The questions your team needs answered
Every wrongful arrest and false imprisonment intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Did a police officer, sheriff’s deputy, or other government officer arrest you or keep you from leaving (detain you)? | Confirms a government actor was involved in the detention, which is a threshold requirement before any civil rights claim can proceed. |
| Did this happen in the United States? | U.S. civil rights and constitutional claims generally require the conduct to have occurred within U.S. jurisdiction. |
| Did the arrest or detention happen within the last 3 years? | Recency directly affects whether the claim still falls within the statute of limitations. |
| Were you held against your will for more than a brief stop (for example, taken to a station, jailed, or kept in custody)? | Distinguishes a genuine custodial detention from a brief stop that likely wouldn't support a false imprisonment claim. |
| Do you believe the officer did not have a good reason to arrest or detain you (for example, mistaken identity or no real evidence)? | Lack of reasonable cause for the arrest is central to whether the detention was legally wrongful. |
| Did the criminal case end without a conviction (for example, charges dropped, dismissed, or you were found not guilty)? | A dismissal, acquittal, or dropped charges strengthens the claim, while a conviction generally undermines it. |
| Did you have harm from the arrest or detention (such as time in jail, injuries, lost wages, legal costs, or emotional distress)? | Documented harm such as jail time, injuries, or lost wages supports the damages portion of the claim. |
| Can you identify the law enforcement agency involved (for example, city police, county sheriff, state police, or a specific department)? | Identifying the agency helps route the case and assess which government entity may bear liability. |

Common wrongful arrest and false imprisonment lead scenarios
Mistaken identity, charges dismissed
Officer detained the wrong person, held them in custody, and the case was later dropped — the combination of no good cause and a dismissal pushes this straight to the top of the queue.
Arrest led to conviction
The person was taken into custody but the criminal case ended in a conviction, which weakens the false imprisonment claim even if other details are strong.
Detention happened over 3 years ago
The arrest occurred outside the recent timeframe the intake asks about, which flags a possible statute-of-limitations issue for the attorney to review before booking time.
Brief roadside stop, no custody
The person was stopped but never taken to a station or held beyond a short interaction, so the intake captures this as a lower-weight scenario rather than true false imprisonment.
Agency unknown, harm unclear
The prospective client can't yet identify which department was involved and hasn't described lost wages or injuries, giving the attorney a partial picture before the consultation.

Wrongful Arrest and False Imprisonment lead-intake FAQs
If the criminal case ended in a conviction, does the intake still send us the lead?
Yes — the intake still records the answer and routes the lead, but a conviction lowers the score relative to a dismissal or acquittal, so it surfaces as a weaker case rather than being hidden from you.
How does the intake handle arrests that happened years ago?
The intake asks whether the arrest happened within the last 3 years; older incidents are still submitted but scored lower so you can quickly spot potential statute-of-limitations problems before offering a consultation.
Does the prospective client need to know which police department was involved?
No — being able to name the specific agency adds to the score, but the intake doesn't require it, since many people only know they were arrested, not which department employed the officer.
What's the difference between a brief stop and false imprisonment in this intake?
The intake distinguishes a short stop from being taken to a station, jailed, or otherwise held in custody, since a genuine false imprisonment claim generally requires more than a momentary detention.
What documents should the intake collect before we take the call?
It's built to collect arrest or booking records and court disposition paperwork so you can see how the criminal matter concluded without asking the prospective client to explain it verbally first.
Can the intake flag arrests that happened outside the U.S.?
Yes — the intake asks whether the incident happened in the United States, since claims against foreign officers generally fall outside U.S. civil rights law and score lower accordingly.
