AI client intake for law firms

Answer every call, in every language your clients speak, around the clock — and turn intake from your biggest leak into your biggest edge.

The short version

I build AI systems that answer a firm's calls 24/7 in English, Spanish, Farsi, and Armenian, qualify the matter, draft the intake paperwork, and drop it straight into Clio, Filevine, or MyCase — under attorney supervision and built around legal compliance. It's the same platform I run myself, Your Legal Brain.

The problem: every missed call is a missed case

Most legal leads call once. If it's after hours, in another language, or the front desk is slammed, that client dials the next firm — and you never knew they existed. Intake leakage is the quietest, most expensive hole in a law practice.

What I build for law firms

24/7 voice intake that answers every call, qualifies the matter, and books the consult — in English, Spanish, Farsi, and Armenian.
AI document drafting for routine intake paperwork and first-pass filings, with case-law lookup wired to CourtListener.
Practice-system integration so everything lands in the tools you already run — Clio, Filevine, or MyCase — not a separate inbox.
Compliance and confidentiality by design, built around the rules law firms operate under, including California's SB 37.

Why work with me

I don't just consult on legal AI — I built the platform. Your Legal Brain (YLB) is my own system for law-firm intake and operations, running in production. When I tell you what AI can and can't safely do in a firm, it's from building it, not reading about it. AI assists your team under attorney supervision; it never replaces professional judgment.

Curious how firms get found when someone asks an AI "who's the best injury lawyer near me"? That's LLMO — and it pairs directly with intake. See the answer hub or what it costs.

Frequently asked questions

An AI voice agent answers every inbound call 24/7, asks the qualifying questions you'd ask, captures the details, and books a consultation or routes urgent matters to a human — then drops a clean record into your case system. No missed after-hours calls, no lead sitting in a voicemail until Monday.

It's designed to be. The AI handles intake and administrative drafting, not legal advice, and everything runs under attorney supervision with confidentiality and disclosure rules in mind, including California's SB 37. The goal is to remove front-desk bottlenecks, not the lawyer's judgment.

English, Spanish, Farsi, and Armenian out of the box — which matters enormously in markets like Los Angeles, where a client who can explain their problem in their own language is a client who signs.

Yes. Intake and drafting output flow into the practice-management system you already use, so your team works where they already work.

For routine intake paperwork and first drafts, yes — with case-law lookup via CourtListener to ground the work. Every draft is a starting point for attorney review, which is faster than starting from a blank page.

It depends on scope and how much you automate. I work hourly, roughly $350–$450, with custom builds quoted per project. See the full breakdown on the pricing page.

Common questions

AI legal intake, answered

?What is an AI intake platform for a law firm? An AI intake platform answers inbound calls and web enquiries around the clock, qualifies the matter against your criteria, captures the client details, and files everything into your practice management system. For a law firm it replaces the gap between a prospect calling at 9pm and someone reading a voicemail two days later — by which time most legal leads have already called the next firm.
?How does AI intake for law firms actually work? A caller reaches an AI intake agent instead of voicemail. It asks the qualifying questions you would ask, identifies the practice area and jurisdiction, flags conflicts and statute-of-limitation concerns for attorney review, drafts the intake paperwork, and drops a structured matter into Clio, Filevine or MyCase. An attorney reviews before anything is acted on.
?Is AI legal intake ethical and compliant? It can be, and the design matters. Intake is not legal advice, so an AI agent gathering facts and scheduling a consult sits well within existing rules — provided the caller knows they are speaking with an AI, confidentiality is preserved, no advice is given, and an attorney supervises every matter before action. California's SB 37 is the relevant recent framework, and your own state bar's guidance governs. Systems that blur any of those lines are the ones that create exposure.
?Does AI client intake work for attorneys in multiple languages? Yes, and it is often the strongest single argument for it. Voice intake handles English, Spanish, Farsi and Armenian, meaning a caller who would otherwise hang up and dial elsewhere gets qualified in their own language at 2am. In Los Angeles that is not an edge case, it is a large share of the market.
?What does AI client intake cost a law firm? It depends on call volume, the practice systems it integrates with, and whether you need voice, forms or both. The useful comparison is against a single missed case: for most practice areas, one signed matter that would otherwise have gone to the firm down the street covers a substantial period of the system.
