Fourteen years of one narrow specialty
RemoveMyMugshot.org is a Tampa firm that does one thing: gets published arrest records off the internet and out of search results. We are not a general marketing agency that also offers removals, and that focus is the whole argument for hiring us.

The record outlives the case, so somebody has to chase it
In 2012 the mugshot-publishing business was at its peak: dozens of sites scraping county feeds, republishing booking photographs beside a name and a charge, and charging the person in the photograph to take it down. Courts and legislatures have narrowed that practice since. The copies never went anywhere.
We started because the people affected had no realistic route through it. An attorney could clear the docket. Nobody was working the fifty separate publishers, aggregators, mirrors and search caches that had already copied the record — a job that is less about law than about knowing which of four grounds each site actually answers to, and following through for weeks.
Fourteen years of that has produced a case history: which publishers comply on request, which need a formal demand, which ignore both and have to be outranked instead. That history is what a client is buying. It is also why we quote a fixed price — we usually know what the work will take before we start it.
Four commitments
Discretion by default
Case files are encrypted, access is limited to the assigned team, and no client is ever named without written permission.
A fixed quote
The analysis measures the work, the quote follows it, and the number does not move once the campaign is running.
No upsell
You came for a removal. If you do not need monitoring or suppression, we will tell you so rather than sell it to you.
Honest timelines
Some publishers take a week and some take two months. We say which is which up front instead of promising days.
Who you will be dealing with
Alex Adekola — Founder
Alex founded RemoveMyMugshot.org in 2012 and still takes client calls himself — a detail that shows up in the reviews more often than anything about technique. Clients regularly note that he knew more about removing a booking photograph than the attorney who handled the case, which is less a claim about attorneys than about how specialised this work is.
Behind him is a small team handling filings, follow-up and monitoring, with over twenty years of combined experience in removals, SEO and reputation work. Small on purpose: every case has one person accountable for it.
Where we draw the line
We do not assist in the removal of any information associated with convicted sex offenders, sexual assault, fraud, larceny, theft by deception, or violent felonies. We have turned down work on this basis every year since 2012, and we will keep doing it. The public interest in some records is real; the difference between those and a dismissed public-intoxication charge from nine years ago is the entire premise of this firm.
