Criminal Defense software built around the dates, records and paperwork of the work
A criminal defence file runs on clocks the client cannot see: speedy trial, discovery owed, a plea offer that expires and the immigration consequences of a plea. The workspace counts the clocks, compares each offer with the exposure and keeps what the prosecution owes.
Dates it keeps for you
Each of these is counted from a date your team types, placed in the matter calendar, and confirmed by the responsible attorney.
Speedy trial
The clock counts itself, with each exclusion recorded with its basis; court dates start their periods.
Plea-offer expiry
Each offer’s terms are rows; its expiry is calendared.
Disclosure owed
Brady, Giglio and Jencks material is tracked, and overdue or withheld favourable evidence fails the step.
Sentencing and supervision
Release conditions, supervision terms and violations are dated; record relief eligibility is computed.
What the matter holds
Typed records, not a narrative note: each fact is entered once and every calculation, form and document reads from it.
Charges as counts
Each count with its statutory range, enhancements, lesser offences and consequences; the exposure is a recorded calculation.
Release terms and custody credit
Each order’s conditions as rows; custody credit calculated.
Suppression issues
Each as a row linked to the evidence at stake.
Plea terms and Padilla advice
Each offer compared with the exposure; the immigration advice given is recorded per offer.
Sentencing guidelines
Computed from typed priors and cited guideline lines, bounded by the statutes, recorded and reviewed.
Prepared for you
Forms are the agency’s own PDF, filled from the record. Documents are prepared from the same rows for the attorney to edit.
The workspace, step by step
The order a matter moves through the criminal defense workspace.
- Charges
- Custody and release
- First appearance
- Speedy trial
- Disclosures and suppression
- Pleas
- Sentencing
- Supervision and relief
What it does not do
- Each rule and guideline table is reference data an attorney verifies; local practice differs and the platform does not know it unless entered.
- Rows that hold privileged analysis are visible only to the responsible attorney; a reviewed row goes stale when its source document changes.
How the legal content here is checked
This page describes the software; no attorney is named as its reviewer, so none is shown. Behind the criminal defense workspace, each deadline rule, limitation period and legal figure is stored with its citation and is recorded as verified only once a named attorney has confirmed it, with that attorney's name and the date; showing that record beside every rule on screen is still in progress. The coverage page counts how many are verified, by practice area and state.
What you can hold us to
Law Hired is practice software, not a law firm or legal-advice service
Every date and figure is counted from what the firm enters and verified by the responsible attorney
Law that changes is reference data with its citation, checked by an attorney before it is relied on
Availability is described separately from production verification
Questions firms ask
Does it count the speedy-trial clock?
Yes, with each exclusion and its basis recorded, for the attorney to review.
Can it compare a plea with trial exposure?
It computes the exposure from the counts and records each offer’s terms against it. The advice stays with the lawyer.
Does it help with sentencing guidelines?
It computes a range from typed priors and cited guideline lines, bounded by the statutes, and records it for review.
Is the privileged analysis protected?
Yes. Rows that can hold privileged analysis are withheld from non-reviewers and every change keeps a history.
Does Law Hired give criminal defense legal advice?
No. Law Hired is practice software. It records, calculates and prepares from what the firm enters, and the responsible attorney verifies every date, figure and document before anyone relies on it.
