Miami-Dade & Broward · Criminal Defense

When someone is arrested at midnight, your firm answers.

Criminal cases start with a frightened phone call, usually from a parent, a spouse, or a friend, and usually at night. They call the first firm that picks up. We build bilingual AI intake for Miami criminal defense firms that aims to answer in under a minute, collects what an attorney needs before first appearance, and transfers urgent calls to the attorney on call.

We build the technology and the content. Your attorneys make every legal judgment and approve every word clients see. Nothing we deliver is legal advice. Se habla español.

The short answer

Aday Interactive, Inc. builds AI intake for criminal defense law firms in Miami-Dade and Broward. The agent answers arrest and charge inquiries in English and Spanish at any hour, collects the basics and every party name for your conflict check, and transfers urgent calls to the attorney on call. It never gives legal advice or predicts outcomes.

Matter types

A jail call and a sealing question need different first minutes.

Here is what people type into ChatGPT and Google for each kind of case, in English and Spanish, and what the intake agent does with them.

Someone was just arrested

What clients ask

"My son got arrested, what do I do?" · "arrestaron a mi esposo"

What the agent does

Set up to treat this as urgent at any hour. Collects the person's full name, date of birth, and where the caller believes they are held, then transfers the call live to the attorney on call, and if nobody picks up, texts them an urgent alert with the call summary. Your team moves fast because a first appearance generally happens within 24 hours of arrest (Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.130).

Felony charges

What clients ask

"Felony lawyer Miami" · "abogado penal para delito grave"

What the agent does

Collects the charge as the caller understands it, the case number if they have one, and any court date, then books the consult with the right attorney.

Drug charges

What clients ask

"Drug possession lawyer near me" · "cargo por posesión de drogas"

What the agent does

Collects the charge, the arrest date, and the next court date. It does not ask the caller to describe what happened.

Domestic violence charges

What clients ask

"Charged with domestic violence in Florida" · "me acusaron de violencia doméstica"

What the agent does

Collects the other person's name first, so your team can run the conflict check before the consult, since that person may also call your firm. It never takes or passes along messages for anyone else.

Sealing and expungement

What clients ask

"How to expunge a record in Florida" · "sellar mi récord criminal"

What the agent does

Collects the old case details and outcome, then books a consult. Eligibility for sealing or expunction (Fla. Stat. §§ 943.059 and 943.0585) is an attorney's call, so the agent never says whether someone qualifies.

Probation violations

What clients ask

"Violated probation, will I go to jail?" · "violé mi probatoria"

What the agent does

Collects the original case, the probation officer's name if known, and any warrant or hearing date, and marks the record for same-day attorney review.

What gets escalated to your team

The agent is set up to treat a recent arrest, anyone in custody, an active warrant, or a hearing coming up soon as urgent. It transfers the call live to the attorney on call, and if nobody picks up, texts them an urgent alert with the call summary, and tells the caller when to expect a call back.

Guardrails

The rules your intake has to live inside.

Every agent we build is fenced before it says a word. These are the lines that matter most in criminal defense work. Your ethics counsel reviews the full list during setup.

No predictions, no advice

The agent never says a case is weak, a charge will be dropped, or what sentence to expect. Florida Bar Rule 4-7.13 bars predicting results, and only your attorneys advise.

No case facts on the phone

Calls from jail are usually recorded, and family members can become witnesses. The agent collects logistics, not the story of what happened, and leaves that for the attorney.

Names first, for your conflict check

Co-defendants and alleged victims sometimes call the same firm. The agent collects every party name up front and keeps the call to logistics, so your team can run the conflict check before the consult.

No outreach to the arrested

Florida Bar Rule 4-7.18 limits soliciting prospective clients. The agent never contacts people pulled from arrest records. It answers people who reach out.

On every call and message, the agent names your firm, says it is a law firm, and identifies itself as an assistant, never an attorney.

    Care

Project work bills 50/25/25 on milestones. Text, email, and voice usage on a system we build is billed at cost, with no markup. Carrier registration for texting depends on carrier approval, so we never promise an activation date.

Who answers your phone when someone is arrested at 2 a.m.?

In 30 minutes we walk through how inquiries reach your firm today, where they leak, and what an intake agent would handle. Founder-led by Brandon Aday from our Coral Gables office.

Response time

Response time is a target, not a promise. Our AI intake agents aim to answer in under 60 seconds, and typically respond within one to three minutes. Actual timing depends on third-party voice, SMS, and network delivery, which we do not control. We measure the real number and report it in your dashboard rather than guarantee it. Speed also depends on correct account setup, carrier registration (A2P 10DLC), and your intake configuration.

FAQ

AI for Miami Criminal Defense Firms, Frequently Asked Questions

Can the agent tell a family member whether their relative will get bail?

No. Bond and release decisions depend on facts and on the judge, and only an attorney can speak to them. The agent collects the person's name, date of birth, and where they may be held, then transfers the call live to the attorney on call, and if nobody picks up, texts them an urgent alert with the call summary, so a lawyer can respond quickly.

What does the agent do when a call comes in at 3 a.m.?

It answers, and arrest calls are escalated. The agent answers in English or Spanish, confirms the basics, and transfers the call live to the attorney on call, and if nobody picks up, texts them an urgent alert with the call summary. The caller is told when to expect a call back. Your firm decides who is on call and in what order.

Does the agent ask callers what happened?

No. Jail calls are usually recorded, and a family member who hears the details can become a witness. The agent collects logistics such as names, charges, case numbers, and court dates. The facts of the case are for the attorney.

Will this help our firm show up when someone asks ChatGPT for a criminal lawyer in Miami?

It can make your firm easier to find and cite. We build English and Spanish practice-area pages that answer real questions, plus LegalService and Attorney schema. No one can guarantee a citation, and we never promise one. Read how AI search picks firms.

Can we use AI to call or text people who have not contacted our firm?

No, and we never build it that way. Florida Bar Rule 4-7.18 bars soliciting prospective clients by phone or real-time electronic contact, and the FCC ruled in 2024 (FCC 24-17) that an AI-generated voice counts as an artificial voice under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The agent answers people who reach out to your firm, and follows up only with people who asked to hear from you.

What does it cost?

Start free, then fixed steps. The Bar Compliance and AEO Audit is free. The Growth Systems Intensive is $1,950 for one day, and it credits in full toward Implementation if Implementation starts within 60 days. Implementation runs 90 days from $5,000 and scales with scope. After launch, the platform seat starts at $349 a month, with text, email, and voice usage billed at cost and optional hours on top. Project work bills 50/25/25 on milestones.
