Having old court cases or legal records appear in Google search results can be damaging, even if the case is outdated, dismissed, or irrelevant. Whether it’s from The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Australian, The Courier-Mail, or Herald Sun, or an online legal database, negative legal content can affect your reputation. Reputation Station specialises in helping Australians remove, suppress, and manage online content to protect their image.

- News Media Coverage – Publications report on court cases, leaving articles permanently visible.
