Yes, our core team of professional receptionists are 100% US-based and handle calls during standard business hours. This ensures clear communication, local geographical knowledge, and the professional service your clients expect.

For firms requiring after-hours coverage, seamless support is provided through our trained international teams in Australia and the UK, maintaining the same quality standards around the clock.

We answer your calls within 10 seconds on average—typically 3-4 rings.  Our enterprise-grade call routing and US-based team ensure your clients receive professional attention as fast as possible. We understand that in legal practice, every call could be a new client or an existing client with an urgent matter.

Our team can handle concurrent calls seamlessly, ensuring your clients never encounter busy signals—even during high-volume periods or when your internal lines are occupied.  This is one of the reasons why our clients report significant increases in successfully managed calls rather than losing potential clients to hangups or voicemail.

Yes, we provide flexible overflow support.  Simply switch on delayed call forwarding. When your line is busy or a call isn’t answered in-house within a certain timeframe, we’ll then handle the overflow while maintaining your practice’s professional standards.

Yes. We don’t just take messages, we act as your first line of defense. Our team can follow your call handling instructions to identify new leads, flag urgent calls, and route priority clients directly to you. You decide how calls are managed, and we follow your lead. If you routinely receive a lot of spam calls, you can block numbers from your client portal or use our call screening IVR for free.

We can ask any qualifying questions you provide. For example, many law firms like to ask the type of legal issue, incident details such as date and location, and whether the caller has already spoken with another attorney. We’ll tailor the process to fit your practice area.
