The questions your team needs answered
Every homicide and manslaughter 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 homicide or manslaughter charge or investigation in the United States? | Confirms the inquiry is actually about defending a homicide or manslaughter matter rather than an unrelated legal question, before any other signal is scored. |
| Has your case already started (for example, you were arrested, questioned by police, served with papers, or told you are a suspect)? | Distinguishes a live case with an arrest or police contact from a general inquiry, which changes how quickly the firm needs to respond. |
| Is the case in a U.S. state or federal court (not outside the United States)? | Filters out matters proceeding in a foreign court system, which the firm cannot take regardless of how serious the charge is. |
| Do you know the state where the incident or investigation is happening? | Knowing the state pins down which court and rules apply, which most firms need before committing to a consultation. |
| Is there an upcoming deadline or court date within the next 30 days? | A court date or deadline inside 30 days signals the case can't wait for a standard callback queue. |
| Are you currently in custody (jail) or at risk of being arrested soon? | Custody status changes everything about next steps, from bail advocacy to how urgently the attorney needs to make contact. |
| Are you willing to speak with a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible (today or within the next 48 hours)? | Confirms the person is actually ready for immediate contact, so the firm isn't chasing someone who filled out the form just to gather information. |

Built for homicide and manslaughter workflows
| Cliont capability | Homicide And Manslaughter application |
|---|---|
| Weighted scoring engine | Custody status, whether the case has already started, and a court date inside 30 days are all weighted heavily, so a jailed client with an active arrest scores far above someone still deciding whether to hire counsel. |
| Guided qualification form | Walks the caller through case stage, jurisdiction, and custody status in sequence so your intake staff isn't the one asking whether someone has already been arrested. |
| CRM routing | Sends qualified homicide and manslaughter leads directly into your CRM with case-started and custody answers attached, instead of a raw phone message. |
| Document upload | Lets a client or family member attach arrest or charging paperwork at intake so the facts of the case stage don't rely on a rushed phone description. |
Common homicide and manslaughter lead scenarios
Client already in custody
The intake confirms the person is currently in jail and that the case has already started with an arrest, which pushes the lead toward immediate attorney attention rather than a routine callback.
Early-stage suspect, no arrest yet
Someone reports being questioned or told they're a suspect but hasn't been arrested and has no court date, so the intake still flags it as high-value but without the same time pressure.
Family member calling on someone's behalf
A relative starts the intake but isn't certain which state the incident happened in, so the form captures what's known and leaves the state field open for the attorney to confirm directly.
Case outside U.S. jurisdiction
The intake reveals the matter is being handled in a foreign court rather than a U.S. state or federal court, which the scoring logic treats very differently from a domestic case.
Court date inside 30 days
The person confirms an upcoming court date within the next month and says they're willing to speak with a lawyer within 48 hours, combining two of the strongest urgency signals in the intake.

Homicide and Manslaughter lead-intake FAQs
What if the caller isn't sure whether they're being charged with homicide or a lesser offense?
The intake starts by confirming they're seeking defense specifically against a homicide or manslaughter charge or investigation, so ambiguous or unrelated matters get filtered before they reach your calendar.
How does the intake handle a case that's happening outside the United States?
One of the questions confirms the case is in a U.S. state or federal court; a 'no' answer is weighted very low, which keeps foreign matters from being scored as strong leads.
Can the intake tell me if someone is currently in custody before I call them back?
Yes — the form asks directly whether the person is in jail or at risk of imminent arrest, so you know custody status before your team returns the call.
How does the intake flag a lead with a court date coming up fast?
It asks whether there's a court date or deadline within the next 30 days, and that answer carries significant weight in the score so time-sensitive matters stand out from ones with no active timeline.
What happens if a caller doesn't know which state the case is in?
The intake still records the answer as unknown rather than blocking submission, so you can see the gap and follow up to pin down jurisdiction yourself.
Does the intake check whether someone is ready to talk right away?
It asks if they're willing to speak with a criminal defense lawyer within 48 hours, which helps you separate leads ready for immediate contact from ones just gathering information.
