Can it really handle calls in other languages?
Yes — that's the point. Lumi answers in the caller's own language across 70+ of them, including Spanish, Mandarin, Haitian Creole, Arabic, and Portuguese, on voice, text, chat, and WhatsApp. It runs the same disciplined intake in any language and summarizes it in English in your system so any attorney on your team can pick it up.
Does it give immigration or legal advice?
No, and it's built not to. Lumi is an intake receptionist — it greets, screens the matter, schedules a consult, and routes to a licensed attorney. It never advises on immigration options, never opines on whether someone is eligible or how a case will turn out, and answers only factual questions about your firm. Legal questions wait for the attorney.
What does it capture on an immigration call?
Your intake, run conversationally: the matter type (family, green card, employment, asylum, removal, citizenship, visa), the country of origin, current immigration status, any hearing or USCIS filing deadline, and whether the person is detained — plus the best contact. Vague answers are gently narrowed into usable facts, and the whole screened intake lands in your case-management system.
What happens with a detention or a hearing next week?
Those are exactly the calls it exists for. Lumi captures the urgency — where the person is detained, the hearing date — and escalates to your on-call attorney immediately with the facts attached, so a time-critical matter reaches a human fast instead of sitting in a voicemail box.
Does contacting the firm create an attorney-client relationship?
No, and Lumi is scripted to say so in the language you choose. Reaching your firm through the intake line does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship, and the intake isn't privileged legal advice — representation begins with your engagement agreement and a licensed attorney.
Which systems does it write into?
It works on top of the tools immigration firms run — Clio Grow, Clio, MyCase, Lawmatics, and PracticePanther among them. It creates the contact, attaches the multilingual intake, and books the consult. Your system stays the record; Lumi keeps it current. Using something else? Ask.
Is it compliant with attorney advertising and UPL rules?
Lumi is positioned strictly as reception and intake — it doesn't practice law, give immigration advice, or form the attorney-client relationship. It won't guarantee outcomes or make unsubstantiated claims, and it surfaces the disclosures you configure. Your state bar's rules govern; the boundaries are yours to set.
How much does it cost for an immigration firm?
Flat monthly pricing, sized to your call volume and the channels you switch on — not a per-minute meter or a language-line surcharge. Solo and multi-attorney firms are scoped differently, so the honest answer depends on your setup. Book a demo, tell us your volume and case-management system, and we'll put a number in front of you.
