New client calls during court
You are in front of a judge and the best case of the month is calling. It goes to voicemail, and the caller hires the firm that picked up.
AI that answers, books, and follows up for law firms.
Legal intake is a race. The person calling about a wreck, a custody fight, or a contract dispute calls three firms and hires the one that answers and books the consult. Small Arkansas firms lose that race every day to their own voicemail.
Where a law firm loses the week.
Intake details taken three times
The receptionist writes it, the paralegal re-enters it, the attorney asks it again. Clients notice, and conflicts checking starts late.
Consult no-shows with no reminder chain
A booked consultation without reminders is a coin flip. The no-show slot could have been sold twice.
Unqualified consults eating attorney hours
Wrong practice area, wrong county, no budget. Without intake screening, the attorney pays for the filter with their own calendar.
What to automate first.
In this order. Each one pays for the next, and none of them requires new staff.
01
24/7 intake answering
Every call answered, conflict-checking basics captured, and qualified callers booked into consultations by practice area and county.
02
Structured intake packets
Caller details, opposing party, and matter type captured once and delivered as a clean packet. Conflicts start before the consult, not after.
03
Consult reminder chains
Automatic SMS and email reminders with directions and document checklists. No-show rates drop, and the ones who cancel free the slot early.
04
Polite deflection of bad fits
Wrong practice area or jurisdiction gets a respectful referral script instead of attorney time. Your calendar fills with cases you actually take.
Learn it, or hand it to us.
The Saturday workshop teaches you to build and run the system yourself: $497 early bird, one afternoon, and you leave with a working prototype. If you would rather pay for the outcome, the AI front desk build is $2,500 plus $497 a month, and larger workflow builds run $1,500 to $5,000 setup.
Every engagement starts with a free 15-minute assessment call. See full services and pricing.
Questions law firms ask us.
What about confidentiality and attorney-client privilege?
The intake collects contact and matter basics, the same information your receptionist takes on a first call, and it states plainly that no attorney-client relationship is formed and no confidential detail should be shared yet. You approve every word of the script.
Can it screen by practice area and county?
Yes, that is the core of the build. Family law in Sebastian County gets one path, personal injury statewide gets another, and everything outside your practice list gets a referral message you write.
We already have a receptionist. Why add this?
Coverage, not replacement. Court days, lunch hours, sick days, and 6 PM callers are where intake leaks. The system takes those calls and hands your receptionist clean packets instead of voicemail transcriptions.
Can I learn to run this myself?
Yes. The Saturday workshop in Fort Smith is hands-on and no-code: you build your own AI receptionist in one afternoon and call it live before you leave. Seats are $497 early bird and credit toward any done-for-you build started within 60 days.
What if I want it built and managed for me?
That is the done-for-you path. Start with the free 15-minute assessment, and if the ROI is there we build, launch, and manage the system, including on-site work under the retainer for larger operations.
We also build for
Start with the free assessment.
Fifteen minutes, your business details, and a straight answer on whether automation pays for itself in your operation. If it does not, we will tell you that too.
