Florida felony defense intake
Florida felony charge help — start your intake request
If you or a family member is facing a Florida felony allegation, arrest, or upcoming court date, you can send a short intake request at any hour. AnswerSignalApp reviews non-legal intake details and may connect you with a participating attorney lawfully permitted to practice law in Florida.
Submit your request 24/7. 24/7 refers to intake submission availability only. A participating lawyer's contact is not guaranteed, is not immediate, and no lawyer is standing by.
- Takes a few minutes · Submit 24/7, including nights and weekends.
- No attorney-client relationship is created by submission.
- Do not include SSNs, passwords, full financial account numbers, medical member IDs, or identity documents.
In plain English: AnswerSignalApp is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Submitting a request does not create an attorney-client relationship, and no lawyer is selected or retained merely by submitting the form.
Felony situations people submit
You do not need to know how a matter is classified. Describe what you were told, and note anything you are unsure about.
Arrest with a pending first court date
Someone was arrested and released, or bonded out, and paperwork shows a date coming up.
Still in custody
A family member is in a county jail and someone else is submitting the request on their behalf.
Notice to appear or summons
No arrest happened, but paperwork arrived directing an appearance in court.
Property and theft allegations
Allegations involving property, burglary, or theft amounts that were described to you as felony-level.
Drug allegations
Possession, quantity, or trafficking allegations following a stop, a search, or a warrant.
Violence allegations
Battery, assault, or weapon allegations, including matters with no-contact conditions.
Fraud and financial allegations
Allegations involving documents, accounts, cards, or business records.
Probation or community control
An alleged violation while already on supervision for another matter.
Something else entirely
Anything that does not fit above, including situations you were not given a clear name for.
Why people use AnswerSignalApp
No reviews, no rankings, no promises about outcomes. Just a clear, always-open way to send a Florida intake request and find out whether a participating lawyer may contact you.
Submit any time, 24/7
The intake form is open around the clock, including nights, weekends, and holidays. That is submission availability only — it is not a promise that a lawyer will contact you at those times.
No obligation to hire anyone
A request is a request for review. You are never committed to hiring a lawyer, and any fee terms would be set and agreed directly with a lawyer, not with us.
Administrative review, not legal judgment
We review non-legal intake factors such as completeness, general matter type, and Florida location. We do not assess legal merit, fault, guilt or innocence, case value, or outcomes.
Florida-only focus
This service is built for Florida matters and connects consumers only with participating lawyers lawfully permitted to practice law in Florida.
No reviews, results, or rankings
We publish no testimonials, star ratings, settlement figures, success rates, awards, or “best lawyer” claims — so nothing here can mislead you about a lawyer or an outcome.
Plain disclosures, not fine print
AnswerSignalApp is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We state that in plain language wherever you can start a request, not only in a footer.
What information helps an intake review
Only administrative facts. Nothing here is used to assess guilt, innocence, or how a matter might turn out.
- The Florida county where the arrest or citation happened
- The approximate date it happened
- Whether there is a court date, and roughly when
- Whether the person is currently in custody
- Whether any conditions were set, in general terms
- The general category you were told, if you were told one
- Whether a lawyer has already been appointed or hired
- Who you are, if you are submitting for someone else
- The best way and time to reach you

A participating lawyer may contact you
If a connection is made, a participating lawyer may contact you and will tell you where they are located. Contact is not guaranteed or immediate, and nothing obligates you to hire anyone.
Write less, not more
This is the one intake path where people are tempted to write a full account of what happened. Do not. Intake needs only a general description — the county, roughly when, whether there is a court date, and what category you were told. A detailed narrative is not required at intake, and a conversation with a lawyer, under that lawyer's own agreement with you, is the appropriate place for detail.
AnswerSignalApp is not a law firm, and submitting this form does not make anyone your lawyer. Nothing on this page is legal advice, and nothing here should be treated as an assessment of any allegation.
What we never do with a felony request
- We do not assess guilt, innocence, defenses, or legal merit.
- We do not discuss penalties, sentencing exposure, or likely outcome.
- We do not interpret charging documents, notices, or conditions.
- We do not state deadlines or tell you what to do before a court date.
- We do not publish reviews, ratings, results, or rankings of any lawyer.
- We do not promise that a request will be connected to anyone.
Submitting for someone in custody
Family members submit many of these requests. Use your own contact information, describe the situation in general terms, and say clearly that you are submitting for someone else. A participating lawyer, if one is connected, decides how to make contact and with whom. Any representation decision is made by the person involved or a legally authorized representative — not by us and not by the family member who submitted the form.
If no charge has been filed yet, the Florida criminal investigation intake page fits better. If the matter is supervision-related, use the probation violation page.
Already represented by a lawyer?
If you tell us you already have a lawyer for this matter, we do not route the matter to another participating lawyer, and we will not contact your current lawyer for you. Any questions about your current representation belong with your current lawyer.
Keep sensitive identifiers out of your request
Share only what is needed for an intake review. Please do not submit Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, medical record numbers, insurance member IDs, financial account numbers, passwords, or images of identity documents. If a participating lawyer needs additional detail, they can request it directly through their own secure process.

Florida felony intake FAQ
- Can I submit a felony intake request at any hour?
- Yes. The intake form accepts requests 24 hours a day, including nights, weekends, and holidays. That is submission availability only — no lawyer is standing by, and contact from a participating lawyer is neither guaranteed nor immediate.
- Is AnswerSignalApp a law firm?
- No. AnswerSignalApp is a consumer legal-intake and connection service operating toward Florida qualifying-provider standards, subject to ongoing compliance review. It is not a law firm, does not practice law, and does not provide legal advice.
- Does AnswerSignalApp decide guilt or innocence?
- No. We do not assess guilt, innocence, legal merit, defenses, likely penalties, or likely outcome. Review covers non-legal intake factors only: completeness, general matter type, and Florida location information.
- Does submitting create an attorney-client relationship?
- No. No attorney-client relationship is created by submitting the form, and no lawyer is selected or retained. That can only happen directly with a lawyer under their own agreement.
- Can someone submit on behalf of a family member who is in custody?
- Yes. A family member can submit a request describing the situation in general terms and provide their own contact details. Any decision about representation would still be made with the person involved or a legally authorized representative.
- I do not know what I am charged with yet. Can I still submit?
- Yes. You do not need a statute number, a case number, or a copy of any paperwork. Describe what you were told, in your own words, and note what you are unsure about.
- Can you tell me what my charge means or what penalty I face?
- No. We do not interpret charges, explain classifications, or discuss penalties, deadlines, or consequences. Those questions belong with a lawyer.
- Will my request definitely reach a Florida attorney?
- No. Requests are reviewed for possible connection. Some are not connected — for example when a request is incomplete, when no participating lawyer covers the matter type or region at the time, or when you say you are already represented.
- What should I leave out of my request?
- Leave out Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, case-file documents, financial account numbers, passwords, and images of identity documents. Also avoid writing a detailed account of the allegation itself — a general description is enough for intake.
