See the county, court status, and charge type before you consult
The intake asks whether the case is still open with an upcoming court date, whether it sits in state or federal criminal court, and whether the caller knows the county and state involved — plus a place to upload the arrest report or court summons — so you see the fact pattern before you offer a consultation.

The questions your team needs answered
Every gun and weapons charges intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you looking for a lawyer to defend you (or a family member) against a gun or weapons-related criminal charge? | Confirms this is a criminal defense inquiry (for the caller or a family member) rather than an unrelated legal question, which is the baseline gate for the entire intake. |
| Did the arrest, charges, or investigation happen in the United States? | A US jurisdiction filters out inquiries you have no authority to handle before you spend time reviewing the case. |
| Have you been arrested, charged, received a court summons, or been told you are under investigation for a weapons-related offense? | Distinguishes someone already arrested or charged from someone only told they're under investigation, which changes how urgently you need to respond. |
| Is your case currently open (not fully resolved), or do you have an upcoming court date? | An open case with a court date carries the heaviest weight in the catalog because it signals a live deadline you can't afford to miss. |
| Is the case in a state or federal criminal court (not only a civil lawsuit or a request to expunge a record)? | Confirms the matter is an active criminal prosecution rather than a civil suit or expungement request, which belongs to a different practice area entirely. |
| Do you know the county and state where the case is filed (or where the arrest happened)? | Knowing the county and state lets you confirm the case falls within a court and jurisdiction you actually practice in before booking time. |

Built for gun and weapons charges workflows
| Cliont capability | Gun And Weapons Charges application |
|---|---|
| Conditional question logic | Routes differently depending on whether the case is confirmed to be in state or federal criminal court, so federal firearms exposure gets flagged distinctly from a local carry or possession charge. |
| Automatic lead scoring | Weighs an open case with an upcoming court date more heavily than a resolved matter or expungement request, keeping active weapons prosecutions at the top of your queue. |
| CRM routing | Sends leads with confirmed charge status, court type, and county/state straight into your CRM so intake staff aren't re-asking basic case facts on the callback. |
| Document upload capture | Collects the arrest report, charging document, or court summons at intake so you can see the actual charge language before the consultation. |
Common gun and weapons charges lead scenarios
Felon-in-possession arrest, court date set
Caller confirms an open case with an upcoming court date in a specific county's state criminal court — the intake surfaces this as time-sensitive so it lands in front of you before the next hearing.
Federal firearms trafficking investigation
No arrest yet, but the caller confirms they've been told they're under investigation and the matter is federal — different exposure and different intake urgency than a local carry violation.
Out-of-state incident, jurisdiction unclear
Caller can't confirm the county or state where the arrest happened, which the intake flags as incomplete so you can follow up before scheduling time rather than qualifying blind.
Expungement request mistaken for defense
The case is already resolved and the caller only wants a record sealed, not a criminal defense — the intake catches that this isn't an open state or federal criminal matter and scores it accordingly.
Family member calling on someone's behalf
A parent or spouse is inquiring about a loved one's charge rather than their own — the intake still captures the same case details without assuming the caller is the defendant.

Gun and Weapons Charges lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake tell a state weapons charge apart from a federal firearms case?
One question directly asks whether the matter is in state or federal criminal court, which lets you flag federal firearms exposure separately since it carries different stakes, procedure, and often a different attorney on the case.
What happens if the caller doesn't know the county where the arrest happened?
That answer carries a lower weight than confirming an open case or the court type, so the lead still comes through but is marked as needing a quick follow-up to pin down jurisdiction before you commit consultation time.
Can the intake screen out expungement or civil requests that aren't criminal defense?
Yes — the question confirming the case sits in an active state or federal criminal court (not just a civil matter or expungement request) is weighted to score those inquiries lower, since they typically belong to a different practice area.
Does the intake distinguish someone under investigation from someone already charged?
It asks separately whether the person has been arrested, charged, or told they're under investigation, and whether the case is still open with a court date coming up, so you can see how far the matter has already progressed.
How does this handle overlap with drug or violent crimes cases?
Weapons charges often arrive alongside drug crimes or violent crimes defense inquiries; the intake still captures the weapons-specific questions on this page, and you can route related matters to those sibling subservices as needed.
What can a prospective client upload with their weapons charge inquiry?
The intake includes fields for the arrest report or booking sheet, the charging document, and any court summons already received, so you have the paper trail before the first call.
