Remove Your Trellis Law Record. Pay Only After Removal.

A court order sealing the record is what Trellis requires for a permanent removal, and it asks you to upload the order through the redaction process if a sealed case is still showing. We match the order to every Trellis URL for the case.

Trellis redacts names and limits logged-out access for unsealed cases. A dismissed or closed case with a clear, specific reason is a strong request, and we write it that way.

A family, juvenile or guardianship matter that identifies a child gives a strong, specific reason for redaction, and we state the minor's involvement plainly in the request.

Where the case arose from someone using your identity, we say so in the request and attach the police or identity theft report. Trellis's form asks whether the record is about you, and for a case that names a different person who shares your name, we tell you what to ask for.

If the Trellis page shows a party, status or outcome that differs from the court's file, we document the difference in the request.

A protective order, a stalking or harassment report or enrollment in an address confidentiality program gives a concrete reason to redact a page that exposes you, and we present that evidence in the request.

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 Trellis Law 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 case 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 Trellis Law 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 Trellis case page when it searches the web for a name. Once the page is redacted and out of Google, it is less likely to be retrieved.

Built on Google's index. A Trellis 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 redacted Trellis page is less likely to be found and cited.

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

A marketing executive is interviewing for a new role. A Trellis page showing a dismissed civil case from 2019 ranks on the first page of Google for her name. The case ended with no finding against her, but the page does not make that obvious, and the case was never sealed.

We would tell her that permanent removal needs a sealing order, which is a question for her attorney, and that redaction is the realistic request today. We would file the Request Redaction form for each Trellis URL in her name and, once Trellis confirms, ask Google to refresh the result. She pays only after the page is confirmed out of public view.

A business owner's 2017 divorce case appears on Trellis, UniCourt and Justia, and the filings name his minor children. He emailed Trellis asking for the page to be taken down and heard nothing back, because Trellis does not process redaction requests sent by email.

We would file through the Request Redaction form for each Trellis URL and state plainly that the record identifies children. UniCourt lists a record that concerns and harms a minor as a factor in its own redaction policy, so that request would follow, with Justia handled separately under its own rules.

Yes, in two ways. Redaction removes public, logged-out access to the case page and asks search engines not to index it. Removal or permanent deletion follows the publishing court's order sealing the record. We prepare and manage whichever fits your case, and you pay only if it succeeds.

Find your case at trellis.law, open the docket page, and use the Request Redaction button at the bottom right. The form asks for your name, your email address, whether the record is about you and why you want it redacted, and lets you upload a court sealing order. Each case URL needs its own request, and Trellis emails you once the record is redacted or removed. We handle every URL for you, in your name with your authorization.

For a sealed case, the court order is what counts, and it supports full removal. For an unsealed case, the request rests on the reason you give: a dismissed or closed case, a child identified in the file, identity theft, a safety risk, or an error. We tell you in the free consultation which applies to your record.

Trellis processes requests in the order received. After the Trellis page goes inactive, Google drops the old result, and we ask Google to refresh it. We keep you updated throughout the process and give you a realistic expectation in the consultation.

We check whether the request was made through the form for the right URL and whether anything new can be added, such as a sealing order or a clearer reason, and we resubmit with it. You owe nothing for a request that does not succeed.

A completed redaction asks search engines not to index the page, and Google then drops it. If a search engine still lists a case after the Trellis link is inactive, we make that request to Google as part of every engagement at no additional charge.

Usually not. State court cases commonly also appear on UniCourt and Justia, and people-search sites can pick up court data. A Trellis redaction covers Trellis, so we map every site surfacing your record at the start of every engagement and address the full footprint.

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

The form is only the first step. We find every Trellis URL for your name, prepare each request, handle a sealing order where you hold one, get Google to drop the result once the page is inactive, and address UniCourt, Justia and the other sites carrying the case. You pay only after the result is confirmed.

Often it can be redacted, which takes the page out of public view on Trellis and asks search engines to drop it. For full removal, a dismissed case would be sealed by the court, and we coordinate with your attorney on that. We assess your specific situation and advise before any submission is made.

Yes, by redaction. Trellis redacts names and limits logged-out access for unsealed cases. A clear reason helps: a closed or dismissed case, a child named in the file, identity theft, or a safety concern. We start with an assessment of your specific situation.

It removes access to the case URL for public, logged-out users and asks that search engines not index or rank the case. For most people the concern is their name appearing in Google, which redaction addresses once Google drops the page. Full deletion follows a court sealing order.

We do. We find every Trellis URL, prepare each request in your name with your authorization, follow up, and handle Google and the other sites. Your consultation and case are handled confidentially.

We charge nothing upfront, and our fee is collected only after removal or redaction is confirmed. It depends on the number of case URLs and the other sites involved. Schedule a free consultation and we will give you a clear, case-specific assessment at no charge and no obligation.

We review the Trellis pages carrying your name, tell you which route fits, and explain what the request would involve. The consultation is free and confidential, and you pay only if the result is confirmed.

The informal check is where it matters most: the employer, recruiter or client who searches your name before a meeting and finds the Trellis page. Redaction addresses that once the page drops out of Google. Formal screening companies pull from court records directly, so those reports are unchanged.

Yes. Trellis aggregates data from state trial courts, which includes family law cases such as divorce proceedings, child custody matters and domestic relations filings. These records can be especially sensitive, and a child identified in the file is a strong reason for a redaction request. We handle these cases confidentially.

Sealing restricts public access to a record while the record continues to exist. Expungement goes further, destroying the record or treating it as though the event never occurred. Both are ordered by a court. For Trellis, a valid order sealing or expunging the underlying case is the strongest basis for full removal. Once the order exists, we submit it to Trellis and manage the removal and Google clearance end-to-end.

Trellis describes itself as a research platform for state trial courts, and coverage varies by state and county. We check whether your case appears and map every page carrying it.

Suppression. We build and strengthen accurate, positive results for your name so the Trellis page no longer sits at the top of search results. It is separate work, scoped in writing, and we tell you which path fits before you commit.
