Bilingual intake for South Florida law firms

Bilingual Intake Forms · Flagship

The form asks for the other side’s name. In whichever language the client has.

A law firm intake form has one job a clinic’s never had: capture the opposing party before anyone books, so the conflict check runs before the attorney hears the facts. Ours does that in English and Spanish from one build, and the language a person answers in sets the language of everything after.

An English form, plus a translate button nobody has checked One build that publishes in English and Spanish together
A Spanish submission gets an English autoreply A Spanish submission gets Spanish everything, through to the retainer
The opposing party comes up in the consult The opposing party is a required field, so the conflict check runs first
The form goes to info@ and someone retypes it The form becomes a pipeline card and, on signing, a matter
No idea which question makes people quit Drop-off per field, so you can see where the form is too much

HOW IT WORKS

What happens between submit and screened?

  1. 1

    The form asks what a screening needs and no more. Who is writing and who the matter is about. The matter type. The opposing or adverse party. The date that matters (the accident, the arrest, the hearing). The fee arrangement they expect, how they found you, and the language they want.

  2. 2

    It publishes in English and Spanish from one build. Edit a question once and both versions change, so the two never drift apart.

  3. 3

    It embeds on the site you already have with one snippet: WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, or custom.

  4. 4

    On submit, the record is created and tagged with the language, the conflict-check fields go to whoever screens, the intake specialist for that language is notified, and the approved first reply goes out within a minute. That reply offers a time; it does not evaluate the case.

DETAILS

What is built into a bilingual intake form for a law firm?

Conditional logic: a car-accident inquiry and a citizenship inquiry get different questions
Texting consent captured with a timestamp, which is what a firm needs if a consent question ever comes up
A field for who is writing versus who the matter is about, because in this market the family often does the talking
Mobile-first, because most South Florida inquiries are typed on a phone, often at night
Routing to the intake specialist who handles that language, with an instant internal notification
Runs on encrypted infrastructure under a Data Processing Addendum between your firm and Aday Interactive, Inc.

BY VERTICAL

What does each practice area’s form ask for?

The form is the same build in every practice area. The fields are not. These are the ones each configuration captures before a consultation is booked.

Personal Injury

Date and location of the incident, injuries reported, treatment already sought, the insurance carrier, and the opposing party for a conflict check.

Immigration

Current status, country of origin, any filing deadline or hearing date, and prior applications.

Family Law

Matter type, the other party for a conflict check, whether children are involved, county of residence, and any existing order.

Criminal Defense

The charge, the arresting county, custody status, bond if it has been set, and the next court date.

SOUTH FLORIDA

Nearly nine in ten Miami-Dade County residents age five and older speak a language other than English at home, 88.0%, per the U.S. Census Bureau’s QuickFacts. A form that only exists in English is not a minor gap here. It is most of the market. The county does not publish a Spanish-specific figure, but the large majority of that non-English population is Spanish-speaking, which is why English and Spanish, not just English, is where a South Florida intake form has to start.

And the Spanish has to be right. Machine translation reads as foreign in Miami, and to the daughter filling out the form for her father it says the firm did not care enough to finish. Ours is written by bilingual people who live here, and reviewed against the Florida Bar’s rules the same way the English is.

FAQ

What firms ask about the form

Yes, after training, setup is self-serve by default and most firms make small changes themselves. If you would rather not touch it, Aday Interactive offers implementation as a separate, quoted engagement. Either way works.
