Frequently Asked
Questions

Straight answers about how the automation works, what the AI does and doesn't do, and what an engagement looks like.


Does the AI receptionist give legal advice?

No. The AI handles intake and logistics — gathering caller information, charges, and scheduling details. Legal questions are routed to the attorney. Every conversation is logged and reviewable by the firm.

How does the AI quote fees?

Fee quotes come from pricing rules the firm sets, computed by our system. The AI never generates a number on its own — it can only relay a fee our software calculated from the firm's own rules.

What happens when a Spanish-speaking client calls?

The call is handed to a Spanish-speaking AI intake specialist for a full intake conversation in Spanish — not a "press 2 and leave a message" dead end. Follow-up texts and payment emails are sent in Spanish as well.

Will this replace my staff?

No. It removes the repetitive work — portal lookups, drafting routine emails, reminder calls, phone screening — so your staff can focus on clients and casework instead of data entry.

Which courts do you cover?

New Jersey municipal courts statewide — the practices we serve handle matters across all 21 NJ counties, with deep roots in Burlington County, Camden County, and the broader South Jersey region.

Who owns the custom software you build?

Your firm. Software is built to your specification with no per-seat licensing and no subscription that climbs every year. As your workflow evolves, the software evolves with it.

What happens if something breaks?

Every system we deploy is actively monitored as part of the engagement. Failures are detected and resolved by us — usually before the firm notices. Maintenance is part of the service, not an extra.

How do clients pay?

Clients pay by card through a secure hosted payment page. Payment plans are supported, and invoices are tracked and reconciled automatically.

How long does setup take?

It depends on scope. Engagements start with a conversation about your workflow, and systems are rolled out in stages so the highest-value automation lands first.

How is client data handled?

Systems run on infrastructure operated for your firm, and communications go through established providers your firm already uses — Google Workspace and standard SMS and email services. Client data is used only to run your firm's workflows. It is never sold or shared.

Have a question that isn't here?

Ask it directly — call or send a message and we'll give you a straight answer about whether this fits your practice.
