The Cost of a Missed Call

What every unanswered call costs your business

42%

of potential legal clients who don't hear back within an hour move on

Personal injury, family law, immigration, and criminal defense clients are usually calling in a moment of crisis. They are not loyal, they call the first firm that answers. A missed call after 5 PM or a voicemail during a hearing is a case you will never see. Beyond speed, inconsistent intake means skipped questions, missed conflict-check data, and cases that slip through qualification. Otofi answers every call, asks your exact questions, and books the consultation.

What Otofi Handles

Call types managed for law firms

Otofi is an AI phone agent that answers and makes calls for law firms, runs your intake questionnaire, screens for conflicts, books consultations in Clio or Lawmatics, and hands off to attorneys when needed.

1

New-matter intake with firm-defined question sets

Otofi asks your exact intake questions, tailored per practice area (PI, family, immigration, criminal), and captures every answer before hanging up. Intake is consistent regardless of when the call arrives.

2

Conflict-check data capture

Collects opposing party names, entity names, and other conflict-check fields your firm requires, and logs them to Clio or your intake CRM before the call ends.

3

Consultation booking

Qualified prospects are offered the first available consultation slot with the appropriate attorney. The appointment is written directly into Clio Grow or your scheduling tool.

4

Existing-client status calls → route to paralegal or attorney

Current clients calling for case updates are identified by matter number or name and transferred to the correct paralegal or attorney, or offered a callback if the contact is unavailable.

5

Court date and document reminders

Otofi places outbound reminder calls for upcoming hearings, deadlines, or document submission dates, reducing the volume of anxious inbound status calls.

6

Payment and retainer questions

Answers basic billing questions from your approved scripts. Transfers to your billing staff for disputes or payment arrangements.

7

After-hours intake with urgency flags

Arrest calls, accident calls within 24 hours, and other time-sensitive matters are flagged as urgent in your intake system and trigger an immediate notification to the on-call attorney.

Inbound & Outbound

Coverage in both directions

Inbound

Every potential-client call is answered immediately, day, night, weekend, and holidays. Otofi runs your firm's intake questions for each practice area, captures conflict-check data, screens for urgency, and books the consultation. Existing-client calls are identified and routed to the correct attorney or paralegal. The only calls that require attorney time are the ones that genuinely need it.

Outbound

Otofi places outbound reminder calls for upcoming consultations, hearings, and document deadlines. TCPA compliance for any outbound to non-clients is your responsibility, consult counsel before running outbound campaigns to purchased or third-party lists. All calls are recorded; two-party consent states receive explicit recording disclosures at call start.

Compliance & Control

What's recorded, who can listen, and how escalation works

Otofi never gives legal advice. Every call ends with a clear statement that the conversation is not legal counsel. Information shared by prospective clients is treated as confidential consistent with ABA Model Rule 1.18, Otofi logs intake data only to your designated practice management system. Conflict-check data is captured and flagged for attorney review before the consultation is confirmed. Recording consent disclosures are configured to match your state's two-party or all-party rules. Legal should review your specific configuration before go-live.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Never. Otofi is configured to gather information, answer logistical questions (office hours, consultation process, next steps), and book appointments. Any question that requires legal judgment is flagged for attorney follow-up. A disclaimer is read on every call.
Yes. You configure separate question sets for each practice area, personal injury, family law, immigration, criminal defense, estate planning, etc. Otofi asks the right questions based on what the caller tells it about their matter.
Yes, natively. Intake answers, conflict-check fields, and booked consultation details are written directly into your practice management system during the call. No manual data entry.
Information shared during intake is logged only to your designated practice management system and is not used for any other purpose. Call recordings are encrypted at rest and in transit. Access is limited to authorized users in your Otofi account.
Smith.ai and Ruby are human-staffed answering services, they answer calls and take messages or transfer to an attorney, but they typically don't run your intake questionnaire or book directly into Clio. Otofi completes the full intake and books the consultation on the first call, 24/7, at a fraction of the per-minute cost of human agents.
