Terms of Use

These terms set the rules for using this website. By visiting any page, running a search, or reading content here, you agree to everything listed below. If you do not accept these conditions, leave the site and do not use it further.

NO FCRA USE. This privately run resource has no affiliation with any government body or court. Neither it nor its advertising partners offer services meant for credit checks, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant evaluation, or another use covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The purpose is to help visitors locate DeKalb County, Georgia court-docket and case-record resources. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site. We operate on our own with no ties to any government office or court. We do not store official dockets or court records, and we cannot pull dockets, change court dates, or file documents for anyone.

The resource points readers toward DeKalb's custodians, including the Clerk of Superior Court, the State and Magistrate Clerk of Courts, the other trial courts, Georgia Courts E-Access, and the DeKalb Odyssey route. Some linked search tools are operated by third parties.

2. Informational Use Only

Content is general information about how DeKalb County court dockets and records are reached. It is not the official docket, a court order, or legal advice. Use the material as a starting point, then verify any important detail with the clerk or court that holds the case.

3. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
  • Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool to:

  • Decide whether to hire or fire someone
  • Screen potential renters or housing applicants
  • Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
  • Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
  • Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules

If you need a background check for any of those purposes, use an FCRA-compliant screening company.

5. No Legal Advice

Nothing here is legal advice. The resource can describe a DeKalb County docket route, but it cannot say how a charge, order, filing deadline, or case event applies to a particular situation. Consult a licensed Georgia attorney for legal advice.

6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed

Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that:

  • The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
  • The site will stay up and running without interruptions
  • Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
  • Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate

Dockets change constantly - cases are filed, hearings are set, settings get reset, and matters are sealed, dismissed, or amended. We try to keep up, but gaps are unavoidable. Nothing on this site should be treated as an official statement from a court or clerk. Always verify a docket entry or court date with the court that holds the case before you rely on it.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

We link to clerk of court sites, trial court portals, statewide case-search systems, legal aid organizations, and outside search services across this site. Clicking one of those links moves you off our platform and onto one we have no control over. We are not responsible for their content, how they handle data, what they charge, or whether their site stays online. Check their terms before using them.

8. Intellectual Property

All text, graphics, logos, and code on this site belong to DeKalb County Court Docket or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or build on the material without written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages that come from using this site - including decisions made based on information found here or through any linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to hold us harmless from any claim, legal action, or demand that stems from how you used this site or from breaking these terms. That includes covering our legal fees and related costs.

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by Georgia law. Any dispute connected to use of this resource must be filed in a court located in Georgia, subject to applicable law.

12. Changes to These Terms

We can update these terms whenever we see fit. New terms go into effect the moment they appear on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you look up a case or docket for me?

No. We are a private reference site with no access to the court's docketing system. You can run a case search yourself or contact the clerk of court.

Can you change or confirm my court date?

No. Only the court can set, reset, or confirm a hearing. Check the court calendar and verify any date with the clerk of court.

Is a docket entry on a linked tool official?

No. Docket data on third-party tools may be incomplete or out of date. The official docket comes from the clerk of court that holds the case.
