LEGAL INTAKE
AI Intake for Law Firms: How It Works and What to Expect
How solo and small law firms can use AI for intake, qualification, scheduling, escalation, and follow-up without turning it into legal advice.
Legal intake is triage—not merely call answering
A useful legal intake workflow identifies the practice area, captures names needed for preliminary conflict screening, records important dates, recognizes urgency, and routes the person to the firm’s approved next step.
Casey stays inside firm-approved boundaries
Casey can gather information and schedule consultations, but should not evaluate the legal merits of a matter, promise representation, create an attorney-client relationship, or provide legal advice. The firm defines every qualification and escalation rule.
Measure the complete conversion path
The firm should track qualified leads, booked consultations, attendance, signed retainers, and collected payments. That is how intake becomes a measurable revenue-capture system rather than an answering expense.
