Data-based claim assessment

What are your chances in court? I'll tell you before you spend a penny.

I work with the largest database of Czech court decisions – over 600,000 decisions and millions of tracked proceedings. From them I can read how disputes like yours end, how your court decides, and what chance an appeal has.

The first assessment is free for new clients. No commitment, covered by attorney–client privilege.

Two questions you get answered

Is it worth suing? Is an appeal worth it?

Every dispute starts with the same question: is it worth it? Instead of a guess “from experience”, you get an answer grounded in how similar disputes actually ended before Czech courts.

Free for new clients

Chances of a claim before filing

  • How often claimants succeeded in comparable disputes – by type of claim, amount and counterparty.
  • How long similar proceedings take at the court where you would file.
  • Where the weak spot usually is: evidence, limitation, cost exposure.
  • A recommendation: sue, negotiate, or let it go.

Fixed fee agreed in advance

Chances of an appeal

  • How often the appellate court – the specific regional or high court – changes or quashes decisions in similar cases.
  • What decides an appeal: quality of the reasoning, evidence taken, a hearing before the appellate court.
  • How long an appeal takes and what it costs you if it fails.
  • A recommendation: appeal, settle, or accept the judgment.

How it works

Five minutes of your time, two working days of mine.

01

Describe the dispute

Fill in the short form below – what it is about, how much, who the other side is. Attach the judgment or claim if you have one.

02

I search the database

I find disputes with the same type of claim, at the same court, ideally the same panel, and look at how they ended and how long they took.

03

You get the assessment

Within 2 working days: probability of success, main risks, estimated duration and cost, and a clear recommendation.

04

You decide

The assessment commits you to nothing. If you decide to litigate, I can represent you – or take the assessment to your own lawyer.

Why data

Lawyers usually estimate. I add the numbers.

Most lawyers estimate chances from their own experience of dozens or hundreds of cases. I rely on a database I built myself: over 600,000 decisions of Czech courts linked to the course of millions of proceedings – who sued, at which court and panel, how long it took, whether a hearing was held, how the appellate court ruled.

Every figure in the assessment traces back to specific decisions. You don't get a feeling; you get a sample of comparable disputes and their outcomes.

Similar disputes

Same type of claim, comparable amount, similar counterparty.

Your court

How the court and panel handling your case decide – not a nationwide average.

Appellate practice

How often regional and high courts uphold, change and quash judgments in such cases.

Duration and costs

Real length of proceedings and cost awards from actual cases.

Statistics are not a guarantee. The outcome of every dispute depends on the evidence and the specific circumstances. The assessment tells you what your chances look like in the light of the data – not how the case will end.

Frequently asked questions

Is the first assessment really free?

Yes. For new clients the first assessment – before filing a claim, or of an appeal – is free and without commitment. Further assessments and detailed analysis are at a fixed fee agreed in advance.

Which disputes do you assess?

Civil and commercial disputes before Czech courts: unpaid receivables, contract disputes, damages, shareholder disputes, employment disputes, real-estate disputes. I do not assess criminal matters.

How accurate is the assessment?

Accuracy grows with the number of similar disputes in the database and how well you describe yours. For typical disputes I work with dozens to hundreds of comparable decisions. I always state the size of the sample I rely on.

What do you need from me?

A few sentences about the dispute, the amount and the counterparty. If a claim or judgment already exists, attach it – the assessment will be considerably more precise.

Do you have to represent me afterwards?

No. The assessment commits you to nothing. You can take it to your own lawyer, or decide not to litigate at all.

Is my information safe?

Yes. As an attorney I am bound by professional secrecy, the form runs over a secure connection, and I use your data solely to assess your dispute.

Before you file a claim or an appeal, find out where you stand.
