Transcript
- Agent
- Good evening, thanks for calling. Are you reaching out about a new matter, or are you an existing client?
- Caller
- New — I was in a car accident last week and I'm not sure what to do.
- Agent
- I'm sorry to hear that. I can take down the details so an attorney can follow up first thing. Was anyone injured, and have you spoken with an insurer yet?
- Caller
- I have some back pain. No, I haven't called anyone yet.
- Agent
- Understood — and I'd hold off on giving a recorded statement until you've spoken with the attorney. Can I get your name, the best number, and the date the accident happened?
- Caller
- Marcus Reed, 781-555-0177, it was last Tuesday.
- Agent
- Thank you, Marcus. I've logged a personal-injury intake and flagged it as time-sensitive. An attorney will call you back in the morning, and you'll get a text confirmation tonight.
- Caller
- That's a relief. Thank you.
We dial a live agent against your real business name on the call — not a slide deck.
The pain
Aged receivables over 90 days carry an estimated 60-80% chance of write-off. Most firms send a flat reminder, then nothing, then a small-claims threat that destroys the client relationship. There is no soft middle ground and the partner does not have time to invent one.
The system
A collections agent sends a graduated sequence — gentle nudge at day 30, payment-plan offer at day 60, partner-signed escalation at day 75 — all in your firm's voice. It detects "client unhappy" signals and escalates to a human before the relationship breaks. Firms typically lift collections an estimated 18-30% on aged buckets.
Legal operators who fix billing recovery usually tackle related leaks next, like intake every new client without a paralegal, draft first-pass legal documents in minutes, and contract review that catches what the junior missed. See the full Legal AI playbook for every workflow we ship for legal businesses.
