mass. R. Civ. P." Subsequent to that order, defendant Gabrielle Winant contacted the Sessions Clerk and informed her that Gabrielle would be representing herself, and that notice and service by e-mail was acceptable. No counsel has appeared, however, for defendant Thomas Winant, and Mr. Winant didn't file anything in response to the Court's June 24, 2024, order. The Court thus ORDERS Mr. Winant to file by September 11, 2024, a statement regarding how he wishes to receive notices and filings in this case. The Court ADVISES Mr. Winant that his failure to comply with this order could result in his being defaulted in this case. On August 19, 2024, the Court ordered Defendants to file by August 29, 2024, any opposition to Plaintiffs' motion for referral for a mediation screening and an extension of the discovery deadline. The Court sent that notice to Mr. Winant by e-mail that same day.

  61. The court has received plaintiffs' motion to stay and extend discovery. The court will hear the motion at the upcoming status conference. Any opposition to plaintiffs' motion should be filed by 4:00 p.m. on March 11, 2025. The status conference will remain on March 12, 2025 but is RESCHEDULED to begin at 11:00 a.m. Pro se defendants Thomas E. Winant and Gabrielle R. Winant are ORDERED to appear at the status conference. Failure to appear without good cause shall result in the entry of default. Email notice to: Attorney Michael Pill; Pro Se Defendant Thomas E.

Winant [email protected] Defendant: Gabrielle R. Winant [email protected]
  62. Event Resulted: Status Conference scheduled on: 03/12/2025 11:00 AM Has been: Held via video. Attorney Michael Pill appeared for plaintiffs, and Gabrielle R. Winant appeared pro se. No appearance was made by or on behalf of defendant Thomas E. Winant. This case is a partition action between parties with a very contentious history. Attorney Pill has requested a stay in this action pending further proceedings in defendants' divorce case in the Franklin Probate and Family Court, Docket No. FR24D0137DR. Attorney Pill believes the divorce case may determine Ms. Winant's sole rights to the defendants' interest in the property, which may facilitate mediation or settlement between the parties. Plaintiffs are sympathetic to Ms. Winant's situation and would be open to an agreement that would allow her to remain in the property. Attorney Pill also reported that he hired a private investigator to review the allegations made by both parties in this case and that Mr. Gentile is incarcerated. Ms. Winant explained that she is single mother and full-time student. She currently lives in the property with her two children, although the property is in bad shape. No orders have been entered by the Probate and Family Court regarding the property. Ms. Winant has an active restraining order against Mr. Winant. The next hearing in the divorce proceeding is on March 25, 2025 and Ms. Winant estimates the divorce proceeding will take another six to twelve months because of the potential transition from supervised to unsupervised parenting time for Mr. Winant. The court questioned whether the Franklin Probate and Family Court would proceed with marital asset determination on the property before the Land Court had resolved the defendants' counterclaim challenging the deed's validity. Attorney Pill stated he believed they could make such a determination without regard for whether the Winants' interest was 50% or 100%. Despite some uncertainty, both parties agreed that a stay would be beneficial here. After consideration, the court STAYED the case until further order of the court. To monitor the status of the related divorce proceedings, the court ORDERED plaintiffs' counsel to submit a status report by May 30, 2025, after consulting with Ms. Winant. Finally, at the request of plaintiffs and in light of Mr. Winant's failure to attend today's status conference, the court DIRECTED the Recorder to enter the default of defendant Thomas E. Winant in this action. Email notice to: Attorney Michael Pill and Pro Se Defendant Gabrielle R. Winant. Hon. Lauren E. Reznick, Presiding
