Consistent intake without crossing professional boundaries

Prospective clients want to know whether someone heard them. A configured intake can capture their contact information and a concise description in their own words, while reserving legal analysis, confidentiality decisions, and representation questions for the firm.

Prospective-client intake

Collect contact details and the caller’s high-level reason for contacting the firm using questions the firm approves.

Existing-client messages

Record a callback request without disclosing matter details or making commitments.

Administrative questions

Answer from configured office hours, location, appointment, and general firm information.

Appointment requests

Schedule an approved consultation slot where the firm has enabled calendar booking.

How to configure the call flow

1
Configure administrative firm information and approved intake language.
2
Define message, transfer, scheduling, and urgent-call rules.
3
Keep legal questions and case evaluation outside the automated workflow.
4
Review captured information under the firm’s own privacy, retention, and conflict-check procedures.

Questions law firms ask

Does the AI receptionist give legal advice?

No. It is for administrative call handling, intake, messages, scheduling, and routing based on firm-approved information.

Does a call create an attorney-client relationship?

No. The firm should configure clear language explaining that intake does not mean the firm has accepted a matter.

Can it schedule consultations?

Yes, when the firm enables booking and provides approved calendar availability.

Can it handle confidential case details?

Firms should minimize information collected, configure approved intake questions, and apply their own confidentiality, consent, retention, and conflict procedures.
