The questions your team needs answered
Every awol or desertion defense intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you currently in the U.S. military (active duty, Reserve, or National Guard), or were you recently separated? | Confirms the person is actually subject to military jurisdiction, since AWOL and desertion charges only apply to current or recently separated servicemembers. |
| Are you being accused of being away without permission (AWOL) or desertion, or do you expect to be accused soon? | Distinguishes an active or looming charge from a hypothetical concern, which determines how quickly a consultation should be scheduled. |
| Have you missed a required duty, drill, or return date without an approved leave or written permission? | Establishes whether a factual basis for the absence exists at all, which is the core fact pattern of any AWOL or desertion case. |
| Have you been contacted by your unit, military police, or investigators about this absence? | Confirmed contact from the unit or investigators signals an active, moving case rather than a preemptive inquiry, raising urgency. |
| Is there a chance you could face military punishment (for example, non-judicial punishment or a court-martial) because of this situation? | Captures real exposure to non-judicial punishment or court-martial, which is one of the strongest indicators of how serious the matter is. |
| Did your absence happen within the last 2 years? | A recent absence is more likely to be actively pursued by command, while older absences may carry lower immediate risk or different procedural options. |
| Are you currently in the United States or able to speak with a U.S.-licensed military defense lawyer by phone or video soon? | Confirms whether the prospective client can realistically join a consultation soon, which matters for deployed or overseas servicemembers. |

Built for awol or desertion defense workflows
| Cliont capability | AWOL Or Desertion Defense application |
|---|---|
| Conditional branching | Follow-up questions about missed duty dates, unit or MP contact, and punishment exposure only surface once the initial military-status and accusation questions confirm relevance. |
| Weighted lead scoring | Confirmed MP or unit contact and punishment risk (weights of 8 and 9) push a lead's score higher than an anticipated accusation with no contact yet, so you see which enquiries need attention first. |
| Document upload capture | Prospective clients can attach orders, separation paperwork, or written notices from command before the consultation, so you review the paper trail before the call. |
| Direct CRM routing | Leads confirming active or recent military status, an active or anticipated accusation, and real punishment risk get pushed straight to your CRM instead of sitting in a shared inbox. |
Common awol or desertion defense lead scenarios
Active duty, MP already investigating
The servicemember has missed a return date and confirms unit or military police contact plus possible non-judicial punishment or court-martial — the intake weights this combination as top priority.
Anticipating charges, no contact yet
Someone expects to be accused soon but hasn't been formally contacted, so the intake still captures accusation risk and punishment exposure even before command acts.
Absence surfaced after two years
An older, unresolved absence resurfaces during a background check or reenlistment attempt; the intake weights this lower than a recent absence but still routes it for review.
Deployed or hard to reach quickly
The prospective client can't confirm availability for a phone or video consult soon, which the intake flags as a scheduling constraint separate from the merits of the case.

AWOL or Desertion Defense lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle someone who hasn't been formally accused yet?
The catalog asks separately whether an accusation has happened or is expected soon, so anticipatory cases still surface with meaningful weight instead of being filtered out for lacking a formal charge.
Does the intake screen for people who aren't currently or recently military?
Yes — the first question confirms active duty, Reserve, National Guard, or recent separation status, since that status is required for AWOL or desertion charges to apply at all.
What happens if the absence happened years ago?
The catalog asks whether the absence occurred within the last two years; older absences still get scored and routed, but with lower weight than a recent, active matter.
Can the intake tell me if military police or the unit have already been in contact?
Yes, that's a direct catalog question, and confirmed contact from a unit or investigators raises the lead's priority since it signals an active, moving case rather than a hypothetical one.
Will the intake flag whether someone is reachable for a consultation soon?
It asks whether the prospective client is in the U.S. or able to reach a licensed military defense lawyer by phone or video soon, which helps you plan scheduling around deployment or travel constraints.
How does punishment risk get factored into the lead score?
A separate question asks whether the person could face non-judicial punishment or court-martial, and that answer carries one of the higher weights in the scoring logic since it reflects real exposure.
