# AI Receptionist for Law Firms

> Capture every client intake call. Wiserr OS answers, qualifies leads, and books consultations for law firms — 24/7, with attorney-grade professionalism.

## The Problem

Law firms lose clients before the first consultation. A potential personal injury client calls after an accident — your office is closed. They call the next firm. A family law prospect calls during court hours — nobody picks up. They call someone who answers.

Legal intake is time-sensitive and emotionally charged. Prospective clients are stressed, anxious, and making quick decisions. The firm that answers first and shows empathy wins the case.

Most small and mid-size firms don't have dedicated intake staff. Attorneys answer their own phones, paralegals double as receptionists, and after-hours calls go to voicemail — where 80% of them die.

## The Cost

The cost of missed calls in legal is severe:

- **Average case value** (personal injury): $5,000–$50,000+
- **Average case value** (family law): $3,000–$15,000
- **Intake calls during off-hours**: 35–45% of total volume
- **Prospective clients who don't leave voicemail**: 80%
- **Cost per legal lead** (Google Ads): $75–$300
- **Conversion rate within 5 minutes of first call**: 10x higher than after 1 hour

## The Solution

Wiserr OS gives your law firm an intake system that never misses a call, never sounds rushed, and never lets a qualified lead slip away.

When a prospective client calls, Wiserr answers with the professionalism your firm requires. It conducts a structured intake: What type of legal issue? When did it occur? Has the prospective client spoken with other attorneys? What's the timeline?

Wiserr understands legal practice areas — personal injury, family law, criminal defense, estate planning, business litigation — and asks intake questions appropriate to each. It doesn't give legal advice. It qualifies, captures, and books.

After the call, it sends a confirmation with consultation details and any documents the client should prepare. Your attorneys get a complete intake summary before the meeting starts.

Wiserr is configured for professional, empathetic communication appropriate for legal intake. It understands that callers are often in distress and responds with patience and care.

### Does it maintain attorney-client privilege?

Wiserr captures intake information securely. No call data is shared with third parties. All data is stored with enterprise-grade encryption.

### Can it distinguish practice areas?

Yes. Based on the caller's description, Wiserr routes to the appropriate practice area and asks relevant intake questions — different for PI, family law, estate planning, and criminal defense.
