AI Receptionist for Law Firms
Stop Losing Clients to Voicemail
LegalVoice answers every call to your firm instantly — scheduling consultations, routing urgent matters to attorneys, and handling intake so your staff can focus on billable work.
Common call problems
- Missed intake calls cost $10K–$50K each: Every prospective client who reaches voicemail calls your competitor instead. At average case values, a single missed intake call can cost your firm tens of thousands in billings.
- After-hours emergencies go to voicemail: Arrests happen at 2 AM. Custody emergencies occur on weekends. Court deadlines don't wait for Monday morning. Your clients need to reach someone 24/7.
- Paralegals spend 30+ hrs/week on phone intake: Your highest-value staff members are answering phones instead of doing billable work. Every hour spent on intake calls is an hour not spent on case preparation.
How LegalVoice helps
- AI Client Intake: Captures caller information, case type, urgency level, and conflict check data before routing to the right attorney.
- Smart Consultation Scheduling: Books initial consultations directly on attorney calendars with automatic conflict-of-interest pre-screening.
- Urgent Matter Routing: Detects keywords like "arrested," "restraining order," or "court tomorrow" and immediately routes to on-call attorneys.
- Encrypted Team Messaging: Attorney-client privilege-safe internal communications. No more case details shared over iMessage.
