Juvenile offense intake that captures court dates and custody status

The questions your team needs answered
Every juvenile offenses intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is the person who needs help under 18 years old right now? | Confirming the person is currently under 18 determines whether this belongs in juvenile court at all versus adult criminal defense. |
| Is the case in the United States? | Jurisdiction outside the United States means juvenile procedure and your licensing won't apply, so this answer carries one of the strongest disqualifying weights in the catalog. |
| Has the minor been arrested, given a ticket/citation, or contacted by police or juvenile authorities about an offense? | Confirming an arrest, citation, or contact from police or juvenile authorities distinguishes an active legal matter from a general inquiry. |
| Is there a court date coming up or a deadline to respond (for example, a hearing, arraignment, or probation meeting)? | A pending court date or response deadline signals how quickly the case needs attention and shapes whether a consultation should be scheduled urgently. |
| Is the minor currently in juvenile detention or at risk of being held (for example, after an arrest or for a probation issue)? | Current or at-risk detention is the highest-stakes signal in the catalog, since custody status often drives the timeline for any response. |
| Does the minor already have a lawyer for this matter? | An existing lawyer is a lower-fit signal, since the family may already have representation on this specific matter. |
| Are you the minor, the minor’s parent/guardian, or someone authorized to help with the minor’s legal case? | Confirming the submitter is the minor, a parent/guardian, or someone authorized to act ensures you're speaking with someone who can legally engage counsel. |

Built for juvenile offenses workflows
| Cliont capability | Juvenile Offenses application |
|---|---|
| Conditional branching | Follow-up questions about detention risk and court deadlines only surface once the intake confirms an arrest, citation, or police contact has occurred. |
| Weighted lead scoring | Age under 18, US jurisdiction, arrest/citation status, an upcoming court date, and detention risk are the heaviest-weighted answers in the catalog, so cases with active deadlines or custody concerns score highest. |
| Document uploads | Citations, arrest paperwork, and court notices can be attached during intake so you have the underlying documents before the consultation, not just a verbal summary. |
| CRM routing with lead band | Cases that combine an active arrest, a near-term hearing, and no existing lawyer are sent to your CRM as high priority, while cases with an existing lawyer are routed but marked lower fit. |
Common juvenile offenses lead scenarios
Fresh arrest, court date pending
A minor was just cited or arrested and already has an arraignment or hearing on the calendar, with no lawyer retained yet. The intake surfaces the arrest, the deadline, and the lack of counsel together, so this reaches your CRM as time-sensitive.
Detention risk, parent inquiring
The minor is currently held or at risk of being held on a probation issue, and a parent or guardian is the one submitting the intake. This combination of custody status plus authorized submitter is captured explicitly rather than buried in free text.
Already retained other counsel
The minor already has a lawyer for this matter, which is a lower-fit signal in the catalog. The intake still captures the arrest and court details but flags the case differently so you're not offering a consultation on a matter someone else is already handling.
Case outside the United States
The offense occurred outside the US, which the catalog treats as a strong low-fit signal since juvenile court procedure and jurisdiction won't match your practice. This gets identified from a single answer rather than requiring a call to find out.
Concerned parent, no charges yet
A parent is asking about a minor who hasn't been arrested or cited and has no court date, just police contact or a school issue. The intake still records age, jurisdiction, and authorization, so you can see this is early-stage rather than an active case with a deadline.

Juvenile Offenses lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle a minor who already has a lawyer for this matter?
The catalog treats an existing lawyer as a lower-fit signal, so the case still comes through but is scored differently than a case with no representation. You can see at a glance whether this is a fresh matter or one already being handled elsewhere.
Does the intake ask directly whether the minor is currently detained?
Yes, one of the catalog questions asks specifically whether the minor is currently in juvenile detention or at risk of being held, for example after an arrest or over a probation issue. This is one of the highest-weighted signals in the scoring, since detention status often determines how quickly you need to respond.
Can a parent or guardian submit the intake instead of the minor?
Yes, the catalog includes a question confirming whether the person submitting is the minor, a parent/guardian, or someone otherwise authorized to act on the minor's behalf. This is captured as part of the intake rather than assumed.
What happens if there's no court date yet?
The intake still asks about an upcoming court date or response deadline, and a 'no' answer carries a lower weight than a 'yes' but doesn't disqualify the lead. It simply signals this case may be earlier-stage than one with an arraignment already scheduled.
Does the intake screen out cases that aren't in the United States?
Yes, jurisdiction is a direct catalog question, and a case outside the US carries a very low weight since juvenile procedure and your practice area typically won't match. This gets flagged from the answer itself rather than discovered on a call.
How does this stop me from offering a free consultation on a case I wouldn't take?
By combining age, arrest/citation status, court date, detention risk, existing representation, and jurisdiction into one score before the lead reaches your CRM, you can see whether a case fits your practice before booking time to discuss it.
