Get the exact URLs first
Search your full name in quotes, then your name plus the case caption, and copy every Justia address that comes back. You're about to paste these into a form, so copy the whole link rather than writing down a case number.
Read your own URL before you send it. Justia's block list is a public file, so if your full name sits inside the address, decide whether you want that trade before you file.
While you're looking, write down who else holds the first page of results. If CourtListener, UniCourt or the court's own portal outranks Justia on your name, blocking Justia alone moves nothing anyone will notice.
Send the request at support.justia.com
Go to support.justia.com and pick the category for blocking a Justia link from search engines. It names court dockets, judicial opinions, trademarks and patents, so you'll know you've got the right one. You get a field for the links you want blocked, a Comments box that's required, your name, your email, and a Send Request button.
Paste every URL you collected, one per line. In the Comments box, say the pages carry your name and you're asking for the search engine block. Then send it. There's no fee and no paid expedite.
Expect silence, and don't resend
Nobody can give you a date. Justia publishes no response time for the form, and it says in writing that it can't control how long the links take to come out of the search engines after the block goes on.
Justia's own language is that reasonable accommodation will be made upon written request, which isn't a promise. Silence is a normal outcome here, and it isn't a cue to send the request again.
Check the block yourself
Open the robots.txt file for the subdomain your own page sits on and look for a line matching your URL. A docket means dockets.justia.com/robots.txt; an opinion, a trademark or a patent means that subdomain's own file, and the docket file will never carry it. Checked on September 8, 2026, the docket file listed no blocked URLs at all, and an empty file isn't proof your own request failed.
Then search your name again in a few weeks, and again in a few months. A result still sitting there isn't proof you were ignored, and a block that went on once can come off later, so re-check yours instead of assuming it held.
If it doesn't move, the lever is at the courthouse
Justia points you there itself: if you want the information deleted, contact the court directly, or hire an attorney to petition the court to seal it. That's the only route that produces an actual deletion, and the work happens at the courthouse.
An expungement order doesn't automatically bind Justia. Send it to them once you have one, and don't treat the page as gone until you've looked at it yourself.
If the court won't seal it, there's no legal lever left to pull. No US law gets a truthful public court record taken down, so the work shifts to what people find above it.
What this never does
Nothing you send Justia seals your case or expunges it. The clerk's file stays exactly as it is, and every other site that already copied the record keeps its copy. You're moving one search result, and only that one.
Don't send Justia an FCRA dispute. That letter belongs at a background check company selling a report with your case in it.
