Remove Your FindLaw Profile / Records.
Pay Only After Removal.

FindLaw's form asks directly whether you have a court order to redact or seal the document, and asks you to provide it. This is the strongest basis because the court itself has changed what is public. Once you have the order, we prepare the FindLaw request around it.

FindLaw also asks whether you can prove the case is not a public record. Examples include an expunged matter, a juvenile or otherwise confidential proceeding, or an opinion the court has withdrawn. The proof has to be a document, not a statement, and we help you identify and assemble the right one.

For a public case, FindLaw balances the harm to the individual against the research value of the case. A request is strongest when the harm is specific and documented. We tell you where yours falls.

A protective order, a stalking or harassment record, or a similar document showing that the page puts you at risk is the clearest kind of harm. We frame the request around the document itself, and we also check whether Google's personal information policies apply to the search result.

If the court later vacated or amended the opinion, or ordered that a party be identified by initials or a pseudonym, FindLaw's copy may no longer match the court's record. That is a factual basis for asking FindLaw to conform or remove its page, supported by the court's own document.

Opinions sometimes quote a home address, a date of birth or similar details. Even where FindLaw keeps the page, the Google result may qualify for removal under Google's personal information policies. This route addresses the search result, not the FindLaw page, and we say which one applies to you.

Employers are not the only ones who look. Clients doing due diligence, lenders, landlords, licensing boards, business partners and people you meet personally all search a name. A court opinion near the top shapes their view before any conversation happens.

The opinion rarely tells the whole story. A case you won, a case that was dismissed or settled, or one that is decades old still reads as a warning sign to someone skimming search results. You almost never get the chance to explain it.

It does not fade on its own. FindLaw keeps opinions as a research library, with no expiry. Unless the page is removed or redacted, or other pages about you become more prominent, the result stays where it is.

AI tools can repeat it. AI assistants that search the web, and Google's AI Overviews, can draw on indexed opinion pages when someone asks about you by name, without the context a careful reader would look for.

Removal at the source is the cleanest fix for both search and AI answers. Where FindLaw will not act, the next best step is making sure accurate, current pages about you are the ones these tools find.

When it searches the web, it can cite an indexed opinion page. A page that has been removed is no longer there to cite, though earlier training data can persist.

Built on Google's index. Clearing the Google result for a removed or redacted FindLaw page takes that page out of what an Overview can draw on.

Cites live web sources. A removed page stops being available as a source once it no longer loads.

Draws on Google's index for current information, so the same Google clearance step applies. It is included in every removal engagement at no additional charge.

Yes, when a request has a documented basis. FindLaw balances the harm to the individual against the research value of the case, and the strongest bases are a court order to seal or redact the document, proof that the case is not a public record, or specific documented harm. We build the request around the one that fits.

FindLaw has a Case Removal Request form. It asks for your name, email and phone, the case name, the case URL on FindLaw, your role, and the basis for the request. It also asks whether you can prove the case is not a public record and whether you have a court order to redact or seal the document. FindLaw says its follow-up usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. Reputation Resolutions prepares the basis and the supporting documents with you before the request goes in.

A named party in the case, that party's attorney, or a guardian. We prepare the request and the documentation, and it is submitted under your name or by your attorney, with our team behind it through FindLaw's follow-up.

FindLaw's form points to three things: a court order to redact or seal the document, proof that the case is not a public record, and a basis showing that the harm to you outweighs the research value of the case. In practice the strongest requests rest on a sealing, redaction or expungement order, a documented safety risk, or a court record that has changed since the opinion was published. We assess yours for free and tell you which applies.

Requests rest on a document or documented harm. A case that is only old, dismissed or settled needs one of those added, and we tell you in the free consultation what could be added and what can still be done on Google and with the content that ranks for your name.

FindLaw says its follow-up after reviewing a request usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. If FindLaw removes or redacts the page, Google still needs to recrawl it before the search result changes, which is why we file Google's outdated content request afterward.

You owe us nothing for that page. A second request makes sense when something new is added, such as a sealing or redaction order or new documentation of harm. We also work Google's own removal policies where they apply, the other sites carrying the case, and suppression, which is separate work scoped in writing.

Not immediately. Once the FindLaw page is removed or redacted, Google can keep showing the old title and snippet until it recrawls the page. We file a request through Google's outdated content tool after every confirmed FindLaw change, at no additional charge, so the result updates sooner. Copies of the same opinion on other sites are separate Google results and are handled site by site.

Usually not. Published opinions are republished by several case law sites, including Justia, CourtListener and Leagle, and docket sites can carry the filings behind the case. Each one has its own policy, and removal from FindLaw does not change any of them. We map every page showing the case for your name at the start so you can see the full picture and the realistic route for each.

FindLaw's Case Removal Request form covers court cases published on FindLaw. If your concern is an attorney directory profile rather than a case, tell us on the consultation and we will tell you what we can do.

They can. AI assistants that search the web, and Google's AI Overviews, can draw on indexed court opinion pages when someone asks about a person by name. When a FindLaw page is removed and the Google result is cleared, that page is no longer available as a live source.

The submission takes minutes. The work is everything around it: reading the opinion and the court record, identifying which basis FindLaw will actually weigh, assembling the court order or documentation, drafting the basis, answering FindLaw's follow-up, clearing the Google result afterward, and mapping the same case on other sites. You pay only after removal is confirmed, so if the request fails you have paid nothing for it.

It depends on the number of pages, which basis applies and how many other sites carry the same case. Reputation Resolutions charges nothing upfront for removal work, and our fee is collected only after removal is confirmed. FindLaw's request page mentions no fee to review a request. You get a case-specific quote on the free consultation, with no obligation.

A dismissal is a strong starting point, and it becomes a request FindLaw can act on when it comes with a sealing or expungement order, proof the record is no longer public, or documented harm that outweighs the research value of the opinion. We look at your dismissal and tell you what to add before anything is submitted.

It is the strongest basis and the one FindLaw's form asks about by name. Sealing, redaction and expungement go through a court, usually with an attorney. If an order is your best route, we tell you, and we prepare the FindLaw request and the Google clearance once you have it.

A redaction ordered by the court is the firm basis. Where the court has already ordered initials or a pseudonym, we ask FindLaw to conform its copy to the court's current record.

That is solved in search: by making sure the accurate pages about you, such as your professional profiles and your own site, are the ones that appear for your name. That is suppression work, scoped in writing.

Then we turn to Google's own removal policies where they apply, the other sites carrying the case, and suppression, which strengthens the accurate content you control so the FindLaw page is less prominent for your name. Suppression is separate work with its scope and cost set out in writing.

FindLaw publishes court opinions as a free legal research library. When a court issues a written opinion in a case, the parties are named in it, and FindLaw republishes the opinion on its own page. Because the opinion is a public court document, being a party to an appealed or published case is enough for your name to appear, even if you won or the case was dismissed.
