How mix-ups happen
Trellis clusters cases by name string, not verified identity. Two John Millers in the same county can end up cross-linked in search suggestions.
A client in Texas found a felony docket belonging to a different man who shared his name and birth year. Recruiters stopped returning calls within a week.
Documenting you are not the party
Collect government ID, proof of address during the case dates, and the incorrect Trellis URL. Compare docket addresses and middle initials line by line.
Courts rarely delete public filings for someone else's mistake, but aggregators sometimes split profiles when you show clear mismatch evidence.
What a successful correction looks like
We separated the Texas client's profile from the unrelated criminal matter, then cleared cached Google snippets that quoted the wrong case type.
