Criminal Defense lead-intake FAQs

What does a criminal defense intake collect?

Each criminal defense template asks job-specific questions drawn from the selected service, then captures contact details and relevant documents. The resulting submission gives the team more context than a name-and-email contact form.

How are criminal defense leads scored?

Cliont weights answers that indicate scope, urgency, fit, and potential value. It sends the score with the visitor's answers so the team can prioritize stronger criminal defense opportunities without manually reviewing every raw submission first.

Can visitors try a criminal defense intake on a phone?

Yes. The guided intake is designed for mobile, tablet, and desktop browsers. Visitors can answer questions and attach the requested files from the device they already have with them.

Where can qualified criminal defense leads be sent?

Cliont can route qualified leads to email, SMS, Slack, common CRM and calendar tools, Zapier, webhooks, or an API workflow. Cliont handles lead intake and qualification; the connected practice or business system remains the source of record after handoff.
