Frequently asked questions
No. Our receptionists never provide legal advice or interpret a caller’s matter. They collect information, qualify leads against your firm’s criteria, and route or schedule based on your instructions — the same way a trained intake coordinator would.
Either, or both — you choose. AI Receptionist handles calls with proprietary AI trained on 25M+ calls over more than a decade; Virtual Receptionist puts a live, North American agent on every call; Hybrid blends the two, escalating to a live agent whenever a call needs judgment a script can’t provide.
Every accident caller gets answered instantly, 24/7, instead of reaching voicemail and calling the next firm on Google. Smith.ai qualifies the case against your criteria, gets it in front of your team immediately, and — for contingency cases — can trigger a retainer agreement the moment the call qualifies, so you’re never second to the first callback.
On price: we charge per call, not per minute, so a long new-client call costs the same as a short one — unlike per-minute competitors, where your highest-value calls are also your most expensive. On fit: Smith.ai runs as an overlay on top of whichever practice management system you use today, rather than a feature locked inside one platform, so it works the same way whether you’re on Clio, Filevine, CASEpeer, or something else.
Qualification is built around what actually determines next steps: date of incident, jurisdiction, injury severity, and whether the caller already has representation. A catastrophic injury is flagged instantly for a live warm transfer to your team; every other case follows your firm’s own scheduling and follow-up rules — configured to how your firm actually signs clients, whether that’s sign-first or vet-first.
Yes. The moment a call qualifies, Smith.ai can trigger your e-sign tool (such as DocuSign) to send a retainer agreement automatically — before the consultation even happens. This is fully validated for personal injury and SSI/SSDI matters today.
It’s treated as the single highest-priority signal in the call. Rather than following standard intake, a catastrophic injury routes straight to a live warm transfer so your team can respond immediately, instead of waiting behind routine scheduling requests.
Yes — full conversational fluency in English and Spanish on every call, for continuity from first ring to signed retainer.
We connect to most practice management systems, including Clio, MyCase, Filevine, CASEpeer, and Lead Docket, through native integrations and Zapier’s 7,000+ app connections. Connection depth varies by system, so ask your onboarding team about the right setup for your stack.
Only what changes the outcome — incident date, jurisdiction, injury severity, and prior or current representation — not a bloated, generic intake script. Detail-heavy items like medical records and accident photos are collected after the retainer is sent, typically by text or email, rather than asked on the live call.
Smith.ai identifies out-of-practice-area callers during screening and can optionally refer them to a bar association or another firm, per your instructions, so your team isn’t spending time on calls that were never going to convert.
Self-serve plans are month-to-month with no contract. Enterprise and Hybrid plans are tailored to your call volume — ask your onboarding team for details.
Onboarding is three steps: tell us your intake criteria, qualifying signals, and escalation rules; send us your calls (a new number or forwarding your existing one); then try your custom plan risk-free for 30 days.
We automatically block over 20 million known spam and robocall numbers before they ever reach an agent, and we don’t charge for calls we block. Agents are also trained to catch sales calls disguised as leads, so time isn’t wasted qualifying against your criteria.
Set the standard for how accident calls get handled. We’ll follow it, every time.

Carol O’Connor Cadiz, O’Connor Cadiz Accident & Injury Law
Last month, we had a campaign that generated 324 leads that were submitted to Smith.ai for outbound follow-up. 42 of them successfully converted for our firm.
No. Our receptionists never provide legal advice or interpret a caller’s matter. They collect information, qualify leads against your firm’s criteria, and route or schedule based on your instructions — the same way a trained intake coordinator would.
Are the calls handled by a person or AI?
Either, or both — you choose. AI Receptionist handles calls with proprietary AI trained on 25M+ calls over more than a decade; Virtual Receptionist puts a live, North American agent on every call; Hybrid blends the two, escalating to a live agent whenever a call needs judgment a script can’t provide.
How does your virtual receptionist service benefit my personal injury firm?
Every accident caller gets answered instantly, 24/7, instead of reaching voicemail and calling the next firm on Google. Smith.ai qualifies the case against your criteria, gets it in front of your team immediately, and — for contingency cases — can trigger a retainer agreement the moment the call qualifies, so you’re never second to the first callback.
How do you compare to other legal answering services or PI-specific intake platforms like CASEpeer or Lead Docket?
On price: we charge per call, not per minute, so a long new-client call costs the same as a short one — unlike per-minute competitors, where your highest-value calls are also your most expensive. On fit: Smith.ai runs as an overlay on top of whichever practice management system you use today, rather than a feature locked inside one platform, so it works the same way whether you’re on Clio, Filevine, CASEpeer, or something else.
How do you qualify a personal injury case during intake?
Qualification is built around what actually determines next steps: date of incident, jurisdiction, injury severity, and whether the caller already has representation. A catastrophic injury is flagged instantly for a live warm transfer to your team; every other case follows your firm’s own scheduling and follow-up rules — configured to how your firm actually signs clients, whether that’s sign-first or vet-first.
Can you send retainers automatically for personal injury cases?
Yes. The moment a call qualifies, Smith.ai can trigger your e-sign tool (such as DocuSign) to send a retainer agreement automatically — before the consultation even happens. This is fully validated for personal injury and SSI/SSDI matters today.
What happens when a caller describes a catastrophic injury?
It’s treated as the single highest-priority signal in the call. Rather than following standard intake, a catastrophic injury routes straight to a live warm transfer so your team can respond immediately, instead of waiting behind routine scheduling requests.
Do you handle Spanish-speaking callers?
Yes — full conversational fluency in English and Spanish on every call, for continuity from first ring to signed retainer.
Do you integrate with Clio, MyCase, Filevine, CASEpeer, or Lead Docket?
We connect to most practice management systems, including Clio, MyCase, Filevine, CASEpeer, and Lead Docket, through native integrations and Zapier’s 7,000+ app connections. Connection depth varies by system, so ask your onboarding team about the right setup for your stack.
What information do you actually ask an accident caller for?
Only what changes the outcome — incident date, jurisdiction, injury severity, and prior or current representation — not a bloated, generic intake script. Detail-heavy items like medical records and accident photos are collected after the retainer is sent, typically by text or email, rather than asked on the live call.
What if a caller’s case is outside our practice area, like workers’ comp or medical malpractice?
Smith.ai identifies out-of-practice-area callers during screening and can optionally refer them to a bar association or another firm, per your instructions, so your team isn’t spending time on calls that were never going to convert.
Is there a contract, or can I cancel anytime?
Self-serve plans are month-to-month with no contract. Enterprise and Hybrid plans are tailored to your call volume — ask your onboarding team for details.
What happens after I sign up?
Onboarding is three steps: tell us your intake criteria, qualifying signals, and escalation rules; send us your calls (a new number or forwarding your existing one); then try your custom plan risk-free for 30 days.
How do you determine if calls are spam or sales?
We automatically block over 20 million known spam and robocall numbers before they ever reach an agent, and we don’t charge for calls we block. Agents are also trained to catch sales calls disguised as leads, so time isn’t wasted qualifying against your criteria.
