A recently launched company helps consumers find lawyers based on their win rates for particular types of cases.

Called Justice Toolbox, the startup uses data mined from official state court records to compute and display how many cases a lawyer has won and lost and the lawyer’s approximate win rate.

Users can search the site by lawyer name, case type or location or they can browse listings by the same criteria.Currently operating only in Maryland and the District of Columbia, the free service uses data from nearly 5 million state court records covering more than 70,000 lawyers and allows searching for 180 case types. It plans to expand to several more cities by June.
