Legal calls don't wait for business hours.

Calls come in when you're in court, meeting with clients, or deep in case preparation. We capture leads, book consultations, collect retainer payments, and log case details instantly in your systems. With our AI-first answering service with human support as an extension of capabilities, potential clients never hit voicemail. Our human agents seamlessly step in when callers request to speak with someone directly or have sensitive legal situations that require detailed information collection and routing to the appropriate attorney or paralegal.

Bill more time while AI handles the calls

The AI Receptionist from Smith.ai greets every caller professionally and captures essential case information through structured intake questions. By collecting key details upfront — such as legal matter type, urgency level, jurisdiction, opposing parties for conflict checks, and timeline requirements — the system helps identify and prioritize qualified leads based on your practice areas and expertise.
