Your case work is public. Your home address shouldn't be.
Attorneys work in adversarial contexts. Court records, bar filings, and firm directories make your professional identity easy to find. Data brokers tie that identity to your home address, phone, and family.

The adversarial nature of legal work creates personal risk
Legal professionals routinely deal with parties who have reason to seek them out. When personal data is freely available, the distance between professional and private life narrows.
Court records connect to personal data
Case filings are public and contain your full name, bar number, and firm. Brokers link that to your home address, phone, and relatives, so anyone in the case can make the connection from the public filing alone.
Opposing parties have motivation to look
Criminal defendants, contentious civil litigants, and family-law parties sometimes seek out the attorney on the other side.
The most cited example is the 2020 attack at federal judge Esther Salas's home. Her 20-year-old son Daniel was killed by a former litigant who had located the family's address through a data broker. The federal Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act, signed in 2022, was the response.
Family members become collateral exposure
Brokers list relatives and household members on your record. Anyone who finds your people-search profile finds the names, and sometimes addresses, of your spouse, children, and other family.
Exposure accumulates with career length
Every case, firm change, and bar listing adds to your broker footprint. Long-career attorneys often have the most extensive profiles, with address histories spanning decades and contacts across jurisdictions.

Audit your exposure
We scan the web for your name, home address, phone number, and email. You'll see a report of what's published and where.
Remove personal listings
We submit opt-out and deletion requests to every site where your personal data appears. That includes automated form submissions, CCPA and state-law deletion requests, and follow-up when a broker doesn't comply.
Protect household members
You can add paid coverage for your spouse and other household members. Because brokers link relatives by address, incomplete removal leaves gaps. Covering the household closes them.
Monitor for re-listing
Data brokers re-list records regularly. New case filings and bar updates feed them fresh data. We run a full scan every month and resubmit removals when your information reappears.

Questions from legal professionals
Can you remove information that comes from court records or bar filings?
We can't remove the original court or bar records because they're government-maintained. We do remove the aggregated profiles on broker sites that pull from those records and combine them with your home address, phone, and family.
I've already been contacted at home by someone from a case. Can you help?
Yes. We can scan and submit removals quickly. Past contact can't be undone, but removing your address, phone, and family from broker sites makes it much harder to find those details again. Start with a free scan.
Does this work for attorneys in all practice areas?
Yes. The same broker sites publish attorney data regardless of practice area. Risk profile varies by practice area, but the removal process is the same.
Can I sign up my firm's attorneys?
Each attorney needs their own profile (removal requires individual consent). You can add paid coverage for an attorney and their household. For firm-wide inquiries, contact support@delist.ai.
How do you handle the data I provide for the scan?
AES-256 at rest. No plaintext PII in the database. Profile data is decrypted only during active scan and removal operations, then immediately re-encrypted. Emails are stored as SHA-256 hashes for lookup.
