Answering customer calls is an essential part of running a successful business. But who has the time for it? Chances are good that when your team is busy, those calls get sent straight to voicemail. Someone will check the messages and then return the calls later, right? Wrong.

Of course, that’s challenging to do when law offices are busier than ever. Outsourcing your needs is a viable solution, but you have a decision to make: should you choose a legal intake professional or hire a legal answering service?

The client intake process is crucial.

It’s also where you begin transforming a lead into a paying client. The problem is that inefficiencies in your intake process can cost you time and money while eroding trust. In this post, we’ll cover five best practices your firm must employ to improve the efficiency of your client intake process and build a thriving legal practice.

Law firms are busier than ever. Between the industry’s ongoing talent shortage to growing billable hour requirements, attorneys and their staff members are required to do more today, often with less time. That usually means little time to answer calls, which is a major issue because it means you’re probably missing inbound leads.

Fortunately, there are a lot of tools and resources out there today to help you with that.
