In court, unreachable. The distressed client calls the next firm.
Hearings, police station, filing deadlines: a lawyer rarely picks up. Yet a legal call is often the first step of someone in distress — they call the next firm if nobody answers. Discretion and rigor in first contact set the whole matter.

FAQ
Law Firms: your questions
Can the AI give legal advice?
No, never. It qualifies the request, captures facts and books the consultation. Any substantive question gets a promised callback from you — that's what protects your liability and professional ethics.
How does it check conflicts of interest?
You import your adverse-party and existing-client list; the AI compares mentioned names and alerts you before the callback. It's an aid filter — the final call stays yours.
What about sensitive calls (family, criminal)?
The AI applies a specific tone: listening, minimal factual questions, no judgment, and transfer to you the moment the caller expresses strong emotion. The encrypted transcript waits for you.
Can my assistants keep control?
Yes — the dashboard lets you take over any text thread at any time, and you choose the windows where AI acts alone (hearings, lunches) versus those where everything transfers to you.
How long is setup for a firm?
48 hours: script calibrated to your practice areas and ethics, conflict list imported, live test with a fictional client scenario. You approve every wording before go-live.
