CRIMINAL DEFENSE INTAKE

An AI receptionist built for criminal defense law firms.

Criminal defense calls can be urgent and time-sensitive. FirmVoice can answer immediately, gather the core details, and follow your escalation rules so important calls do not sit in voicemail.

Your intake. Your rules. Built around your practice.

A 10:00 p.m. arrest does not wait for office hours.

When someone is calling from a stressful situation, a fast response matters. Your intake process should know which calls can wait and which ones need immediate escalation.

The agent should know what matters for this kind of call.

A strong intake process asks the right questions without pretending to make legal judgments.

01

Charge or investigation type

02

Arrest or citation status

03

Court and jurisdiction

04

Upcoming hearing or deadline

05

Custody or release status

06

Existing attorney involvement

Not every call should have the same next step.

FirmVoice can follow configured rules for scheduling, transfer, escalation, and message capture based on the information gathered during the call.

  • Escalate arrests, imminent hearings, or other urgent matters under your rules
  • Handle collect-call or jail-related workflows only where your phone setup supports them
  • Book consultations for non-emergency matters
  • Route existing clients and family-member callers appropriately

Build the intake around your firm, then test it before launch.

What firms usually ask.

Can FirmVoice give criminal defense advice?

No. It can collect facts and follow your routing rules, but legal advice must come from the firm.

Can it identify urgent calls?

It can follow urgency criteria you define during onboarding and escalate according to those rules.

Can it handle calls at night?

Yes. After-hours coverage is one of the strongest use cases for criminal defense firms.

Can it book a consultation?

Yes, where supported and according to your scheduling rules.
