Inbound: the customer calls

Current clients put through to their file's assistant

A current client shouldn't have to explain who they are three times. She knows their number, finds the open file, and gets the message to the assistant who works it.

When it starts

A client with an open file calls about their matter.

What the agent does

Matches the caller to the file, takes a precise message, transfers what can't wait.

What your team gets

A message on the file with the question, the client's best times, and anything urgent flagged.

How it works

  1. Knows the caller

    By phone number and name, matched to their open file. With two files, she asks which one before going further.

  2. Checks who is asking

    She talks about a file only with the client and the people your firm lists on it, such as a spouse on a purchase.

  3. Shares what you allow

    Next court date, the date of the next meeting, whether documents arrived. Never anything about the other side or another client.

  4. Takes the exact message

    What they need, what they received, when they can talk. It goes on the file for the assistant, not to a general inbox.

  5. Transfers what's this week

    A hearing tomorrow, a closing on Friday, a mediation this week. She warm-transfers to that file's assistant with a short summary.

  6. Books the callback

    A time with the lawyer when the client wants to talk it through, from the lawyer's own calendar.

Example call

  1. CustomerHi, it's Lena Moreau. I got another letter from my ex's lawyer this morning.
  2. AI agentHi Lena. I have your family file with Ms. Calder and Priya. Did the letter come by email or by mail?
  3. CustomerEmail. It says they want a response by Friday.
  4. AI agentThanks. Could you forward it to Priya at the address on your last email? I'll put Friday on the message so she sees it first.
  5. CustomerSure. Can I talk to Ms. Calder about it?
  6. AI agentShe's in court today. I have a 20-minute call with her tomorrow at 2. Shall I book it?
  7. CustomerYes, please.

After the call: Priya sees a file message marked "response asked for by Friday", the forwarded letter arrives on the file, and Ms. Calder has tomorrow's 2:00 call with Lena in her calendar.

What your team gets

  • Messages saved on the client's file, not in a shared voicemail
  • Court dates and closings this week warm-transferred to the file's assistant
  • Callbacks booked in the lawyer's own calendar
  • Only the people listed on a file hear anything about it
  • Fewer interruptions for assistants during drafting
Set up with you: The team sets up a connection to your practice software for open files, contacts and key dates, and agrees with each lawyer what she may say about a file and which matters get a warm transfer.

Questions

How does she know it's really the client?

She matches the phone number and name to the file and can ask a question you choose, such as the file's street address, before saying anything about it.

Will she tell a client what the lawyer thinks?

No. She passes the question on and books the time with the lawyer.

What about calls from the other side?

She takes a message for the lawyer and says nothing about the file, the client or their plans.
