At National Security Law Firm, our mission is simple: restore your reputation by removing harmful or unwanted content from the Internet. If you’re struggling with online news articles, mugshots, or other damaging content—especially following an arrest or dismissed charges—our experienced content removal lawyers can help. Below are answers to the most frequently asked questions we receive from clients just like you.
How Much Does Content Removal Cost?
Our pricing is simple, transparent, and risk-free. We charge a flat fee of $3,000 per article, but you only pay if we successfully remove or deindex the content. That means:
- No upfront risk
- No hidden fees
- Full refund if we’re not successful
This model aligns our success with yours. If we don’t get results, you don’t pay.
How Long Does Content Removal Take?
We begin working on your case right away. However, the exact timing depends heavily on third parties—publishers, editors, and Google. Some removals can happen in just a few days, while others may take the full six months provided in our contract.
Typical Timeline Range:
- Fastest cases: a few days to a couple of weeks
- Average cases: 1–3 months
- Complex cases: up to 6 months
We keep you informed throughout and continue pushing until every avenue is exhausted.
What Is the Process?
- Free Consultation: Schedule your consultation online. It’s 100% free and confidential.
- Sign Retainer & Make Payment: Once retained, we collect the fee and hold it in escrow.
- Complete Our Questionnaire: You’ll fill out a short form so we can understand your case in detail.
- Attorney Review: You’ll speak with one of our content removal lawyers to evaluate legal strategies.
- We Get to Work: We begin contacting websites, editors, platforms, and search engines on your behalf.
- Weekly Team Review: Our Content Removal Attorney Review Board—comprised of 3–5 senior lawyers—meets to brainstorm solutions and refine our strategy.
- Outcome: If the content is removed or deindexed, we finalize the matter. If it’s not removed within 6 months, we issue a full refund.
What Happens if You Can’t Remove the Article?
If we do not obtain a successful result (removal or deindexing) within six months, we refund the entire $3,000 fee for that article.
What Types of Content Can You Remove?
We’ve successfully removed or deindexed:
- Online arrest news articles
- Mugshot gallery entries
- Police blotter listings
- Defamatory blog posts
- News comments containing your name
- Content mentioning juvenile or expunged records
- Inaccurate or misleading court summaries
Do You Help Clients Nationwide?
Yes. Our content removal practice is nationwide, and we represent clients across all 50 states.
What Makes NSLF Different from Reputation Management Companies?
Unlike generic “reputation specialists,” we are licensed attorneys governed by strict professional rules. Our legal training allows us to:
- Negotiate diplomatically but forcefully
- Identify legal leverage like defamation, cyber harassment, or privacy violations
- Use advanced removal strategies like noindexing, anonymization, or DMCA takedowns
- Litigate where necessary, including filing court orders to force removal
Our team includes attorneys with experience in media law, privacy, internet governance, and negotiation—so you get more than just a PR push. You get true legal advocacy.
Will You Keep Me Updated?
Yes. We provide regular updates throughout your case. You’ll always know where things stand.
What Else Do I Need to Know?
- Don’t Google Your Name: Every time you click a harmful link, it boosts its visibility on search engines.
- Save Direct URLs: Keep the article URL handy and share it with us—but avoid clicking on the articles in search engine result pages
- We’re Strategic: We never send threatening letters that might backfire. Our diplomatic approach improves the likelihood of removal.
- You’re Not Alone: Many clients come to us feeling hopeless. Most are surprised by what we’re able to accomplish.
