AI Answering Service for Law Firms

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Research puts the average cost of generating a single legal lead at $649, and studies estimate nearly $109 billion in lost revenue across the legal industry from unanswered calls. Because missed-call losses never show up on a P&L, most firms underestimate the damage. An AI receptionist from Agents by AIQ answers every call on a real phone number so those leads are captured instead of lost.","question":"How much do law firm missed calls actually cost a small practice?"},{"answer":"Yes. Agents by AIQ builds an AI receptionist that answers your firm's calls on a real phone number around the clock — nights, weekends, and holidays included. That's critical for practice areas like personal injury intake calls, where potential clients often call in the evening and hire whoever answers first.","question":"Can an AI receptionist handle after-hours calls for a law firm?"},{"answer":"That's exactly how the service is designed. AIQ Labs builds done-for-you agents that integrate with the tools your firm already uses, and the intake conversation is scoped to your practice areas and the questions your team asks today. You book a call, we map your client intake process, and the agent is built to fit it.","question":"Will an AI answering service work with our existing intake process and tools?"},{"answer":"It starts with a scoping call where we learn your practice areas, call flow, and intake requirements. From there, the AIQ Labs team designs, builds, and connects your agent — because it's done-for-you, there's no software for your staff to install or learn. Timelines depend on the complexity of your setup, which we clarify on the scoping call.","question":"How long does it take to get an AI receptionist live for my firm?"},{"answer":"Traditional answering services follow rigid scripts and charge per minute, while DIY AI tools leave you to build and maintain everything yourself. Agents by AIQ designs, builds, connects, and runs your AI receptionist for you — month to month, with you owning everything. It's an agent built around your firm's intake process, not a generic call center queue.","question":"How is Agents by AIQ different from a traditional legal answering service or call center?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Book a Scoping Call","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Tell us about your practice areas, call volume, and how intake works today.
