[05] LAW FIRM FRONT DESK

Virtual law firm front desk. Replace traditional legal answering services.

What is a law firm answering service?

A law firm answering service is a professional phone service that answers calls on behalf of attorneys and legal practices when staff are unavailable—typically after hours, during court appearances, or when paralegals are busy with casework. Traditional legal answering services employ human operators who take messages and relay them to attorneys later. Modern AI-powered answering services like AgentZap go beyond message-taking—they qualify leads, perform conflict checks, conduct legal intake, and book consultations directly into your calendar in real-time.

Traditional Legal Answering Services:

  • Take messages only—you call back later
  • Generic scripts with no legal training
  • No conflict checking capability
  • Manual entry into your legal software
  • Per-call pricing ($2-8 per call)

AgentZap AI Legal Answering Service:

  • Books consultations directly during the call
  • Trained on legal terminology and practice areas
  • Automatic conflict of interest checking
  • Auto-syncs with Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther
  • $79-499/month—50-500 calls included

How does the AI receptionist handle legal intake calls for attorneys?

The AI receptionist conducts structured legal intake by gathering essential information: caller name and contact details, legal matter type (family, criminal, personal injury, etc.), opposing parties for conflict checking, case timeline and urgency, how they found your law firm, and preferred consultation times.
