Motion filed · May 22, 2026 · Hernandez v. Apex Trucking

The trucking company wants to block our key expert from testifying.

Apex Trucking just asked the judge to keep Dr. Reyes, our accident-reconstruction expert, from testifying at trial. They're arguing his method for calculating how fast the truck was going isn't reliable enough. This is a standard defense play at this stage. We have 14 days to respond, and we're confident we can keep him on the case.
AI summary · plain English
Def. Apex Trucking filed Motion in Limine per Daubert / Rule 702 to exclude plaintiff's expert Dr. K. Reyes (accident reconstruction). Challenge: methodology and foundation for speed-calculation opinion. Response due 14 days. Recommend: opposition + supplemental expert affidavit + request for Daubert hearing.

Why this matters

Communication failures are the leading cause of malpractice claims.

Malpractice insurers and state Bars have tracked this for years: it isn't bad lawyering that triggers most claims and complaints - it's a client who didn't know what was happening with their case. DocketBreeze closes that gap automatically.

How it works

Sign in. Drop in a case. Send your client a single link.

No download for you. No migration. No annual contract. No "let me schedule you with an implementation specialist." Your clients get an iPhone app - or they can use the web, whichever they prefer.

Create a free account.

Register with your email, set a password, and start your 30-day trial with no credit card on file. We walk you through the workspace so you know where cases, documents, and client links live.

Drop in a case from PACER, state court, or your own files.

PDF, zip, HTML, Word, or image. DocketBreeze reads the full docket and generates a timeline, party map, and two summaries of every filing: one for you, one for the client.

Send your client a single link.

They click, they see their case in plain English, they ask the AI their "just one quick question," and your phone goes quiet. When they do call, it's strategy. Billable.

Questions, answered

What lawyers ask first.

No. The AI is constrained to the documents in the case file. Every answer ends with a prompt to contact their attorney for strategy or judgment questions, explicitly redirecting those conversations back to you as scheduled, billable calls.
They don't have to. The plain-English summaries, timeline, deadline notifications, and document explanations all work without ever touching the AI. Most clients stop calling once they can actually see their own case.
Yes. DocketBreeze imports from PACER and the major state court systems, and also accepts PDFs, zip files, Word docs, HTML, and images. If you can open it, DocketBreeze can read it.
A few minutes to create your account. One click to import your first case. No migration, no IT call, no annual commitment. You'll be on a guided tour within minutes.
Every case is encrypted in transit (256-bit TLS). The attorney view is a private command center: internal notes, opposing counsel info, and billing logs are never visible to the client unless you choose them to be. A "Preview as Client" toggle shows exactly what your client sees before you share.
Yes. Month-to-month. Cancel in settings. No retention call. No "final offer" email. That's the whole point.
Every feature, unlocked, on up to five cases and 200 pages of AI analyzed documents. No credit card on file. When the trial ends, you can continue at solo rates ($49/mo billed annually or $59/mo month-to-month) or walk away. Nothing charges automatically.
The solo attorney rate is $49/mo when billed annually ($59/mo month-to-month). Firms add attorneys by the seat: each additional attorney is a flat fee, and at 2 or more attorneys the per-attorney rate drops. Every plan includes every feature, no stripped-down tiers. Compare plans and pricing.
