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
A typical solo or small firm loses an estimated 25-40% of inbound leads at intake. The phone rings during depositions, the after-hours voicemail is a black hole, and the lead has called three other firms by morning. Even when you reach them, intake takes 30-45 minutes of associate or paralegal time.
The system
An intake agent picks up immediately, runs a structured triage (matter type, jurisdiction, urgency), checks the conflict database, captures the case facts, and books a paid consult on your calendar. By the time you see the file, it is fully scoped. Firms typically reclaim 6-10 attorney hours per week and convert an estimated 20-35% more leads.
Legal operators who fix client intake automation usually tackle related leaks next, like draft first-pass legal documents in minutes, contract review that catches what the junior missed, and stop losing billable hours to bad time capture.
