Capture Every High-Value Legal Lead, Day or Night.
What is an AI legal intake answering service?
An AI legal intake answering service is a 24/7 virtual receptionist that answers every call, runs consistent intake screening questions, books consultations into your calendar, and syncs with Clio. EngageAgents provides done-for-you legal intake AI for West Michigan law firms, live within 48 hours.
The legal intake call problem
Potential clients call after hours and on weekends
Legal callers often research at night and on weekends. If your firm sends them to voicemail, they call the next attorney — and that attorney gets the retainer.
Intake staff overwhelmed during business hours
Your intake coordinator can only handle one call at a time. While they're on a 15-minute screening, three other potential clients hear a busy signal or voicemail.
Inconsistent intake questioning
Different staff members ask different questions. Critical conflict-check and qualification details get missed, and you waste time on consultations that should have been screened out.
Slow follow-up on web form leads
Someone fills out your contact form at 7pm. By the time your team calls back at 9am, they've already booked a consultation with a faster firm.
How EngageAgents fixes it
24/7 consistent intake screening
The AI asks the same qualifying questions every time — practice area, matter type, conflict check, urgency — and captures complete intake data 24/7.
Books consultations into your calendar
Qualified leads get a consultation booked directly into your calendar and synced to Clio. No phone tag, no back-and-forth scheduling.
60-second lead follow-up
Every call and web form lead gets an instant text-back confirming receipt and next steps. Speed-to-lead wins retainers.
Clio integration & matter creation
Intake data syncs to Clio automatically. New matters and contacts are created with zero manual entry.
