Remove Your Docket Alarm Record. Pay Only After Removal.

Docket Alarm says cases that mention minors are suppressed automatically, and it names minors first among the privacy grounds for suppression. If a case involving a child is still showing, we file the request for each page and follow it through.

Docket Alarm says clearly personal cases, giving Social Security matters and divorces as examples, are suppressed automatically, along with many others. If yours is still public, a request that identifies it as a personal matter has a published basis.

Docket Alarm says cases that could lead to harassment may be suppressed. We describe the risk accurately and specifically inside the 300-character limit. If you are in immediate danger, contact law enforcement first.

Docket Alarm says cases that implicate personal privacy may be suppressed. These are decided case by case, and we tell you how strong the privacy argument is.

A case with an individual on one side can be considered on personal privacy grounds.

Docket Alarm's removal page does not mention court orders. Its stated reason for publishing is that the information is public record, and a sealed or expunged case no longer is. We submit the request with that fact, and use the same order on every other site carrying the case.

It is not only employers who look. Clients and business partners running due diligence, lenders and underwriters, landlords screening tenants, licensing and professional boards, investors, and even people you meet personally all search your name. A Docket Alarm record near the top shapes their decision before any conversation happens.

The record rarely tells the whole story. A case that was dismissed, settled, resolved in your favor, or is decades old still reads as a red flag to anyone skimming a search result, and you almost never get the chance to explain the context.

It does not expire. Unless the case is suppressed, the page and its search result can stay in place indefinitely, however old the case is.

AI answers now repeat it. AI search tools can draw on publicly indexed pages, including docket sites. A case page that is open to search engines is also open to the tools that summarize search results.

The court record stays public. What changes is whether a search engine, or a tool built on one, leads people to it.

Can cite publicly indexed pages when it searches the web. A suppressed page is harder for it to find.

Built on Google's index. Once Google drops the Docket Alarm result, it is no longer available to AI Overviews as an indexed source.

Cites live web sources in real-time search responses. A Docket Alarm page that search engines no longer index is less likely to be found and cited.

Draws on Google's index when it searches. The Google request we file after suppression addresses the same index.

Docket Alarm suppresses some cases on request. Its removal page says its information is public record and generally appears, but that cases implicating personal privacy, especially those involving minors or that could lead to harassment, may be suppressed. Suppression is free and is requested through its own form.

You submit a suppression request through Docket Alarm's removal page at docketalarm.com/Remove. The form asks for your first and last name, email, phone number, a link to the case, and a reason of one or two sentences with a 300-character limit. Each request covers one link, so several pages need several requests. Reputation Resolutions prepares and files each one, then clears the Google result.

Find every Docket Alarm page that carries your name, including the docket page and any separate filing pages, and submit one suppression request per link with a short, accurate reason. Docket Alarm suppresses the case page, not just your name on it.

Docket Alarm's removal page names personal privacy as the ground, especially cases involving minors or cases that could lead to harassment. It says cases that mention minors or are clearly personal, such as Social Security matters and divorces, are suppressed automatically. Everything else is decided case by case. We check your case against these grounds before you commit.

Docket Alarm focuses on personal privacy, so requests from an individual named in a case are the strongest. We tell you on the free consultation how a business or professional matter would be assessed.

The form is open to anyone and does not ask for proof that you are a party. In practice the request should come from the person whose privacy is affected, or someone acting for them.

Docket Alarm says decisions usually come within five business days, followed by an email confirmation. After approval, search engine snippets can take a few weeks to clear, which is why we file a Google request and check the result.

If a request is not approved, we look at whether a material fact was left out, such as a minor being involved or a sealing order, and whether a new request is justified. We also work the other sites carrying the case, and suppression in search is available as a separate, scoped service.

Docket Alarm suppresses the page right away, and search engine snippets can take a few weeks to clear. Once suppression is confirmed we file the page with Google's outdated content tool and check that the result has dropped.

Usually not. The same federal case is often republished by DocketBird, CourtListener, Justia, PacerMonitor, UniCourt, and Trellis, and each has its own policy. We list every site carrying your case in the free assessment and tell you what is realistic for each.

They can. AI search tools draw on pages that are publicly indexed, and Docket Alarm case pages are indexed by search engines. Suppressing the page and clearing the Google result removes one source those tools can find.

The form is free and you can file it yourself. For one page with a clear privacy ground, that may be all you need. We help when there are several pages, when the ground is not obvious, and when the same case sits on other sites and in Google: we file every request, verify the suppression, clear Google, and work through the other sites. You pay only after removal is confirmed.

Docket Alarm does not charge for suppression. Our fee depends on the number of pages and how many other sites carry the case, and it is collected only after removal is confirmed. There is no retainer and no upfront cost. The consultation is free and you get a clear quote before deciding.

What matters under Docket Alarm's policy is personal privacy: whether the case is a personal matter, involves a minor, or could lead to harassment. A dismissed case involving an individual can be requested on privacy grounds, and we tell you how strong that request is.

Docket Alarm suppression clears the Docket Alarm page. DocketBird, CourtListener, Justia, and Trellis each operate independently and need their own requests under their own rules. We map and address them in the same engagement, because clearing one site while three others stay up does not solve the problem.

Docket Alarm's process centers on personal privacy. An attorney who is personally a party to a private matter can be assessed individually, and we tell you in the free consultation how your situation fits.

Docket Alarm's removal page does not mention criminal convictions either way. The strongest requests rest on a privacy ground such as a minor or a harassment risk, or on a later sealing or expungement. We tell you at intake which applies to your case.

A Docket Alarm case page shows the case name, the court, the parties, filing dates, and the list of docket entries, with documents available to its users. For an individual that means your name, your role in the case, and what the case was about, on a page search engines can index.

Docket Alarm describes the outcome as the case being suppressed on Docket Alarm and hidden from search engine results, which is what people find when they search your name. The court's own docket changes only if a court seals the record.

Docket Alarm's removal page does not mention sealing or expungement orders, so there is no published rule. Its stated basis for publishing is that the information is public record, and a sealed or expunged case no longer is, which makes the order the strongest fact a request can carry. If you still need that order, an attorney handles that step and we work alongside yours.

No. Docket Alarm says suppression is free, and its removal page lists no paid option to speed it up. Reputation Resolutions' fee is for finding every page, preparing and filing the requests, clearing Google, and handling the other sites, and it is collected only after removal is confirmed.
