I have not found the statistics you want but a local magazine has done
an evaluation of Philadelphia attorneys.
Here are their criteria:
In Philadelphia, we're blessed with one of the strongest legal
traditions in the country, but having 14,000 lawyers can also be a
curse. How do you begin to figure out who to go to? We asked them who
they'd go to. First we sent surveys to 4,000 Philadelphia lawyers
randomly selected from the rolls of the Philadelphia Bar Association
and asked which attorneys they would turn to for legal help. Next, to
guard against ballot-stuffing, cliquishness, parochialism and hype, we
talked to more than 100 acknowledged leaders of the bar, legal
headhunters, prosecutors, clients and corporate in-house counsel, to
make sure the survey results reflected consensus within the various
practice areas."
Would such an article serve your purpose?

Dear honeyboy,
Are you speaking of any litigation success against the School District
of Philadelphia, or were you thinking of a specific type of
litigation? (i.e., if you are interested in firms which have
successfully prosecuted employment discrimination claims against the
school district, it probably won't help you if a researcher produces a
list of firms which have successfully prosecuted claims under the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.)
