Enforcement defense intake that captures the 30-day deadline up front
Cliont's enforcement defense intake asks whether a notice or citation has been received, confirms whether it touches a business or professional license, and flags any deadline inside the next 30 days — then requests the notice itself before the lead reaches your CRM.
The exact intake your enforcement defense leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Enforcement Defense — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified enforcement defense lead should tell you
Representation for a business, professional, or individual facing action from a government agency or regulator — a citation, licensing complaint, subpoena, or notice of proposed penalty — where the goal is to respond to, negotiate, or contest that action.

The questions your team needs answered
Every enforcement defense intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Have you received a notice, letter, citation, subpoena, or complaint from a government agency or regulator? | Confirming an actual notice, letter, citation, subpoena, or complaint was received turns a hypothetical inquiry into a real enforcement matter, which drives the largest share of the score. |
| Is the matter related to rules or licensing for your business, job, or professional license (not a personal family or criminal issue)? | This separates business or professional licensing matters, which the practice handles, from unrelated personal or criminal issues that should never reach a consultation slot. |
| Is the agency action happening in the United States or from a U.S. federal, state, or local agency? | Confirming the acting agency is a US federal, state, or local regulator screens out matters tied to foreign regulators that fall outside the practice's jurisdiction. |
| Are you the person or business named in the agency action, or someone authorized to act for them? | Verifying the submitter is the named party or authorized to act on their behalf prevents consultation time being spent with someone who can't legally retain the firm. |
| Is there a deadline coming up soon (within the next 30 days) to respond, appear, or provide documents? | A response or appearance deadline inside 30 days signals how quickly attorney attention is needed and should move the matter up the queue regardless of other factors. |
| Could the agency action lead to penalties like fines, loss or suspension of a license, a shutdown order, or other serious consequences? | Exposure to fines, license loss, a shutdown order, or other serious consequences separates high-stakes enforcement matters from minor administrative notices that may not need urgent representation. |

| Cliont capability | Enforcement Defense application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Combines the notice-received answer with the penalty-severity answer to flag matters facing fines, suspension, or shutdown as your highest priority before you ever return a call. |
| Document upload capture | Collects the actual notice, citation, or subpoena from the client during intake, so you can see the real deadline referenced in the agency's own letter, not just a self-reported estimate. |
| CRM routing rules | Only forwards leads that confirm the submitter is the named party or an authorized representative, keeping unauthorized third-party inquiries out of your active pipeline. |
| Guided video/text intake widget | Lets a business facing a licensing board complaint describe the agency, the citation, and the deadline in their own words before a consultation is ever scheduled. |
Common enforcement defense lead scenarios
License suspension threat, tight deadline
A licensed business or professional received a citation warning of suspension with a response due inside 30 days — the intake flags both the deadline and penalty severity as high priority.
Federal subpoena, no fixed deadline
A company received a subpoena from a federal agency but has no immediate deadline; the intake still scores it as valuable because the potential fines are significant.
Personal matter mistaken for licensing
A visitor is dealing with a personal criminal issue, not a business or professional licensing matter, so the intake flags this as outside the scope of enforcement defense.
Third-party submitting without authorization
A bookkeeper or assistant fills out the intake on behalf of a business without confirming they're authorized to act for the named party, which the intake surfaces before booking.
Foreign regulator, not a US agency
The action originates from a non-US regulator rather than a federal, state, or local US agency, which the intake screens as outside the firm's practice area.

Enforcement Defense lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake separate a licensing or regulatory matter from an unrelated personal legal issue?
One of the intake questions specifically asks whether the matter relates to rules or licensing for a business, job, or professional license rather than a personal, family, or criminal issue, so mismatched leads are visible before you offer a consultation.
What happens when a lead reports a deadline inside 30 days?
The intake asks whether a response, appearance, or document deadline falls within the next 30 days and weights that answer heavily, pushing time-sensitive matters toward the top of your queue.
Does the intake handle matters involving non-US regulators?
The intake confirms whether the agency action comes from a US federal, state, or local agency; matters tied to foreign regulators score lower since they typically fall outside the scope of enforcement defense representation.
What if the person filling out the intake isn't the one named in the agency action?
The intake asks whether the submitter is the named party or someone authorized to act for them, which surfaces authorization gaps before you spend consultation time on someone who can't actually retain the firm.
What documents does the intake collect before a lead reaches my CRM?
The intake is built to collect a copy of the notice, citation, subpoense, or complaint itself, so you can see the actual agency correspondence alongside the qualification answers.
How does the intake distinguish a serious penalty risk from a minor citation?
A dedicated question asks whether the agency action could lead to fines, license loss or suspension, a shutdown order, or other serious consequences, letting you triage high-stakes matters separately from routine notices.
