See case status and jurisdiction before the consultation
Ask whether the charge is still open, when the incident happened, and which state and county the case is in, then collect a copy of the citation or police report before the file ever reaches your CRM.

The questions your team needs answered
Every assault and battery intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you looking for a lawyer to defend you because you were accused, cited, arrested, or charged with assault or battery (or a similar offense)? | Confirms the inquiry is actually about being accused or charged with assault or battery, not a general legal question that doesn't fit the practice area. |
| Did this happen in the United States? | An incident outside the United States is close to disqualifying since most criminal defense attorneys cannot represent someone in a foreign jurisdiction. |
| Is your case still open (you have a court date coming up, are on bail/probation, or the case has not been closed)? | An open case with a pending court date, bail, or probation is far more urgent to act on than a matter that's already been resolved. |
| Did the incident happen within the last 2 years? | Incidents within the last two years are more likely to still be actionable, while older incidents may fall outside relevant timelines. |
| Have you already hired a lawyer for this exact case? | Someone already represented on this exact case is a lower-fit lead since the firm would be stepping into existing representation rather than taking on a new client. |
| Are you the person who is accused/charged (not asking only for someone else)? | Distinguishes a direct inquiry from the accused versus a third party asking on their behalf, since the accused's own intent to hire matters more for scoring. |
| Are you able to tell us the state and county (or city) where the case is being handled? | Knowing the state and county lets the firm confirm the case is within its jurisdiction before offering a consultation. |

Built for assault and battery workflows
| Cliont capability | Assault And Battery application |
|---|---|
| Automatic lead scoring | Weighs whether the charge is recent, the case is still open, and the caller is the accused, so a fresh open assault charge scores well above an old, closed, or third-party inquiry. |
| Jurisdiction capture | Records the state and county or city where the case is pending so it can be routed to the right attorney or office if the firm handles multiple jurisdictions. |
| Conflict and duplicate-representation flag | Surfaces a yes on already having a lawyer for this exact case so front-desk staff don't spend consult time on a matter someone else is already handling. |
| CRM routing | Sends qualified assault and battery inquiries, along with their case-open status and incident timing, straight into the CRM instead of a shared inbox. |
Common assault and battery lead scenarios
Newly charged, case still open
The caller was charged within the last two years, has an upcoming court date, and is the accused themselves — this combination pushes the score toward High Priority.
Already retained defense counsel
The intake flags a yes on already having a lawyer for this exact case, which is a lower-fit signal so it doesn't get treated the same as a fresh, unrepresented matter.
Case already closed or resolved
The person answers no to the case being open, which lowers urgency compared to an active matter with a pending court date or probation status.
Family member calling on someone's behalf
A parent or spouse fills out the intake but isn't the accused party, which the catalog weights lower than a submission from the charged individual directly.
Incident occurred outside the U.S.
The intake catches a no on the U.S.-jurisdiction question, a near-disqualifying signal that saves a consultation slot for a matter the attorney could actually take.

Assault and Battery lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle a call that's actually from a family member, not the accused?
The intake directly asks whether the person filling it out is the one accused or charged, so submissions from relatives or friends are visible and scored lower than direct inquiries from the defendant.
What happens if the person already has a lawyer for this same case?
That answer is a defined lower-fit signal in the scoring, so a lead who's already represented on this exact matter doesn't get prioritized the same way an unrepresented inquiry would.
Does the intake capture where the case is being handled?
Yes, it asks whether the person can provide the state and county or city where the case is pending, which matters since criminal defense is jurisdiction-specific.
Does it matter if the incident happened a long time ago?
The intake asks whether the incident occurred within the last two years; older incidents are weighted lower since statutes of limitations and case relevance vary.
Will the intake filter out incidents that happened outside the U.S.?
Yes, the intake confirms whether the incident happened in the United States, and a no answer is weighted near the disqualifying end since most criminal defense attorneys can't take foreign matters.
Can the intake tell me if the case is still active versus already closed?
It asks directly whether the case is open, meaning there's an upcoming court date, bail, or probation, versus already closed, which is one of the stronger weighted signals in the scoring.
