The intake half of The Watershed

The call that comes in at 9pm goes to whoever answers.

An AI intake desk answers every call and web message for your firm 24/7, screens it against your criteria, captures it into your case system, and books the consultation - so the person who calls after hours is captured instead of lost to the next firm on the list. A person in a legal crisis retains whoever picks up first. This is what picks up.

Live in 14 days · Answers on the phone and the web · Administrative intake only - never legal advice.

What it does

Answer, screen, capture, book, follow up - on every enquiry.

It answers from your firm

Built on your practice areas, your process, your screening questions - not a generic script. When it does not know, it hands off to a human instead of guessing.

It screens before it books

Conflicts, practice area, urgency, jurisdiction. The people who are not a fit get a courteous close. The people who are get a slot in your calendar while they are still on the line.

It never sleeps and never gets busy

Nine at night, Saturday morning, or while your paralegal is already on another call. Every enquiry answered the moment it arrives.

The intake desk performs administrative intake only. It does not give legal advice or create a solicitor-client relationship. The responsible lawyer stays the licensee at all times.

Questions

Answered plainly.

How can a law firm stop missing new client calls after hours? +
An AI intake desk answers every call and web message 24/7, screens it against the firm’s criteria, and books the consultation - so the person who calls at 2am is captured instead of lost to the next firm.
Does an AI intake desk give legal advice? +
No. It performs administrative intake only - it answers, screens, captures the enquiry into the firm’s case-management system, and books a consultation. It never gives legal advice or implies a solicitor-client relationship; the lawyer stays the responsible licensee.
Can AI answer a law firm’s phone and book consultations? +
Yes. A voice intake desk answers on the first ring day or night, runs the firm’s screening questions, checks the calendar, and books the consultation live on the call.
What if it does not know the answer to something? +
It captures the enquiry and hands off to a human rather than inventing an answer. It is built to book the consultation, not to practise law.
