The inbound loop

Check your missed calls. It’s the same intake calls on repeat.

Different practice areas, one pattern: a caller in a hurry, a matter to screen, and a consult to book — arriving at night and on weekends, exactly when your attorneys are in court or asleep.

  1. 01
    My son was just arrested — what do we do?

    A family in crisis at 2 AM who will call the next firm on the list the second this one goes to voicemail.

    criminal
  2. 02
    I was rear-ended and I'm hurt — do I have a case?

    A paid injury lead who signs with whoever answers first, and needs answering in English or Spanish.

    injury lead
  3. 03
    I need to file for divorce — can I talk to someone tonight?

    A 9 PM crisis call that needs a patient voice and a booked consult, not a message slip for the morning.

    family
  4. 04
    My hearing is in three weeks and I just got a notice.

    A deadline-driven immigration caller who needs the right language and a consult before the date passes.

    immigration
  5. 05
    I finally need to get my will done.

    The call a firm waits years for — easy to book, and the easiest to lose to a Saturday voicemail box.

    estate

The caller in crisis is dialing firms in order. A system should screen the matter and book the consult before yours ever rings out.

What is an AI receptionist for law firms?

It answers, screens, and books the consult — it doesn’t practice law.

An AI receptionist for law firms answers every call, chat, and text the moment it arrives — 24/7, in 70+ languages — steadies the caller, and runs the firm’s intake for the practice area: the charge and court date for criminal defense, the incident and injuries for personal injury, the matter and conflict for family or business law, the case type and deadline for immigration, the situation and goals for estate planning. It books the consultation with an attorney and writes the screened intake into Clio Grow, MyCase, or Lawmatics. Crucially it is reception and intake only — it greets, qualifies, schedules, and routes to a licensed attorney; it answers factual questions about the firm but never legal ones, never gives legal advice or evaluates a case, and makes clear that contacting the firm does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship.

The difference callers feel

An answering service takes a message. Lumi screens the matter and books the consult.

A voicemail or answering service

  • Takes a name and a number for someone to call back
  • Reads a generic “an attorney will contact you” script
  • Never runs a conflict check or captures the matter
  • Books nothing — just logs a message for the morning
  • Rolls to voicemail after 6 PM and all weekend

Lumi

  • Runs your practice-area intake and captures the matter facts
  • Captures the conflict-check details for your firm to clear
  • Checks the calendar and books the consultation live
  • Writes the screened intake into Clio Grow, MyCase or Lawmatics
  • Answers at 2 AM in the caller's language, escalates the urgent

A message in the morning is a client already retained elsewhere. A booked consult is the matter you keep — screened, conflict-flagged, and in your case system. Explore the AI answering service

Answering the call is just the front door

One agent for the whole firm — across every practice you run.

Whatever mix of matters comes through your phones, Lumi runs the right intake for each and hands your attorneys screened, case-ready files.

One intake desk, every channel

Voice, SMS, web chat, WhatsApp, email — every call, form, and text answered in one place, so no inquiry reaches a voicemail box after hours.

Screened matters, not messages

Lumi runs your practice-area intake and hands your attorneys a screened matter with the facts captured — not a name and a callback number.

Reception, never legal advice

Lumi answers factual questions about your firm and books consults. It never gives legal advice, evaluates a case, or forms the attorney-client relationship — that stays with your licensed attorneys.

Answered in 70+ languages

Every caller in their own language, around the clock — a defensible edge in immigration, PI, and any firm with a multilingual client base.

Urgency reaches an attorney

A 2 AM arrest, a detention, a deal on a clock — the time-critical calls escalate to your on-call attorney immediately, with the intake attached.

Built on your case-management stack

Clio Grow, MyCase, Lawmatics, Filevine, CASEpeer, Docketwise — screened matters and consults land where your attorneys and paralegals already work.

Speed-to-intake is everything

A caller in crisis is winnable — for about five minutes.

The window to win a matter closes almost as fast as it opens. Lumi answers inside it, every hour of every day; a next-morning callback races a caller who already signed with someone else.

  1. Call lands · 0 min

    The arrest call, the injury lead, the crisis hits — often at night. The caller is already dialing firms in order.

No rip-and-replace

Keep the stack you already run — Lumi works on top of it.

Your intake CRM, your case management, your calendar and e-sign — Lumi works inside them, not instead of them. Sits on top of the practice software your firm already trusts. Screened matters and consults land where your attorneys and paralegals already work — 270+ tools in all.

Your intake, your math

What do missed intake calls cost your firm?

Three sliders. No email gate. This is the retainer revenue slipping out of intake calls that never got a fast, useful answer.

Retainer revenue leaking out of missed intake

$22,050/month

$264,600 a year — roughly 75.6 matters walking to whoever answered first, at a conservative assumed 15% intake-to-signed rate.

Illustrative math on your inputs — not a fee quote, a case valuation, or legal advice. It sizes the retainers that reach voicemail, before the paralegal hours you get back from screening and status calls.

Built for a firm bound by the rules of conduct

Lines a law office never lets anyone cross. Neither does Lumi.

An intake mistake in a law firm isn't a bad review — it's a bar complaint. These four rules are hard-coded, not suggested.

Never legal advice

Procedural facts from the file, yes. Interpretation, strategy, or 'what should I do' — always a scheduled attorney callback, with the client's exact question attached.

Conflicts before details

The conflict-of-interest check runs before any matter details are taken, so a disqualifying story never enters the firm's ears — or its records.

Discretion is a setting

Email-only contact, no voicemails naming the firm, safety screens on sensitive matters — honored on every touch, because some callers are not safe at home.

Your PMS is the record

Every inquiry, consult, and touchpoint writes to Clio, MyCase, or Filevine — timestamped, reviewable, and where your malpractice carrier expects it to be.

Objections, welcome

The objections every partner raises. Answered plainly.

Does LumiTalk give legal advice to callers?

Never — that boundary is structural, not a tone setting. Lumi gathers facts, runs your screening questions, shares only the case information you've cleared for release, and books time with an attorney for everything that requires judgment. When a caller pushes for an opinion, Lumi explains an attorney will address that in the consultation, and captures the question so the attorney walks in prepared. Advice stays where the license is.

Which legal practice management systems does it support?

LumiTalk works inside Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball, and Lawmatics, among others — creating contacts and matters, writing intake summaries, booking calendar events, and logging every communication where your team already looks for it. The firm's existing system remains the system; no data migration, no side spreadsheet. If you run a different platform or a specific intake tool, ask during the demo and we'll verify coverage.

How does after-hours intake actually work?

Identically to daytime intake, which is the point. The 11 PM caller gets a live, unhurried conversation: matter details captured, conflict screening run, urgency assessed against your criteria, and either a consultation booked into tomorrow's calendar or your on-call attorney alerted for the situations you define as immediate — protective orders, arrests, filing deadlines. Your team opens the morning with signed-up consultations, not a voicemail queue to triage.

Can it keep client matters confidential?

Lumi verifies identity before discussing any matter, shares only what you've explicitly authorized per matter type, and produces a complete log of every interaction for your records. It's engineered for the sensitivity legal work demands — but law firms carry professional-responsibility obligations we take too seriously to gloss over with a slogan. Bring your confidentiality requirements to a demo and we'll walk through the controls concretely.

What does it cost compared to an answering service?

LumiTalk is a flat monthly rate, while traditional legal answering services typically bill per call or per minute — and hand you messages rather than booked consultations. The comparison worth making isn't cost per call; it's what a single signed client from an after-hours intake is worth to your practice. Book a demo with your call patterns and we'll quote your configuration precisely.

Will callers know they are talking to an AI?

Lumi introduces itself as the firm's virtual assistant, plainly. What callers notice is that a calm voice answered at 9 PM, ran the proper conflict check, and had them booked with a real attorney in minutes. Anything requiring judgment, discretion, or a license goes to your team — with the whole exchange attached.

What languages can it handle?

Lumi works in 70+ languages, detecting the caller's language and continuing naturally — intake questions, consult booking, confirmations. For firms serving immigrant communities, that means the frightened 8 PM caller gets screened in her own language instead of hanging up on an English-only voicemail.

How long does it take to go live?

Lumi connects to your practice management system, learns your practice areas, conflict-check procedure, consult calendars, and fee language, then runs supervised test calls — typically live in a few weeks. Your staff keep doing exactly what they do; consultations simply start appearing on calendars with intake notes attached.

How does the handoff to attorneys and paralegals work?

Every handoff arrives as a package: who contacted the firm, the matter type, the conflict-check result, what was booked or promised, and the client's exact question when one needs a legal answer. Attorneys get scheduled callback windows, not sticky notes — and nothing requiring judgment is ever answered by the AI.

Does this replace our receptionist or intake staff?

It replaces the parts that lose the firm money: the unanswered 6 PM call, the web lead nobody returned, the fourth status call of the afternoon. Your people keep every conversation that needs empathy plus authority — upset clients, fee negotiations, judgment calls — and stop being interrupted out of billable work for the rest.
