Your case work is public. Your home address shouldn't be.
Attorneys work in adversarial contexts by definition. 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.
Protect your case-work boundary →The adversarial nature of legal work creates personal risk
Legal professionals routinely deal with parties who have reason to seek them out. When personal information 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. Anyone in the case can make the connection in minutes.
Opposing parties have motivation to look
Criminal defendants, contentious civil litigants, and family-law parties sometimes seek out the attorney on the other side. It happens regularly enough that bar associations have published guidance on it.
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 — 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 detailed report of exactly what's published and where.
Remove personal listings
We submit opt-out and deletion requests to every site where your personal data appears. Automated form submissions, CCPA/GDPR legal requests, and follow-up on non-compliant brokers.
Protect household members
Family plans cover 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 monitor continuously and re-submit removals when your information reappears.
