Where the calls get lost

The problems owners describe.

Attorneys are in court or in a meeting.

The people a new client is calling are not at the desk. The phone still rings. If nobody else can pick up, the call goes to voicemail.

A new client who hits voicemail tries the next firm.

A first call has no history behind it. The caller leaves a message, or they don't, and then they dial another firm.

After hours is the same unanswered call.

Evenings and weekends are when a new client has time to call. The firm is closed, and the call lands in the mailbox.

Overflow is a second missed call.

One line is already busy. The next new client does not wait on hold for someone who is in court. They get voicemail too.

Will callers know they are talking to AI?

What if it gets something wrong?

You can see the calls, and a person can step in at any time. You decide what should be passed to your team right away. We do not claim it never makes a mistake.

Do I keep my phone number?

Yes. The receptionist works with the phone number and calendar you already have. You do not need a new phone system.

Can I pause it in the off-season?

You can pause for up to 6 months and keep your number and settings, then pick up where you left off.

Does it give legal advice?

It doesn't give legal advice; legal questions go to the firm.

A name, a contact, the matter type, and a short summary. It does this after hours and when the line is already busy.

Where does a consult get booked?

Into Google Calendar or Outlook, in a slot the firm allowed. A follow-up goes out for the booked consult.

Is texting part of the setup?

Texting is available on request.
