The questions your team needs answered
Every administrative hearings before alj intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is your issue about a government agency decision or action (federal, state, or local), not a private company or person? | Confirms the matter is genuinely a government-agency action rather than a private dispute outside an ALJ practice. |
| Have you received a written notice from an agency about a hearing, appeal, or “right to request a hearing”? | A written notice indicates a formal proceeding has actually started rather than a general question about a possible future one. |
| Is there an upcoming deadline (or has one passed in the last 60 days) to request a hearing or file an appeal? | An imminent or recently lapsed deadline signals how quickly the firm needs to act on the matter. |
| Is the hearing or appeal supposed to be decided by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) or a hearing officer? | Confirms the proceeding actually goes before an ALJ or hearing officer rather than a different forum the firm doesn't handle. |
| Are you the person or business named in the agency notice (or legally allowed to act for them)? | Establishes whether the caller has the standing to retain the firm for this specific matter. |
| Are you trying to challenge or defend something that affects you directly (like benefits, a license, a fine, a penalty, or a compliance order)? | Confirms the caller has a direct personal or business stake, not a third-party or curiosity question. |
| Do you know which agency is involved (for example, SSA, DMV, unemployment office, immigration agency, professional licensing board, or a state/federal department)? | Knowing the specific agency lets the lead be routed to the attorney with matching regulatory experience. |
| Do you want help preparing for the hearing or appeal (such as gathering evidence, filing paperwork, or speaking for you at the hearing)? | Indicates whether the prospective client needs full hearing representation or narrower help, shaping the scope of the engagement. |

Common administrative hearings before alj lead scenarios
Benefits denial with hearing deadline
A prospective client received a written denial notice from SSA or an unemployment office with a hearing deadline days away. The intake flags the tight deadline so the lead lands in your CRM as urgent, not stuck in a queue.
License suspension before ALJ
A licensed professional is named in a board notice with a hearing already scheduled before an ALJ, and wants full representation at the hearing. This combination of named-party, ALJ, and representation-request answers scores as high priority.
Compliance fine, deadline already passed
A business received a compliance order and fine, but the appeal deadline passed roughly 40 days ago. The intake still captures the lapsed deadline so you can quickly assess whether any exception or late-filing option applies.
Caller unsure which agency
Someone has a notice in hand but doesn't know which agency issued it or whether an ALJ will hear the matter. The intake records what they do know without blocking submission, letting you triage from partial information.
Third party inquiring, not named
A family member is asking on behalf of a relative facing an agency action but isn't authorized to act for them. The intake surfaces the standing gap up front instead of letting it surface mid-consultation.

Administrative Hearings Before ALJ lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake separate agency matters from private business disputes?
The first question asks whether the issue involves a government agency decision rather than a private company or person, so disputes outside your ALJ practice are visible before you ever offer a consultation.
Can the intake tell me if a hearing deadline is urgent?
Yes — the intake asks whether a deadline to request a hearing or file an appeal is upcoming or passed within the last 60 days, so time-sensitive matters are distinguishable from ones with more runway.
What if the prospective client doesn't know which agency sent the notice?
The intake still asks, but a 'no' here doesn't block submission — it just lowers the score slightly, which lets you decide whether to gather more information before booking.
Does the intake confirm the caller has standing to hire the firm?
It asks whether the caller is the person or business named in the agency notice, or legally authorized to act for them, so third-party inquiries without standing are flagged rather than treated the same as the actual party.
Will the intake distinguish full representation from limited appeal help?
The intake asks whether the prospective client wants help preparing for the hearing — gathering evidence, filing paperwork, or speaking on their behalf — versus just information, which helps you scope the engagement before the first call.
What happens if no written notice has been received yet?
The intake still asks about a written notice, and a 'no' answer scores lower than a 'yes' but doesn't disqualify the lead — useful for callers who are early in the process or expecting a notice.
