AI intake for criminal defense law firms
Porto learns the charge, the court and the next date, even when a family member writes in late at night, so your attorneys can call back prepared.
Barrett Defense Group
AI assistant
Hi, I’m the AI assistant for Barrett Defense Group. I can’t give legal advice, but I can get this to an attorney quickly. Are you asking for yourself or someone else?
For my brother. He was arrested Saturday for DUI in Travis County and got out this morning.
Custody status already covered
So it asks about the court date
Thank you. Did he receive paperwork with a court date, and has he spoken with any other attorney?
What Porto does for criminal defense law firms
Porto replaces the contact form on a criminal defense firm’s website with a short AI conversation. It learns the charge, the county, the next court date and whether the person is in custody, never giving legal advice, and sends your attorneys a brief before the first callback.
What Porto works out in the conversation
These are the topics, not a script. Porto asks only what it still needs, so a visitor who mentions their timeline in the first message never hears that question.
Charge
What the person is charged with, in plain words
Court
County, case number and the next hearing
Custody
Whether the person is held or released
Contact
Who is writing and how to reach the client
Other counsel
Whether another attorney is already on the case
The brief your team gets
Every conversation ends with a one page summary and a fit score, sent to the tools you connect. Your team reads it before the first call.

Questions from criminal defense law firms
Does it work overnight?
Yes. Arrests happen at all hours, and Porto collects the details so your attorney can call back first thing.
What if a family member is writing?
Porto asks who is writing and how to reach the client, and both appear in the brief.
Does Porto give legal advice?
No. It tells visitors that up front and leaves every question about the case to your attorneys.
