Your criminal defense clients see where their case stands, without calling you.
People facing charges are anxious, and they call often. Gides gives every client a private page with the current stage of their case and your latest update, in your firm's name and colours, in English or Spanish.
Why criminal defense firms use Gides
Court dates move and cases wait on discovery. A client who can check that their case is in pretrial motions, and read your note about the next hearing, doesn't need to call your office to find out.
Ready-made criminal defense stages
Start from these stages, then rename, reorder or switch off any of them. Clients see the stage names you choose.
- Intake & Retainer
- Arraignment
- Discovery & Investigation
- Pretrial Motions & Negotiations
- Trial
- Sentencing
- Case Closed
How it works
- Add your clients: type them in, or upload a spreadsheet. Each client gets a private access code.
- Update as you work: move a case to its next stage or add a note. It takes seconds.
- Clients check for themselves: day or night, on their phone, in English or Spanish. Fewer "any update?" calls.
Private to each client
Each client gets their own access code and sees their own case and nothing else: the current stage and the updates you write for them. Clients get an alert when their case moves, and there is no app to download or account to create.
No case management software needed
Gides is not another case management system to learn. If your firm runs on spreadsheets, email and a calendar, you can start the same day: type your clients in or upload a spreadsheet, and give each one their code.
Already use a case system? Gides Integrated connects it (Neos today; Filevine, Clio and others on request), so client pages and codes update by themselves.
