"We were missing intake calls every evening and weekend. Robot Half picks up every single one now and screens them before they ever reach an attorney. Setup was under 5 minutes."
"After-hours calls used to go to voicemail — clients in crisis calling at 10pm got nothing. Now they reach someone immediately and the on-call attorney gets a text within seconds. It's completely changed our intake."
Firm name, practice areas, intake questions, emergency protocol, and office hours. Takes 3 minutes.
Robot Half creates a custom AI trained on your firm — your greetings, your intake questions, your triage rules for after-hours emergencies.
Set call forwarding to your Robot Half number. Overflow, after-hours, and unanswered calls route automatically.
Robot Half answers 24/7. Your team gets structured intake messages. Clients get helped immediately. Cases stop walking out the door.
Robot Half handles intake screening and message-taking — it does not provide legal advice or record protected communications. Callers share name, contact info, and the nature of their legal matter. No privileged details are solicited or stored. For specific confidentiality requirements, consult your state bar guidelines.
You define the intake questions — practice area, jurisdiction, case type, any conflict-check questions. Robot Half asks them on every intake call. Callers who meet your criteria get routed to your team with a full intake summary. Unqualified callers receive a professional referral message. You set the rules; the AI follows them precisely.
You define what counts as an emergency (arrest, custody situation, urgent injunction, bail hearing) and what happens — text alert to on-call attorney, warm transfer to a specific number, or both. Non-emergency after-hours calls get a structured message delivered to your team the next morning.
Robot Half delivers structured intake messages — caller name, number, practice area, case summary — via text or email to your team. Your staff enters it into Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, or any other CMS. Native direct integrations are on the roadmap. The structured format makes manual entry fast.
Start with a single emergency shift for $80 — covers one evening, weekend, or holiday. No contract, no monthly commitment. Most firms switch to the $199/mo unlimited plan once they see how many intake calls were slipping through. At $3K–$15K per case, one captured call pays for the whole year.
