Replying from your business number
I was rear ended last week, do I have a case?
8:51 PMI am sorry that happened. I cannot give legal advice, but I can get you in front of an attorney who can. Were you seen by a doctor, and was a police report filed?
8:51 PMER the same night, yes there's a report
8:54 PMThat is exactly what helps. Consultations are free and run about 30 minutes. We have tomorrow 11 AM or Friday 2 PM. Would either work?
8:54 PMSample conversation
Legal clients are often in distress. If they call you at 6:00 PM and get voicemail, they don't wait, they call the next firm on the list.
The "Courtroom" Gap:
You are in a hearing or deposition. Your phone is off. That missed call was a $10,000 retainer walking away.
The "Unqualified" Drain:
You waste valuable billable hours screening leads who "just have a quick question" or can't afford your rates.
The Result:
You lose cases to "volume firms" simply because they answered the phone first.
An AI receptionist for a law firm answers every new-client call and text 24/7, runs your intake script for your practice area, collects the matter type, urgency and the names you need for a conflict check, and books the consultation into your intake blocks. It never gives legal advice, and you get a transcript and summary of every call. Plans start at $149 a month, live in one to three weeks.
Your AI runs your intake script, with the qualifying questions for your practice area: "Was there an injury?" "When is your court date?" "Is this a criminal or civil matter?" It never gives legal advice, and it filters out conflicts and poor fits before they reach your desk.
Capture clients nights and weekends. The AI syncs with your calendar to book consultations only during your approved "Intake Blocks," ensuring your deep-work time is protected.
The AI generates a detailed transcript and summary for every call. You see exactly what the potential client said before you call them back, giving you the upper hand in the consultation.
