Frequently asked questions
Can I create different forms for different case types?
Yes. Create separate intake forms for felonies, misdemeanors, DUI, drug offenses, or any other criminal matter. Each form can have its own set of questions.
Can family members complete the form on behalf of someone in custody?
Yes. Share the intake link with family members or representatives who can provide initial case information while the defendant is in custody.
How does this help with urgent cases?
Get structured information immediately instead of chasing details over multiple phone calls. Intake forms capture everything needed for initial assessment.
Can I track court dates and deadlines?
Yes. Include court date fields in your intake form and track case status through the pipeline. Notes and activity timelines help you stay organized.
Is the information secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Criminal cases involve sensitive information, and we treat security seriously.
Can clients fill this out on mobile?
Yes. The intake form is fully responsive. Family members or clients can complete it from anywhere on any device.
Do I need integrations to use this?
No. Weavelyn Intake works standalone. Just create your form, share the link, and start receiving organized submissions.
Can I assign cases to different attorneys?
