Why criminal defense firms choose Centerfy

Criminal defense clients rarely call during business hours. Centerfy picks up the moment a crisis hits, qualifies the case and books the consultation before they call another attorney.

Always Reachable

AI answers every call and web inquiry instantly. That includes 2 AM, weekends and holidays, when arrests and emergencies actually happen.

Cases Pre-Qualified

AI gathers charge type, jurisdiction, custody status and court dates. Your attorneys get full intake notes, not just a name and number.

Consultations Booked Automatically

Qualified prospects land on your calendar with complete case details before your team makes a single callback.

Built for how criminal defense firms actually work

Every tool is designed to help you capture cases when they matter most: at the moment of crisis.

After-Hours Voice Intake

The AI voice agent answers every call professionally. It gathers case facts, assesses urgency and books consultations at any hour.

Case Qualification

AI captures charge type, jurisdiction, federal vs. state, custody status and upcoming court dates before routing to your attorneys.

Urgency Triage

“We were losing weekend arrest cases to whoever picked up the phone. Now every call gets answered instantly, the intake is done before Monday, and we've added five retained cases per month we were previously missing.”

AI tools for criminal defense attorneys

Criminal defense clients do not look for an attorney during business hours. An arrest happens at midnight. A grand jury notice arrives on a Friday afternoon. A loved one calls from jail on Saturday morning.

If your firm is not reachable the moment the crisis hits, you do not get the case. Most criminal defense firms are open forty hours a week. Arrests, warrants and calls from jail do not follow that schedule.

Frequently asked questions

My clients are in crisis and need a real person.

A person in crisis first needs to be heard and helped right away. The AI answers professionally, gathers critical information and books the consultation. What clients in crisis do not need is voicemail.

Criminal defense intake is too nuanced for AI.

Centerfy handles intake the way a trained paralegal gathers facts before an attorney reviews. The AI does the structured fact-gathering. The nuanced legal work starts after the lead is booked.

What if the case is an emergency?

Centerfy is set up with urgency flags. Cases involving someone in custody or an imminent court date go to immediate attorney review instead of the standard booking queue.
