A criminal defense website that answers at the hour the call comes
A criminal defense website earns the call by opening instantly on a phone, saying whether someone will answer right now, explaining in general terms what happens after an arrest for each kind of charge, and putting the number and the form on the first screen.
What usually goes wrong for criminal defense firms
- The person searching has just been released, or is a family member calling from a car, and the site takes seconds to load.
- Charges are listed as a menu of statute names with no explanation of what happens next.
- The site does not say whether calls are answered outside office hours.
- Consultation requests go to a form that nobody watches on a Saturday night.
The pages your site will carry
Each one written for your firm from the onboarding call, with consultation terms on every practice area page and the form on every page that needs it.
- Home
- DUI and DWI charges
- Drug charges
- Assault and domestic violence charges
- Federal charges
- What happens after an arrest
- Attorney bios with admissions
- Consultation request
Fee and retainer estimator for defense matters
The estimator shows an illustrative retainer for the categories of charge you publish, labeled as not a quote and not legal advice, so a family member calling at night knows the scale before they ring. Every estimate is captured into intake with the contact details, ready for the callback.
Illustrative only. Not a quote, not legal advice, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship. The firm sets every figure and approves every sentence.
Three ways to run it
Every plan carries the pages above, the estimator and the intake connection. Chambers adds the AI Engine that answers and books; Firmwide adds the Content Engine. The $797 build fee is invoiced only after launch.
| Plan | What it is | Monthly | Live in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Counsel | The website, fully managed | $137 / month | 7 days |
| Chambers | Everything, plus the AI Engine | $297 / month + usage | 10 days |
| Firmwide | Everything, plus the Content Engine | $747 / month | 15 days |
Questions from criminal defense firms
Can the site say we answer calls around the clock?
If you do. On the Chambers and Firmwide plans the AI receptionist answers every call, takes the details and books, so the statement is true at any hour. On Counsel the site states your real hours and the form goes straight to your intake CRM.
Do you write about specific charges?
Yes. One page per charge category you handle, describing the process in general terms: arrest, arraignment, discovery, hearings. Nothing on the page is advice about a particular case, and every page says so.
Can the site show prior results?
Only where your state's rules allow and you supply them with the required disclaimer. We never write or imply results.
How do you keep the site fast on a phone?
Static pages with almost no JavaScript, served from Cloudflare's edge, with a 90+ PageSpeed guarantee. The phone number and the form are visible on the first screen without scrolling.
