Criminal Defense Intake Forms & Client Questionnaires
When a criminal defense client walks in, the clock is already running. You need charges, arrest date, bail status, next court date, assigned judge, the ADA handling the case, and whether the client made any statements. You also need prior criminal history, potential witnesses, and a clear picture of what happened. A blank-slate intake form wastes time you do not have.
We have three forms built specifically for criminal practice, each designed by a licensed attorney admitted in New Jersey and New York. All three follow the standard 3-page litigation format and carry the CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE stamp.
Three Forms, Three Practice Areas
The Criminal Defense intake covers the full range of criminal matters: felonies, misdemeanors, indictable offenses, drug charges, weapons charges, assault, theft, fraud, sex offenses, and juvenile delinquency. The matter-specific checkboxes and fields are tailored to what a criminal defense attorney actually needs at file opening — charge severity, co-defendants, plea offer status, and discovery received.
The DUI/DWI Defense intake goes deeper on the details that make or break a drunk driving case. It captures BAC results, field sobriety test specifics (walk-and-turn, one-leg stand, HGN), breathalyzer vs. blood draw, refusal status, prior DUI/DWI history, and license suspension details. If your practice handles a lot of DWI work, this form pays for itself the first time you use it.
The Traffic Violations & DMV intake handles the less serious but high-volume end of things: speeding, reckless driving, suspended license, points accumulation, and DMV hearings. Different fields than a criminal case, different stakes, different workflow.
Intake vs. Questionnaire
The intake form is your internal document. Your paralegal or secretary fills it out during or after the consultation. It is not signed by the client. The client questionnaire is the companion document — written in plain language, with a signature block and authorization for representation. Both come in every set.
Pricing
Each form is $19.99 for the complete set (intake + questionnaire), $14.99 for intake only, or $9.99 for questionnaire only. All PDFs are fillable in Adobe Reader and password-protected against editing.
