Remove Your PacerMonitor Record. Pay Only After Removal.

A federal court order sealing the case, or an expungement order covering it, is the strongest basis for a request. PacerMonitor copied the docket before the order existed and does not find out by itself. We send the order with the case number and the exact URLs. We coordinate with your attorney if the order is still to be obtained.

If the case or a filing has been restricted or removed on PACER itself, the PacerMonitor copy is out of date. We document the current PACER status and ask PacerMonitor to match it.

Federal court rules call for minors to be identified by initials only. Where a filing or docket text on PacerMonitor names a minor in full, there is a clear privacy basis to ask for the page to be blocked or the name redacted, supported by the rule and the document itself.

If the case names a different person who shares your name, or was opened using your stolen identity, we document the mismatch (a different party, district or date, or an identity theft report) and ask for the page to be corrected or blocked. We document why it is not you.

Where the page exposes someone to a documented risk, for example a protective order, a stalking or harassment report, or enrollment in an address confidentiality program, we present that evidence. We tell you in the free consultation how strong this ground is for your situation.

A PacerMonitor page can lag behind the court's docket. If its page shows the wrong party role, a stale status (still open when the case was dismissed or closed), or data that differs from PACER, we document the difference and request a correction.

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 PacerMonitor 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 can still read as a red flag in a search result, with no room for context. Clearing the page removes the question.

Handled once, handled fully. We map the other aggregators carrying your docket at the start, so the whole footprint is cleared together.

AI answers now repeat it. ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini synthesize high-authority sources like PacerMonitor into direct answers about you. An indexed record shapes what AI tells anyone who asks, not just what they find in the blue links.

A court record cited by an AI tool as background fact is more damaging than a link the reader never clicked. Dealing with the page at the source is the most direct way to reduce both.

Can cite a PacerMonitor case page when it searches the web for a name. Once the page is blocked and out of Google, it is less likely to be retrieved.

Built on Google's index. A PacerMonitor page that ranks for your name can feed the summary above the results, and a page that has dropped out of the index generally cannot.

Searches the live web and lists its sources. A blocked PacerMonitor page is less likely to be found and cited.

Draws on Google Search for current information. The Google refresh we request after a confirmed block addresses that path.

Yes, qualifying pages can be blocked or removed. PacerMonitor republishes federal court dockets from PACER, and requests go to its support team. The realistic result is a case page blocked from search engines or taken out of public view, so it stops appearing for your name. The record itself stays on PACER. The strongest requests rest on a court order sealing or expunging the case, a minor named in full, mistaken identity, a documented safety risk, or a page that no longer matches the docket. We prepare and manage that request, and you pay only if it succeeds.

There is no removal form. A request goes by email to support@pacermonitor.com and should include the exact case URL, the case number, who you are in the case, the reason, and the documents that support it, such as a sealing order or the docket entry showing a dismissal. You can send this yourself at no cost. What we add is a view of whether it is worth sending, the documentation, the follow-up, the Google refresh afterward, and the same work on the other sites carrying the case.

These are the grounds a request can be built on: a court order sealing or expunging the case, a case or filing that is no longer public on PACER, a minor identified by full name, mistaken identity or identity theft, a documented safety risk, and a page that is materially out of date or wrong compared with the docket. We tell you in the free consultation which applies to your record.

Some requests are answered quickly and others need follow-up or more documents. After a page is blocked or removed, Google recrawls it before the result drops out, and we request that refresh. We give you a realistic expectation for your case in the consultation and keep you updated as responses come in.

We look at whether there is something new to add, such as a sealing order obtained later, proof of mistaken identity, or a docket status the page gets wrong, and we resubmit with it. You owe nothing for the attempt, and we explain the remaining options, including Google's own removal routes for specific personal information and suppression.

When a PacerMonitor case page is blocked from search engines or taken down, Google drops it after it recrawls the page. After every confirmed block or removal we ask Google to refresh the result, at no additional charge. Other sites carrying the same federal case are separate pages, which we map and handle separately.

Probably not. Federal dockets are republished by several sites, commonly CourtListener, Justia, Docket Alarm, DocketBird and UniCourt, and written opinions can also appear on case law databases. Each has its own rules and needs its own request. We map every site surfacing your case at the start so the whole footprint is addressed.

They can. AI tools that search the web, including ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini, draw on indexed pages, and a PacerMonitor case page that ranks for your name is one of them. Once the page is blocked from search engines and drops out of Google, it is much less likely to be retrieved.

PacerMonitor has no form, only a support email, and you can write to it yourself for free. What we add is an assessment of whether the request has a basis before anything is sent, a documented request made in your name, the follow-up, the Google refresh once the page is blocked, and the same work across the other aggregators carrying the docket. You pay only after a removal is confirmed.

PacerMonitor is a commercial docket-tracking service, now a Fitch Solutions service, that pulls federal court filings from PACER. It was built for lawyers, lenders and analysts who follow litigation and bankruptcies, but it also publishes a public page for each case, with the party names in the title. Google indexes those pages, and because the title is literally your name and the case, the page can rank near the top when someone searches for you.

Often it is worth a request. A dismissal is a real point in your favor, because the page often still reads like a live lawsuit. The request is stronger when the docket shows a dismissal with prejudice or a voluntary dismissal and the page is causing a specific, documented harm. We review your docket and tell you whether the request is worth making before anything is sent.

No. PACER is the official federal court records system run by the U.S. Courts. PacerMonitor is a private company that copies docket data from PACER and republishes it on public pages. Getting a page blocked on PacerMonitor is what changes your Google results, and we coordinate with your attorney if you also pursue sealing of the official record.

We charge nothing upfront for removal. The fee is due only after the PacerMonitor page is confirmed blocked or removed. Pricing depends on how many case pages and how many other sites are involved. You get a written assessment and a quote in the free consultation, before you commit to anything.

Bankruptcy cases are a large share of what PacerMonitor carries. What can often be achieved is a search engine block on the PacerMonitor page, most realistically when the case was dismissed or closed long ago, when the page is wrong, or when a court has restricted the file. We review your docket and tell you which applies.

A blocked page can be indexed again if the site changes how it handles the page, and the same case can appear on a different aggregator that picked up the docket later. That is why we map the related sites at the start and tell you which ones we are addressing. If a page we cleared comes back, tell us and we will look at it.

It helps with the informal check: the employer, client, lender or landlord who types your name into Google or asks an AI tool, which is where most of the damage happens. Formal screening reports pull from court records and PACER directly, so those are not changed by a PacerMonitor block.

The person named in the case, or their attorney or another authorized representative. We work with your written authorization, and the request is made in your name with documents showing who you are in the case. A company can ask about a case that names it.

Federal court records carry a strong presumption of public access, and PacerMonitor copies the federal PACER docket directly. Restricting the official record takes an order from the federal court that handled the case. The copy on PacerMonitor and its Google listing is where most people see the results, and that is where our request works.

Suppression. We publish and strengthen accurate content about you so the PacerMonitor page moves down the results. It is scoped and priced in writing, separate from removal, and we tell you which path fits before you commit to anything.
