About UsCourtTrax has been providing online court information search and retrieval services since 2004. Beginning with Washington state, CourtTrax has expanded its coverage to include the Federal Court System (i.e., nationwide access to all Federal District and Bankruptcy Courts), Oregon state, and most recently, Utah, Arizona and Nevada. The company expects to have complete national coverage for all Superior, District, Municipal and Appellate/Supreme courts that offer online access, by the end of Q3 2009. This aggressive build-out is the result of a recent round of venture funding the company received from Texas Pacific Group, Benchmark Capital, Foundation Capital and MHS Capital. These leading venture investors are excited by the opportunities to use CourtTrax's patent-pending search technology, cutting edge web services infrastructure, comprehensive real time court information access, and disruptive pricing model to address unmet needs in the Legal, Risk Management, Title Plant and Background Screening markets. CourtTrax's mission is to become the leading provider of court information and related services in the United States.
