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.

The Court ORDERS Mr. LeBlanc to serve Ms. DaCruz promptly with a summons, his complaint, his motion (and all supporting materials), and this order, and to file by 4:00 PM on May 15, 2023, a return of service. The Court ORDERS Mr. LeBlanc to file his return by e-mail sent to the Sessions Clerk. SO ORDERED. Judge: Vhay, Hon. Michael D.

  13. The Court has received Ms. DaCruz's Notice of Transfer in Civil Actions Nos. 22 MISC 000353 and 23 MISC 000189. General Laws chapter 185C, section 20 provides that "[a]ny civil action within the jurisdiction of the housing court department which is pending in another court department may be transferred to the housing court department by any party thereto." Since Ms. DaCruz is a "party" to Civil Action No. 23 MISC 000189, and since Mr. LeBlanc seeks in that suit an order evicting Ms. DaCruz, this Court DEEMS the Notice of Transfer proper as to Civil Action No. 23 MISC 000189 and DIRECTS the Recorder to perform all steps necessary to facilitate the transfer of that case to the Western Housing Court. The Land Court CANCELS its hearing on Mr. LeBlanc's motion for a preliminary injunction. The Court REJECTS Ms. DaCruz's notice of transfer in Civil Action No. 22 MISC 000353. Ms. DaCruz is not a "party" to that case, and hence she lacks the power under section 20 to transfer that case to the Western Housing Court. The Court ORDERS Mr. LeBlanc (in Case No. 22 MISC 000353) to report by May 26, 2023, and every 30 days thereafter, on the status of transferred eviction proceedings. SO ORDERED. Judge: Vhay, Hon. Michael D.
