Common questions
What does an AI legal receptionist do?
An AI legal receptionist can answer configured inbound calls, identify the caller path, gather firm-approved intake details, offer consultation times, and apply transfer, callback, or staff-review rules while preserving a reviewable record.
Can an AI legal receptionist replace voicemail?
For configured after-hours, overflow, or broader coverage, LegalVoice can give callers a structured intake or another approved next step instead of asking them only to leave a message.
What happens when a caller asks for a person or needs human judgment?
LegalVoice follows the firm’s configured transfer, callback, or staff-review rules. A human request, distress, ambiguity, a legal question, or another approved trigger can move the conversation to staff with the available context attached.
Can the receptionist coordinate web intake, text messages, and email?
Yes, when those channels are configured. The phone intake can coordinate with website intake and approved SMS or email confirmations, forms, reminders, and follow-up while keeping the next action visible to staff.
What does the firm receive after an intake?
The configured handoff can include the transcript or website answers, structured intake fields, a summary, the disposition, scheduling or transfer results, callback ownership, and integration delivery status. Staff can review the source record instead of relying on an unstructured message.
Does LegalVoice work with Lead Docket and Filevine?
LegalVoice supports configuration-bound Lead Docket and Filevine workflows. The exact form, fields, lookup behavior, notes, tasks, attachments, write actions, and failure handling depend on the firm’s approved integration configuration.
Which languages can LegalVoice support?
Website intake currently supports English, Spanish, or an English/Spanish visitor choice. Live voice agents can use up to four configured language profiles selected from the supported voice catalog when compatible voices, reviewed scripts, disclosures, and fallback rules are in place.
Can we test LegalVoice before replacing our current workflow?
Yes. A firm can map its caller paths, run approved simulations, and begin with a limited boundary such as after-hours or overflow. Review the transcripts, fields, dispositions, bookings, callbacks, and integration states before expanding coverage.
Does LegalVoice give legal advice or decide whether the firm should take a case?
No. LegalVoice gathers information and executes firm-approved intake, scheduling, routing, and follow-up workflows. Legal advice, case evaluation, case value, and representation decisions remain with qualified firm staff.
