Confirm it's truly a first offense before you consult
Every DUI first offense enquiry is asked whether this is their first charge, whether the case is pending, and whether the incident happened while driving — before you offer a consultation. Citation or arrest report uploads arrive attached to each lead.
The exact intake your dui first offense leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for DUI First Offense — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified dui first offense lead should tell you
A first-time DUI/DWI arrest or citation with no prior convictions, where the intake needs to confirm arrest status, first-offense history, case timing, and whether the person is actually seeking representation.

The questions your team needs answered
Every dui first offense intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Were you arrested or cited for DUI/DWI (driving under the influence) in the United States? | A "yes" flags a higher-value, higher-urgency lead you’ll want to reach first. |
| Is this your first DUI/DWI charge (you have not been convicted of DUI/DWI before)? | This is the field that actually determines whether the case belongs in your first-offense pipeline or should be redirected to DUI Multiple Offense. |
| Is your DUI/DWI case currently pending or within the last 12 months? | A stale or closed case changes what strategic options are still available, so timing matters for whether a consultation is worthwhile. |
| Did the DUI/DWI incident happen while you were driving (or in control of) a car or other vehicle? | A "yes" flags a higher-value, higher-urgency lead you’ll want to reach first. |
| Have you already been convicted or sentenced for this DUI/DWI charge? | A yes here means sentencing has likely already occurred, closing off the pre-trial defense work this intake is designed to filter for. |
| Did the incident involve a crash with serious injury or a death? | Injury or fatality facts push the matter toward a more complex charge that this first-offense intake isn't built to qualify. |
| Are you looking to hire a lawyer to help with this DUI/DWI charge? | Distinguishes someone actively deciding to hire from someone gathering information, which directly affects whether a consultation slot is warranted. |

Built for dui first offense workflows
| Cliont capability | DUI First Offense application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Arrest/citation status, first-offense history, pending case timing, driving control, and hiring intent all carry high weight, so a lead with all five answers checked scores as high priority automatically. |
| Automatic lead routing | A yes on prior conviction or on the injury/death question routes the enquiry away from this first-offense workflow, since those facts fit DUI Multiple Offense or DUI With Injury better. |
| Video intake widget | Lets a prospective client describe the traffic stop and arrest circumstances in their own words alongside the structured yes/no answers, giving you context before the first call. |
| Document capture | Collects the citation or arrest paperwork at intake so you're not chasing it down before deciding whether to schedule a consultation. |
Common dui first offense lead scenarios
Clean-record first arrest
Prospective client confirms this is their first DUI, the case is still pending, and they're actively looking to hire — the intake flags this as a strong fit for a consultation.
Repeat offender misreads first offense
Someone submits assuming they qualify but answers no to the first-offense question, signaling a prior conviction that shifts this toward DUI Multiple Offense rather than this practice area.
Already convicted or sentenced
The person answers yes to already being convicted, which the intake treats as lower fit since the window for pre-trial defense strategy has likely closed.
Crash involved injury or death
The intake catches a yes on the injury-or-death question and flags the case as needing a different practice area, since first-offense DUI intake isn't built for aggravated fact patterns.
Researching, not ready to hire
Case details look qualifying but the person answers no to actively seeking a lawyer, so the lead scores lower and can be nurtured instead of booked immediately.

DUI First Offense lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake confirm someone actually qualifies as a first offense?
The intake directly asks whether this is the person's first DUI/DWI charge with no prior conviction, so a no answer surfaces before you spend time on a case that belongs under DUI Multiple Offense instead.
What happens if the incident involved a crash with injury or death?
That question is a lower-fit signal for this intake, since a serious-injury or fatality case typically needs a different practice area like DUI With Injury rather than a standard first-offense consultation.
Does the intake check whether the case is still active?
Yes — it asks whether the case is pending or occurred within the last 12 months, which matters because a stale or resolved matter changes what kind of help someone actually needs.
What if the person already pled guilty or was sentenced?
That's flagged as a lower-fit answer, since a completed conviction usually means the pre-trial defense work this intake is built around no longer applies.
Can the intake tell if someone is just researching versus ready to hire?
Yes, one question directly asks if they're looking to hire a lawyer for this charge, which separates a genuine hiring lead from someone browsing for information.
What documents does the intake ask a prospective client to upload?
The intake is built to collect the arrest citation or ticket and any court date notice, so those documents are already attached when the lead lands in your CRM.
