Capture practice area and jurisdiction
Required: practice area (PI / family / criminal / business / estate / IP), jurisdiction (state, sometimes county), brief description of the matter, urgency.
Form template · Lawyer / case inquiry
Lawyer contact forms run case intake — practice area, case description, jurisdiction, urgency. Three minutes of intake by form saves a 30-minute conflict-check call.
Every template is free and fully editable in the drag-drop builder — swap fields, colors, and the button label before you publish.
No server, API route, or SDK — your Lawyer Contact Form posts straight to one endpoint.
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it reaches you.
It's plain HTML you own — paste the Lawyer Contact Form snippet, swap in your access key, and ship.
Copy and ship
HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

</p>How to add it
To add a Lawyer Contact Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.
Required: practice area (PI / family / criminal / business / estate / IP), jurisdiction (state, sometimes county), brief description of the matter, urgency.
Webhook the lead's name and opposing party (if known) to your conflict-check system or paralegal. Cleared leads schedule the consultation; conflicts get a referral letter.
Cleared leads get a Cal.com / Calendly link with a Stripe pre-pay for the consultation fee. Non-paying consults are an old model; modern firms charge $75-300 for the initial call.
What's included
Law firm intake is bottlenecked on conflict checks and practice-area mismatch. A PI firm that takes a family-law lead wastes everyone's time; a family-law firm that misses an urgent restraining-order case loses a client and possibly a person's safety. The form sorts on practice area, urgency, and a brief description — the intake paralegal can run a conflict check before the consultation call. Most firms charge for consultations now; the form lets non-conflicted, on-topic leads book and pay before the lawyer's calendar gets touched. Webhooks into Clio / MyCase / PracticePanther for conflict check + intake.

Where submissions go
Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and spam classifier filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.

Testimonials
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I replaced a Lambda + DynamoDB + SES contact form with six lines of HTML. It took eleven minutes, and the dashboard is better than what I was going to build.”
“We migrated 14 client sites off Formspree in a single weekend. The price is a third of what we paid, the API is more honest, and the spam filter actually works.”
“The webhook payload is signed, idempotent, and well-shaped. It reads like code from a competent team, not a CRUD app held together with duct tape.”
“I stopped reaching for Typeform on small marketing sites. splitforms covers 90% of the use case at none of the bloat.”
“I onboarded our whole agency in an afternoon. The MCP integration meant Cursor literally dropped the form straight into our client repos for us.”
“The free plan gave me 500 submissions before I paid a cent, and Pro is five dollars a month. I've spent more on coffee deciding which backend to use.”
“Spam went from forty junk entries a day to zero, with no reCAPTCHA puzzle ruining the form. The honeypot and time-trap just quietly do their job.”
“Point the form action at one endpoint and you're done. No SDK, no client library, no build step. This is how a form backend should feel.”
“Leads land in Slack the second someone submits, and a copy goes to Google Sheets for the sales team. I wired both up in under ten minutes.”
“I run a static Hugo site on a five-dollar VPS. splitforms gave it a real contact form without me standing up a single server.”
Questions
Strictly speaking, the privilege attaches when the attorney-client relationship forms — the form submission is pre-relationship, so it's confidential by professional duty but not yet privileged. Most firms include disclaimer language: 'submitting this form does not create an attorney-client relationship.' Standard practice.
Capture opposing party name on the form. Webhook to your conflict-check system. Cleared leads proceed; conflicts get a courteous referral. Skipping this step is a malpractice risk.
Yes — webhook the JSON to Zapier and into your practice management software. Lead lands as a prospect or matter, with intake data pre-filled.
Depends on practice area. PI firms still do free consults (contingency model). Family / business / estate increasingly charge $100-300 for the first consult — filters out tire-kickers and respects the lawyer's time. The form can route to a Stripe pre-pay link automatically.
