AI Receptionist for Law Firms
Capture every potential client call. Tilk AI qualifies leads, books consultations, and handles intake questions 24/7 so attorneys can focus on billable work.
Challenges Law Firms Businesses Face
Lost leads during court appearances
Attorneys spend hours in court, depositions, and client meetings. Potential clients calling during these times reach voicemail and immediately call the next firm on their list. A single missed PI call can mean $50,000+ in lost fees.
Expensive after-hours answering services
Traditional legal answering services charge $2-5 per call and often lack the training to properly qualify leads or gather relevant case details. Firms pay premium rates for mediocre intake quality.
Intake bottleneck slowing case acquisition
Paralegals and legal assistants spend 30-45 minutes per intake call gathering case facts, conflict checks, and contact details. This manual process limits how many new matters the firm can take on weekly.
Sensitive callers hanging up on hold
Clients calling about divorces, criminal charges, or injury claims are emotionally distressed. Being placed on hold or reaching a generic voicemail makes them feel unheard, and they move on to a competitor who answers.
How Tilk AI Solves It
Lead Qualification & Conflict Pre-Check
Asks callers about their legal matter, opposing parties, and timeline. Flags potential conflicts and scores leads by practice area so attorneys only follow up on qualified prospects.
Consultation Scheduling
Books initial consultations directly into attorney calendars based on practice area, availability, and matter urgency. Sends confirmation with office address, what to bring, and fee information.
24/7 Professional Call Handling
Every call is answered with your firm name and a professional tone befitting a law practice. The AI handles after-hours calls, weekend inquiries, and overflow during busy periods with equal competence.
Detailed Intake Capture
Gathers case facts, incident dates, injury details, involved parties, and insurance information in a structured format. Delivers complete intake summaries to the assigned attorney or paralegal via email.
Practice Area Routing
Identifies whether the caller needs personal injury, family law, criminal defense, estate planning, or another practice area, and routes to the appropriate attorney or department.

This is an actual AI conversation — not scripted.
Hi, I was in a car accident last week and I think I need a lawyer.
I'm sorry to hear about your accident. You've reached Peterson & Associates. I can help get you started. Can I have your name?
Maria Rodriguez.
Thank you, Maria. Can you tell me when the accident occurred and whether anyone was injured?
It was last Tuesday, March 17th. I have whiplash and my back has been hurting. The other driver ran a red light.
I'm sorry you're dealing with that. Have you sought medical treatment for your injuries yet?
Yes, I went to the ER the day of and I've been seeing a chiropractor since.
That's good that you're getting treatment. I'd like to schedule a free consultation with one of our personal injury attorneys. We have availability tomorrow at 11am or Wednesday at 3pm. Which would work better?
Tomorrow at 11am works.
Perfect. You're booked for tomorrow at 11am with attorney James Chen for a free personal injury consultation. Please bring your insurance information, the police report if you have it, and any medical records. I'll text you a confirmation with our office address. Is there anything else?
No, thank you so much.

Why Law Firms Cannot Afford to Miss a Single Call
In legal services, the phone is the primary intake channel. When someone needs an attorney — after a car accident, during a divorce, facing criminal charges — they pick up the phone and call. If your firm does not answer, they call the next one. There is no second chance with a distressed potential client.
The economics are stark. A single personal injury case can be worth $30,000 to $100,000 in fees. A missed call from a commercial litigation prospect could represent even more. Yet most law firms miss 30-40% of incoming calls because attorneys are in court, in depositions, or meeting with existing clients.
Tilk AI ensures every call is answered professionally, every lead is qualified, and every consultation is booked — without pulling attorneys or paralegals away from billable work.
The Problem With Traditional Answering Services
Many firms rely on third-party answering services, but these come with significant limitations. Operators are generalists who take a name and number. They cannot conduct meaningful legal intake, ask the right follow-up questions, or book consultations into your calendar. At $2-5 per call, costs add up quickly — and the quality rarely justifies the expense.
AI phone agents change the equation entirely. Tilk AI conducts structured intake tailored to each practice area, gathers the specific details attorneys need to evaluate a potential case, and schedules consultations in real time. The result is not just a message slip — it is a complete intake package ready for attorney review.
Structured Intake That Saves Paralegal Hours
A typical legal intake call takes 30-45 minutes when handled by a paralegal. Multiply that by 10-15 new inquiries per week, and your intake staff is spending half their time on the phone instead of supporting active cases.
Tilk AI handles this entire process. It gathers case facts, incident dates, involved parties, insurance details, and urgency indicators. The attorney receives a clean summary that reads like a completed intake form, not a garbled voicemail transcription. Visit our pricing page to see how this translates to cost savings.
After-Hours Coverage That Actually Converts
Legal emergencies do not follow business hours. DUI arrests happen at 2am. Car accidents happen on weekends. Custody disputes escalate on holidays. Firms that answer these calls when they come in convert at significantly higher rates than firms that return calls the next business day.
Tilk AI provides genuine after-hours capability — not just message-taking, but lead qualification, intake completion, and next-available consultation booking that gives callers immediate confidence they have found the right firm.
