Post-trial motions intake that captures the judgment date up front
The intake confirms whether a final judgment or sentence has been entered, when it was entered, and whether the judgment order or case number is on hand — so you know if the post-trial deadline is still open before you book a consultation.
The exact intake your post-trial motions leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Post-Trial Motions — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified post-trial motions lead should tell you
Post-trial motions ask the trial court to reconsider, amend, or vacate a judgment or sentence after a verdict is entered but before any appeal is filed — qualifying the lead means knowing whether a final judgment exists, when it was entered, and whether the window to move is still open.

The questions your team needs answered
Every post-trial motions intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Did you already have a trial or final court hearing that ended with a decision or judgment? | Confirms a trial actually concluded, which is the baseline fact separating a post-trial motion candidate from someone still awaiting a hearing. |
| Was that decision made by a U.S. court (state or federal)? | A decision from outside the U.S. state or federal court system isn't a fit for domestic post-trial motion practice. |
| Are you looking to challenge or change the result (for example, ask the judge to change the decision or order a new trial)? | Separates someone seeking a post-trial motion from someone who actually wants a straight appeal, which routes to a different sibling service. |
| Has the judge entered a final judgment or sentence in your case? | Post-trial motions can only be filed once a final judgment or sentence exists, so this checks whether the matter is actually ripe. |
| Did the judgment or sentence happen within the last 60 days? | Post-trial motion deadlines are typically short, so how recently the judgment was entered directly signals whether the filing window is still open. |
| Do you have the case number or court papers (such as the judgment, verdict, or sentencing order) available? | Having the case number or court papers on hand tells the firm whether the record needed to evaluate the motion is actually available. |
| Are you the person involved in the case (or the legal representative for someone who is)? | Confirms the intake is being completed by the actual litigant or their authorized representative rather than an unrelated third party. |

Built for post-trial motions workflows
| Cliont capability | Post-Trial Motions application |
|---|---|
| Conditional question branching | If there was no trial or final decision, the intake doesn't waste time asking about challenging the result or judgment dates — it short-circuits toward a lower-priority outcome. |
| Deadline-aware scoring | Because post-trial motion deadlines are typically measured in days, not months, the intake weights whether the judgment happened within the last 60 days heavily in the final score. |
| Document checklist at intake | Prospective clients are asked upfront whether they have the case number, judgment, verdict, or sentencing order, so the attorney doesn't take a consultation without the record in hand. |
| Standing verification | The intake confirms whether the submitter is the actual litigant or an authorized legal representative before the lead is treated as a real prospective client. |
Common post-trial motions lead scenarios
Judgment entered within 60 days
Trial concluded, a final judgment or sentence has been entered, and it happened recently — the intake flags this as time-sensitive since post-trial deadlines are short.
Judgment entered months ago
A final judgment exists but it was entered well outside the 60-day window, so the motion deadline has likely already passed and the lead scores lower despite otherwise having a real case.
Verdict without final judgment
The trial ended but the judge has not yet entered a final judgment or sentence — a post-trial motion isn't ripe yet, so the intake routes this differently than a live post-judgment matter.
Non-party or unclear standing
The person submitting the intake isn't the litigant and isn't identified as an authorized legal representative, which lowers confidence the firm can act on the matter at all.
Decision from outside U.S. courts
The underlying decision came from a court outside the U.S. system, which the intake surfaces early so it isn't mistaken for a domestic post-trial motion matter.

Post-Trial Motions lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake know whether a post-trial motion deadline is still open?
It asks whether a final judgment or sentence has been entered and whether that happened within the last 60 days, which together signal whether the filing window is likely still live.
What if the prospective client only has a verdict, not a final judgment?
The intake separately asks whether a trial ended in a decision and whether the judge has since entered a final judgment or sentence, so it distinguishes a completed trial from an entered judgment.
Does the intake check whether the case was decided in a U.S. court?
Yes, it confirms the decision came from a state or federal U.S. court before treating the matter as a fit for post-trial motion practice.
How does the intake handle someone filing on behalf of a family member?
It asks whether the submitter is the person involved in the case or their legal representative, so submissions from unrelated third parties are flagged rather than treated as the client.
What documents does the intake ask for before a consultation?
It asks whether the case number or court papers — such as the judgment, verdict, or sentencing order — are available, so the attorney isn't scheduling time without the underlying record.
Can the intake tell a post-trial motion apart from a straight appeal?
It asks specifically whether the person wants to challenge or change the result at the trial court level, which separates a post-trial motion inquiry from an appellate filing that belongs on a different sibling intake.
