Trellis.law Removal
Get your court records off Trellis.law and out of Google search results. We handle the full process for you, then keep it from coming back.
When your past keeps showing up first
When someone searches your name, your past can come right back to the surface. Platforms like Trellis.law collect public court data and publish it for anyone to see. A case from years ago, even a minor or dismissed one, can show up on the first page of Google and shape how people judge you today.
The person searching sees the record out of context. They do not see your growth, your work, or who you have become since. One result can define their whole impression of you, and that is exactly why people want their name off Trellis.
NewReputation removes your records from Trellis, helps with what cannot be removed directly, and monitors the web so it stays handled. You do not have to work through this alone.
How your information ended up on Trellis
Trellis.law is a legal research platform that gathers public court records from state trial courts and federal courts. It organizes those records and publishes them in a format that is easy to search, then sells subscription access to attorneys, researchers, and the public.
Court records have always been public. The difference is access. In the past, finding a case meant a trip to the courthouse. Now a site like Trellis puts it one search away, and Google indexes those pages so they can rank under your name. The same record often appears on other legal aggregator sites at the same time, which is why one case can show up in several places at once.
What Trellis will and will not remove
This is the part most people get wrong, so it matters. Trellis treats sealed and unsealed records very differently.
If your record is sealed or expunged
Trellis will remove it. Once you provide a valid court order sealing the record, Trellis takes down public access and asks search engines not to index that page. This is the only path to permanent removal.
If your record is not sealed
Trellis is not required to remove it. As a courtesy, they may redact your name and limit access for logged-out visitors, but the underlying record stays accessible and the case remains in their database. Without a court order, there is no guaranteed takedown.
A few more things Trellis makes clear:
Each case or docket URL needs its own separate request.
Trellis only controls pages that end in trellis.law. It does not control Google, Google's ranking, or AI snippets in search.
Removing the page from Trellis does not instantly remove it from Google.
The cleanest path to getting a record off Trellis for good is sealing or expunging it at the court first. We can tell you whether your case may qualify and what to gather.
How to request removal from Trellis
Here is the process Trellis requires. We complete each step for you, but this is what it looks like.
Find your case on Trellis
Search Trellis.law for the case or docket that lists your name.
Open the redaction request
On the case page, click the Request Redaction button.
Fill out the form
Enter your name and email, confirm the record is about you, and explain why you want it redacted.
Upload your court order, if you have one
For permanent deletion, attach the order sealing the record. Without it, Trellis can only redact as a courtesy.
Submit the request
Trellis processes requests in the order received and will contact you if they need more information.
Wait for confirmation
Once processed, Trellis redacts or removes access and asks search engines to stop indexing the page.
After Trellis: getting it out of Google
Even after Trellis redacts or removes your record, Google can take weeks to catch up, because the page may still be live or cached. To speed that up, submit the URL through Google's Refresh Outdated Content tool the same day Trellis confirms the change. You may need to request it more than once.
This is the step most people skip, and it is the difference between "removed from Trellis" and "gone from your search results."
If your record is not sealed
Hitting the unsealed wall is common, and it does not mean you are stuck. You have real options:
Seal or expunge the case at the court
This is the strongest move. If your case qualifies, a court order unlocks full removal from Trellis. We can guide you through what the court needs.
Suppress it
When removal is not possible, we build and rank stronger, accurate content about you so the Trellis result gets pushed down and off the first page.
Hand it to a professional
Working with the court, gathering documentation, and following up across every site is slow and frustrating. That is the work we take off your plate.
