New-client intake line for a law firm
Answers new-client calls, runs the firm's intake questions and books a first consult with the right lawyer.
The problem
People call a law firm when something has already gone wrong, often after hours or while every lawyer is in a meeting. If nobody picks up they ring the next firm, and that matter is gone.
How it works
- Answers every new-client call, day or night, in a voice that suits the firm
- Asks the intake questions the firm already uses for each practice area
- Checks the caller's name and the other party against existing clients before booking
- Books a first consult into the right lawyer's calendar
- Transfers anything urgent, like a court date tomorrow, to the on-call lawyer
- Never gives legal advice and says so plainly when asked
What it connects to
- CallerHi, sorry it's late. My ex has just told me they're moving to Brisbane with our daughter.
- AgentThanks for calling, that sounds stressful. I can get you in front of one of our family lawyers. Can I take your name and the best number for you?
- CallerSure, it's Rachel, on 021 555 0142.
- AgentThanks Rachel. Has anything been filed with the court yet, or is it still a conversation between the two of you?
- CallerJust a conversation. They want to go next month.
- AgentUnderstood. I can book you a first consult with a family lawyer tomorrow at 9.30. I'll email a confirmation with what to bring.
Illustrative conversation. Names, numbers and details are made up.
