Criminal Defense AI Prompts for Lawyers

12 prompts built for attorneys: motions, plea agreements and sentencing memoranda. Every prompt ships with anti-hallucination safeguards and works with Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini.

Claude Prompt: Criminal Case Intake and Charge Assessment Memo

Turns the charging document, arrest report and intake notes into an internal memo: each charge with elements from statute text you paste, the facts alleged for each element and their source, custody status, immediate tasks and client questions.

Claude Prompt: Police Report and Discovery Inconsistency Review

Compares police reports, supplemental reports, witness statements and any transcript: one timeline with every time stamp and source, each inconsistency quoted side by side, facts asserted with no stated basis of knowledge, items referred to but not produced, and follow-up discovery to request.

Body-Camera and Interview Transcript Timeline Summary Prompt

Converts a body-camera or interview transcript into a neutral, time-stamped chronology: who said what, quoted, moments to review tagged without any legal conclusion, time-stamp gaps counted and inaudible passages listed.

Claude Prompt: Motion to Suppress Outline for Criminal Defense

Builds a suppression motion outline from the record: the evidence at issue, the sequence of police conduct with quotes and time stamps, each ground with the authority you paste or an authority-needed marker, the prosecution's likely facts, hearing witnesses and exhibits, and proposed findings.

Discovery Demand Letter to the Prosecutor in a Criminal Case Prompt

Drafts the discovery demand letter to the prosecutor: an inventory of what you received, the items the reports refer to but the prosecution has not produced, specific requests tied to those references and the legal basis only as you paste it. Attorney-only notes come first and the letter follows.

Pretrial Release or Bond Reduction Motion Outline Prompt

Outlines a motion for release or bond reduction: the current conditions, the release factors exactly as the statute or rule text you paste states them, the documented facts for each factor with sources, proposed conditions, and documents and witnesses to bring. Nothing on the alleged offense beyond the charging document.

Claude Prompt: Plea Offer vs. Trial Decision Memo for Defense Counsel

Builds an internal memo comparing a plea offer with trial, using only the offer, the statute or guideline text and the evidence assessment you paste. Collateral consequences come back as questions with an authority-needed marker, and the model predicts no conviction odds and no sentence.

Plea Offer Letter to the Client in Plain English, With Decision Block

Drafts the letter that conveys a plea offer to the client for decision. The offer is restated in plain English, the alternatives are in your words, unknowns are listed, and a signature block records the client's decision. No pressure, no prediction and no legal consequence from memory.

Claude Prompt: Police Officer Cross-Examination Outline From the Record

Builds a cross-examination outline for a police witness from the officer's reports, prior testimony and the recordings transcript. Leading, one-fact questions, impeachment chapters built on quoted inconsistencies, and omissions only where the documents show them.

Sentencing Mitigation Memorandum Outline From the Client's Records

Outlines a sentencing memorandum for the defense from the records, treatment letters and character letters you paste. Each mitigating fact carries its source, the sentence requested is yours, and the sentencing factors appear only as the pasted text states them.

Criminal Defense First Client Interview Topics Checklist

Prepares your first client interview from the charging document and the reports in hand. Topics are grouped by subject with neutral open-ended questions, documents and contacts to request, and matters you must explain yourself, with every answer box left empty.

Record Sealing and Expungement Eligibility Checklist (Pasted Statute Only)

Checks sealing or expungement eligibility strictly against the statute text you paste: each condition quoted, the matching record fact with its source, waiting periods computed from supplied dates, disqualifying entries and missing records. With no statute pasted it concludes nothing.
