The questions your team needs answered
Every fraud and embezzlement intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you facing a fraud or embezzlement charge, investigation, arrest, or police contact in the United States? | Confirms an actual criminal-facing event exists (charge, investigation, arrest, or police contact) rather than a general question about fraud law. |
| Is this about something you are personally accused of doing (not just a friend, employee, or family member)? | Separates someone facing their own exposure from someone calling about a friend, employee, or family member's conduct, which is a very different intake and often not a fit for a paid consultation. |
| Is the case criminal (possible jail, probation, or a criminal record), not only a civil lawsuit or a business dispute? | Filters out civil fraud claims and business disputes that carry no jail or probation exposure and belong to a different practice area. |
| Did this happen within the last 10 years? | Flags conduct outside a 10-year window where statute-of-limitations or evidence-availability issues may change whether the firm can act. |
| Do you have an upcoming deadline soon (like a court date, arraignment, hearing, or a deadline to respond to charges) within the next 30 days? | A court date, arraignment, or response deadline inside 30 days signals the lead needs a same-day or next-day response, not a routine follow-up. |
| Do you know the county and state where the case is happening or where you were contacted about it? | Knowing the county and state confirms the case sits inside the firm's jurisdictional coverage before a consultation is scheduled. |
| Are you currently out of custody (not in jail right now)? | Custody status changes the logistics of how and when the firm can even meet with the prospective client. |

Built for fraud and embezzlement workflows
| Cliont capability | Fraud And Embezzlement application |
|---|---|
| Conditional scoring logic | Leads that answer no to being personally accused or no to the case being criminal are scored lower automatically, keeping employee-conduct calls and civil disputes from displacing real defense inquiries. |
| Deadline-based prioritization | A yes on the 30-day court date or arraignment question raises the lead's priority so it surfaces ahead of leads with no pending date. |
| Custody-status flag | The in-custody answer is captured as a distinct data point so staff can immediately see which leads need jail-access logistics handled before a consultation can even be scheduled. |
| Jurisdiction capture | The county and state answer lets the intake confirm the case falls inside the firm's practice area before a consultation slot is offered. |
Common fraud and embezzlement lead scenarios
Personally accused, court date near
The prospect is personally facing a criminal fraud charge with a hearing inside 30 days, which the intake flags for a fast callback instead of a routine queue.
Employer dispute, not personal charge
The person is calling about an employee or business partner's alleged conduct rather than their own, which the intake separates so it doesn't consume a paid consultation slot.
Arrested and currently in custody
The out-of-custody question comes back no, signaling time-sensitive logistics around jail access and bail that change how the firm needs to respond.
Old allegation resurfacing
The conduct in question happened more than 10 years ago, which the intake captures separately since statute-of-limitations and evidence issues shift the case's fit.
Early investigation, no charges filed
Police contact has happened but there's no confirmed court date or known county yet, which the intake still routes forward while marking it as pre-charge.

Fraud and Embezzlement lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake tell a personal criminal charge apart from a business or civil dispute?
Two separate yes/no questions confirm whether the person is personally accused (not an employee, friend, or family member) and whether the matter is criminal with possible jail or probation exposure, not just a civil claim. Leads that answer no to either are marked differently so they don't get treated like a criminal case referral.
Can the intake handle someone who was contacted by police but hasn't been formally charged yet?
Yes. The intake asks about charges, investigation, arrest, or police contact as a single qualifying event, so a pre-charge investigation still qualifies the lead even without a court date confirmed.
Does the intake ask where the case is being handled?
Yes, it asks whether the prospective client knows the county and state where the case is happening or where they were contacted, which matters for confirming venue coverage before booking a consultation.
What if the alleged conduct happened years ago?
The intake asks whether it happened within the last 10 years, which helps the firm weigh statute-of-limitations and evidence-availability questions before committing time to the case.
Will the intake flag someone who is currently in jail differently than someone who is out?
Yes, custody status is captured directly, since a lead who is in custody has different urgency and access logistics than one who is out and can attend a scheduled consultation.
How are leads with an imminent court date handled?
The intake asks about any deadline in the next 30 days, such as arraignment or a hearing, and that answer weighs heavily in the score so time-sensitive leads stand out from ones with no pending date.
