Violent crimes intake that captures court dates and charges up front
Every submission captures the type of violent charge, whether the case is active in a U.S. court, and any arraignment or bail review date within 30 days, along with arrest paperwork, so you can tell a live felony matter from a curiosity call before it ties up your calendar.
The exact intake your violent crimes defense leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Violent Crimes Defense — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified violent crimes defense lead should tell you
Legal representation for clients facing charges or an active investigation for a violent offense such as assault, battery, robbery, or a similar crime, where the intake needs to establish who the accused is, what jurisdiction the case sits in, and how close the next court date is.

The questions your team needs answered
Every violent crimes defense intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you or someone you are calling for facing criminal charges or an investigation for a violent crime (such as assault, battery, robbery, or a similar offense)? | Confirms the lead actually involves a violent-crime charge or investigation rather than a different criminal matter, which is the baseline fit check for this subservice. |
| Is this a criminal case in the United States (not a civil dispute or a case in another country)? | Filters out foreign proceedings and civil disputes that fall outside a US criminal defense practice before staff time is spent on the call. |
| Are you the person accused, or are you calling on behalf of the accused person with their knowledge and permission? | Distinguishes a direct call from the accused versus a third party reaching out without confirmed authorization, which changes how the case should be engaged. |
| Did the incident happen within the last few years and is the case still active or pending? | An old or already-resolved incident is a very different lead than a case that's still active and moving through the system. |
| Do you have a court date, arraignment, hearing, or bail review coming up within the next 30 days? | A court date, arraignment, or bail review inside 30 days is the clearest signal that a consultation needs to happen quickly. |
| Are you ready to hire a criminal defense attorney to handle this case? | Readiness to hire separates someone actively seeking counsel now from someone still gathering information for later. |

Built for violent crimes defense workflows
| Cliont capability | Violent Crimes Defense application |
|---|---|
| Jurisdiction filtering | The US-case question is used to automatically deprioritize foreign or civil matters so they don't consume a consultation slot meant for an active US criminal case. |
| Urgency scoring | The recency of the incident and any court date within 30 days combine to push active, time-sensitive felony matters to the top of your queue ahead of stale inquiries. |
| Caller-relationship capture | The accused-vs-caller-on-their-behalf question lets you see immediately whether you're dealing with the client directly or a third party before you invest time returning the call. |
| CRM routing | Leads that clear the charge, jurisdiction, and permission checks are sent to your CRM with a score so your intake staff can prioritize active, pending cases over dormant ones. |
Common violent crimes defense lead scenarios
Arraignment inside 30 days
The accused is calling directly about a recent, active charge with a hearing already on the calendar, and answers ready-to-hire — this is the profile that should reach your inbox fastest.
Case pending outside the US
The matter is a foreign or civil proceeding rather than a US criminal case, so the jurisdiction question flags it before anyone books a consultation you can't take.
Family member calling without permission
A relative reaches out about someone else's charge but can't confirm the accused knows or has agreed to the call, which the intake treats differently from a direct or authorized inquiry.
Under investigation, no charges yet
The person hasn't been formally charged but believes they're under investigation, with no court date set — still worth a look, but scored lower on urgency than an active docket.
Old incident, not ready to hire
The alleged incident happened years ago and the caller isn't sure they want to retain counsel yet, which combines a stale-case answer with a not-ready-to-hire answer for a lower-priority follow-up.

Violent Crimes Defense lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle callers asking about a case outside the United States?
One of the six qualifying questions confirms the matter is a US criminal case rather than a civil dispute or foreign proceeding, so submissions outside that scope score low and won't land on your calendar as a consultation-ready lead.
What happens when someone calls on behalf of the accused instead of the accused calling themselves?
The intake asks directly whether the caller is the accused or is reaching out with that person's knowledge and permission, so you can see at a glance whether you're speaking with the client or an intermediary before you engage.
Does the intake tell me if there's a court date coming up?
Yes — it asks whether there's an arraignment, hearing, or bail review within the next 30 days, which is one of the strongest urgency signals in the scoring model for this subservice.
Can the intake tell the difference between an open investigation and formal charges?
The first question covers both being charged and being investigated for a violent offense, and the recency and pending-case questions then help distinguish an active matter from something already resolved.
What happens to leads who say they aren't ready to hire an attorney yet?
A 'not ready to hire' answer still contributes to the score but pulls it down relative to someone confirming they want to retain counsel now, so those leads can be routed to a slower follow-up track instead of an immediate consultation slot.
Does this intake cover related charges like domestic violence or homicide separately?
Domestic Violence Defense and Homicide and Manslaughter are separate subservices in the library with their own catalogs, so a firm handling multiple violent-crime categories can run distinct intakes for each rather than one blended form.
