AI Intake Agents for Law Firms: Qualify and Route New Matters

{"faqs":[{"answer":"During scoping, we map your case screening criteria — practice area, statute limitations, and conflict basics — into the agent's conversation flow. The agent captures caller details, screens against your criteria, and routes qualified matters to the right attorney, just like a dedicated intake staffer would.","question":"How does an AI intake agent screen cases for a contingency-based practice?"},{"answer":"Yes — our AI receptionist-grade capability answers calls on a real phone number, so callers reach your firm after hours, on weekends, and during trial prep. We also offer browser-based voice agents for your website, which engage visitors directly in the browser.","question":"Will the AI receptionist actually answer my firm's phone line?"},{"answer":"Your agents are built and operated by AIQ Labs and integrated with the tools your firm already uses, so intake data flows through systems you control. Because you own everything we build, your firm retains full ownership of its client intake records and workflows.","question":"Is my prospective client data secure and compliant?"},{"answer":"It starts with a scoping call where we map your call flow, screening criteria, and existing software. From there, AIQ Labs designs, builds, connects, and tests your agent, then runs it month-to-month. Timelines vary by firm, but the build is done for you — no DIY setup on your end.","question":"How long does it take to get an intake agent live for my firm?"},{"answer":"A traditional answering service takes messages. Our agents answer, screen, qualify, follow up, book appointments, and route matters — integrated with the software your firm already uses. And unlike a legal call center subscription, it's month-to-month and you own everything we build.","question":"How is this different from a traditional law firm answering service?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Book a Scoping Call","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We map your current client intake process — call flow, case screening criteria, practice areas, and the tools your firm already uses."},{"step":"2","title":"We Build Your Agent","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"AIQ Labs designs and builds your AI intake agent, connects it to your phone number and existing software, and tests it against real intake scenarios."},{"step":"3","title":"We Run It, You Own It","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"We operate the agent month-to-month while qualified new matters route to your team.
