Consultation booking is a common requirement for criminal law firms. Non-urgent matters can be booked ahead of a court date.
People charged with an offence and their families want to call for urgent help or book a consultation.
Online booking lets a visitor choose a service, a time and, where it matters, a staff member, then confirm without a phone call.
Ask for the next court date so urgency is clear.
On top of the basics, a criminal law firm usually needs is this urgent? (urgent jobs should be routed to a phone call instead of the next free slot).
Embed the booking page from the system you already use, such as a practice or salon system.
Use the booking feature built into your website platform when your needs are simple.
Build a custom booking flow when bookings depend on rules a standard tool cannot handle.
The website hands over once the booking is confirmed in the booking system. Reminders and rescheduling run from that system.
Chooses the service or appointment type
Each service shows its length and what it includes before a time is picked.
Picks a staff member or any available
Only offer a choice of person when it changes the booking for the visitor.
Selects an available time
Availability comes from the real calendar so double bookings cannot happen.
Enters contact details and confirms
Ask only for what the appointment needs; extra fields reduce completed bookings.
Receives a confirmation
Show the booking on screen and send the same details by email or SMS.
| Field | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| Name | Identifies the person on the day. |
| Mobile number | Needed for reminders and changes. |
| Email address | Carries the confirmation and any preparation notes. |
| Is this urgent? | Urgent jobs should be routed to a phone call instead of the next free slot. |

Embedding keeps visitors on your site, while a link is quicker to set up and avoids layout issues. Both work; the choice depends on what your booking system supports and how much the booking page matters to your design.
Many booking systems can take a deposit at the time of booking. Whether yours can depends on the system and payment provider, which we confirm during scoping.
