Every after-hours lead, captured cleanly.
Personal injury, family, criminal defense — these practices live or die on lead capture in the first hour. The agent answers the 11pm call, takes the intake, screens for conflicts, and books the consult — with a hard policy boundary that keeps it out of advice territory. Disclaimer delivered up front, in plain language.
Six things the intake call should do — none of them is "advise the caller".
Disclaimer up front
The agent identifies itself, states it's not an attorney, and explains the call is for intake only. Plain language, recorded, in the transcript.
Case-type triage
PI / family / criminal / employment / other. Routes the call into the right intake script. Declines or refers cases the firm doesn't handle.
Conflict screening
Collects parties, opposing counsel, case identifiers. Checks against your conflict list. Flags potential conflicts before any consultation is booked.
Intake-facts capture
Date of incident, location, injuries (PI), parties (family), charges (criminal). Stored verbatim, transcribed, time-stamped.
Consultation booking
Books a consult with the right attorney based on case type and availability. Sends a confirmation SMS with the calendar invite and intake-document link.
Statute-of-limitations sensitivity
Flags time-sensitive matters (recent accidents, approaching deadlines) for same-day or next-day priority booking, per your firm's rules.
First-hour response rate is the entire ballgame.
Personal-injury intake studies consistently show that response time within five minutes versus thirty minutes changes signing rate by a factor of two or more. After hours is where most firms leak.
- 80 inbound case-inquiry calls/mo
- ~40% land after hours or while staff is on another call
- Baseline signing rate on captured leads: 12%
- Average case value: $8,000 (mixed practice)
- Capture ~32 previously-leaking calls/mo
- ~4 additional signed cases (12% of recovered)
- +$32,000 expected case value
- Voice cost: ~$30/mo at typical volume
