Remove records that follow you.
Dismissed charges and old cases don't have to define what people find. We request removal from aggregator sites and use search suppression when a record can't come down.
Researched: October 2026
Quick overview
- We request removal of court filings and legal records from aggregator sites, and use search suppression when a record can't come down.
- Dismissed charges, acquittals, and expunged records have the strongest grounds for removal.
- Two things decide most outcomes: the kind of site hosting the record, and where the case stands legally.
- We are not a legal expungement service; sealing or deleting the court's own record is a matter for a licensed attorney.
What we do
Arrest record removal and suppression
Arrest records, especially for dismissed cases, acquittals, and expunged records, removed or pushed down in search.
Court document de-indexing
Court case filings and documents removed from Google's index so they no longer appear in search.
Aggregator removal requests
Redaction or opt-out requests submitted the way each site processes them.
Monitoring for re-publication
Re-checking for records that reappear on other aggregator sites.
Our approach
How we handle a court record case
Many court record aggregators accept some kind of redaction or opt-out request, and citing a privacy law, a sealed or expunged status, or a court order carries more weight than a plain ask. It's worth trying that route first, especially on a site with a working self-service form.
When a site ignores the request, buries it behind a paid removal product, or the record needs to come down from several aggregators at once, we identify the strongest grounds for each site, submit the request the way that site processes it, and follow up until it clears.
What decides whether a record comes down
Not every site works the same way. Two things carry most of the weight: the kind of document involved, and where the case stands legally.
Sites built around tracking cases and dockets are the more workable group. Several of them accept a removal or redaction request through their own channel, and a case that is closed or dismissed has a real chance of coming down.
Legal research archives behave differently. They hold published decisions the way a library holds books, so pulling one means removing part of the collection.
Most have no public removal form and have to be contacted directly, and they rarely take a record down at all. The guide for each site below says which of the two you are dealing with.
What happens after a request goes in
The request reaches a legal team or an editorial board. A person reviews it, not a script.
That review isn't automated, so neither the answer nor the timing can be promised in advance.
Plan on roughly two weeks to more than a month before you hear anything. A few sites publish their own turnaround times, and those are noted in the individual site guides.

Site-specific removal guides
Each court record aggregator has its own removal process. Start with the guide for the specific site your record is on:
What we don't do
We don't offer legal expungement. We request removal from search engines and third-party websites and use search suppression, but we don't seal or delete the underlying court record, so for expungement, consult a licensed attorney.
We don't guarantee removal from every aggregator. The outcome depends on each site's own policy and on whether it accepts third-party redaction requests at all.
When removal probably won't work
If the case is still active, or if it ended in a standing criminal conviction or a civil judgment against you, the odds of getting the record taken down are low. We tell you that up front.
Suppression is still a real option in these cases: moving the record off page one for searches on your name, even when it can't come down. Search suppression is built for this case.
Common questions
Does removing a court record from Google delete the official record?
No. We remove or suppress the record from search results and third-party sites — the official record stays in the court's own database. Deleting or sealing the underlying record itself requires legal expungement through the court, which is a separate process from what we do.
I already got my record expunged — why does it still show on Google?
An expungement order seals the record at the court, but it doesn't automatically reach every site that already indexed or copied it beforehand. The order typically needs to be submitted to each site hosting the record, and the outdated page needs to be removed from Google's index separately. We handle both parts.
Is expungement the same service you offer?
No — expungement is a legal process (petition, case documentation, sometimes a hearing) that only a licensed attorney can file. We remove and suppress records from search and third-party sites; we don't offer legal expungement services (see the note above).
Will the record reappear after it’s removed?
It can. Court record aggregators regularly re-scrape court databases, so a record removed from one site can resurface on another later. That's why we monitor for re-publication rather than treating removal as a one-time task.
Do you cover dismissed charges and acquittals specifically?
Yes — dismissed charges, acquittals, and expunged records get particular priority, since these cases have the strongest grounds for removal from aggregator sites that publish outdated or resolved charges as if they were still active.
Do I pay if the record isn't removed?
Our removal services are no-removal, no-fee: you're invoiced only once we achieve the removal defined in your Service Agreement. Search suppression is billed for the work performed.
