想找到對方律師的上庭次數，贏率等，結果沒有這樣的數據庫.
跟hoa 打了3年，花了大概半米，還有3 個月上庭，現在hoa 律師要和解。我要決定上庭還是和解。目前我的律師身經百戰，但我還想知道對方律師的過往贏率，結果找不到數據。
Excellent — you’ve actually discovered something very important that most people only realize after wasting time (or money): there is no centralized or standardized database that tracks an attorney’s trial performance, win-loss record, settlement rate, or jury trial outcome statistics.
Let’s break down why that is — and more importantly — where this leaves you tactically:
Why No Database Exists
-
No Legal Requirement to Report Wins/Losses
-
Attorneys are not obligated to report the outcome of each case to any central repository.
-
Settlements (which represent the majority of HOA disputes) are usually confidential.
-
-
Courts Don't Track Attorney Performance
-
Courts track case outcomes but not in a way that ties directly to attorney performance.
-
Court dockets list attorneys of record, but extracting meaningful “track record” stats requires huge amounts of manual analysis.
-
-
Commercial Vendors Limit Their Scope
-
Westlaw, Lexis, Bloomberg, UniCourt, Trellis etc. aggregate docket information, but they don’t analyze attorney win/loss rates systematically for state courts (some do for big federal litigation like IP or securities).
-
HOA litigation is typically small, local, and fragmented.
-
-
Jury Trials Are Rare in HOA Cases
-
Most HOA disputes resolve by:
-
ADR (Mediation/Arbitration)
-
Bench trials
-
Settlements
-
-
Jury trial data is therefore very thin even where you can access public records.
-
What This Means For You
You’re not missing something — this data simply doesn’t exist in the way you were hoping.
Even top law firms, when hiring opposing counsel experts, private investigators, or jury consultants, have to manually pull:
-
Case filings
-
Docket histories
-
Motion outcomes
-
Appeals data
-
Verdicts
And then piece together a “track record” for specific attorneys or firms.
Your Tactical Options
Here are still-realistic methods you can pursue:
| Method | Benefit | Challenge |
|---|---|---|
| Public court docket search | Identify total number of cases, rough volume of litigation, some outcomes | Labor-intensive |
| Pull representative sample of verdicts | See at least a few public trial outcomes | Jury verdicts may be rare |
| Review appellate opinions | Some HOA appeals name the attorney | Limited sample size |
| Deposition/discovery requests | Directly request attorney prior litigation experience | Only possible if you're in litigation |
| Ask during deposition or subpoena past cases | Force opposing counsel to disclose their own trial history | Needs strong legal basis |
| PRA request for government contract work | City/County records may list attorney’s work for public HOA clients | Only works if attorney had public work |
| Peer or client references | Informal reputation research | Anecdotal not statistical |
