## AI front office for law firms

- Screens and qualifies new-client intake
- Books consultations
- Flags time-sensitive matters to the attorney

## Calls it handles

### New-client intake

Screens the caller, captures the matter and urgency, and books a consultation — the call that becomes a signed client.

### Existing client or case status

Takes a detailed message and routes it to the right person, without ever confirming whether someone is a client.

### Urgent matter

An arrest or a court date within 24 hours is flagged, the attorney is texted immediately, and a transfer is offered.

### After-hours & overflow

Answers nights, weekends, and the calls your front desk can't pick up — so a lead never reaches voicemail.

## Setup

1. **Paste your website** — We read your practice areas, hours, and intake details in seconds.
2. **Pick a voice** — Choose how intake sounds and review exactly what it will say.
3. **Forward your line** — Point your intake number at your new AI. No porting, no downtime.

## Frequently asked questions

### Will it give legal advice?

Never. It takes a detailed message and books a consultation. It won't answer legal questions, confirm whether someone is a client, or say anything that could create exposure for the firm.

### Can it handle an urgent matter like an arrest?

Yes — time-sensitive matters like an arrest or a court date within 24 hours are flagged, the attorney is texted immediately, and the caller can be offered a transfer.
