For Criminal Defense Attorneys
Incoming Call...
Potential Client
"I was arrested last night for DUI. I need help right away. Can I speak with an attorney?"
AI Receptionist
"I understand this is urgent. I can schedule you for a free consultation tomorrow at 10 AM with Attorney Rodriguez. I'll send you the intake forms now."
✓ Consultation Booked • DUI Case
You're losing high-value clients every day you miss a call. Desperate prospects call at 2 AM, urgent cases slip through, and your team can't handle the volume. There's a better way.
Someone gets arrested at 2 AM, finds your firm online, and calls immediately. They get voicemail. By 8 AM when you check messages, they've already retained another attorney who answered.
While you're in court, six calls come in. DUI arrests, case status questions, consultation requests—you can't answer everything. Potential clients get frustrated waiting, and you lose high-value cases.
You block time for a consultation, prep the case file, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted billable hours and another lost client.
