Small Law Firm

A small law firm with 2 attorneys and a part-time receptionist. Attorneys are in court, depositions, or client meetings 60% of the day. High-value intake calls from potential clients — worth $3,000–$15,000 per case — go to voicemail and never call back.

This is a projected ROI scenario based on published industry averages. Individual results vary based on market, pricing, call volume, and service mix.

Industry Context

Small law firms miss 40–50% of inbound calls according to Clio's Legal Trends Report. Legal intake calls are extremely time-sensitive — potential clients in crisis (accident, arrest, divorce filing) call 2–3 firms and go with whoever answers first. The average case value ranges from $3,000 for simple matters to $15,000+ for personal injury or family law. A single missed intake call can represent $5,000–$15,000 in lost revenue.

The Problem

Both attorneys are in court, depositions, or client meetings roughly 60% of the business day. The part-time receptionist covers 20 hours/week. During the other 20+ hours, calls go to voicemail. Potential clients calling about a car accident, a custody dispute, or a business conflict don't leave voicemails — they call the next firm on Google. Each lost intake represents $3,000–$15,000 in case value.
