The Problem

ESTATE PLANNING ATTORNEYS
LOSE CLIENTS DAILY

You're losing qualified clients every day when urgent calls go unanswered. Prospects reach out during family crises, no-shows waste your consultation slots, and your staff can't keep up with intake demands. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls During Critical Life Events

Someone's parent just passed away and they call at 7 PM needing urgent estate guidance. They get voicemail. By morning, they've already scheduled a consultation with a competitor who answered immediately.

The Cost
$8,500/client
Average estate planning case value lost

Your Staff Is Buried in Client Intake

While you're in a consultation, five more calls come in. Trust amendments, will updates, consultation requests—your paralegal can't screen them all. Prospects get frustrated on hold, and you lose high-value clients to faster firms.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per estate planning attorney

Consultations No-Show and You Never Recover

You block an hour, prepare their case materials, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up email that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted billable time and another lost client.
