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)

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. All information is logged in your CRM and the AI schedules consultations based on attorney availability using our appointment scheduling for attorneys feature.

Traditional legal answering services charge per call ($2-8 per call), only take messages, use generic scripts without legal training, and operate limited hours. An AI receptionist for lawyers like AgentZap starts at just $79/month with 50-500 calls included, books consultations directly into your calendar, performs automatic conflict checking, conducts structured legal intake, understands legal terminology and practice areas, integrates with Clio and other legal software, and operates 24/7/365.
