BILINGUAL INTAKE

Lead intake is the most expensive thing a paralegal does.

Every call that goes to voicemail is a client who hires the next firm in the search results. But a paralegal at $35/hour answering reception calls is a million-dollar-a-year drag on your top of funnel.

Swiftlee runs your intake script — including conflict-check questions, jurisdiction, urgency, and matter type — for less than the cost of a single billable hour per week.

How we handle your calls

Built for legal intake, not generic call answering.

We know what a conflict check is. We know not to give legal advice. We know that an in-custody divorce client at 9pm is not the same as a slip-and-fall asking for a quote.

📋

Custom intake forms by practice area

PI, family, criminal, immigration, estate — your fields, your questions, your jurisdiction rules. Captured exactly the way your paralegal would.

⚠️

Conflict-check question first

Before any matter details, we ask the parties' names. Flagged in your portal if there's a potential conflict before you ever return the call.

🌐

Bilingual intake (no upcharge)

Spanish-speaking callers get the same warm, professional intake. Translation handoffs are a thing of the past.

FAQ

Legal answering, answered.

Can Swiftlee handle new-client intake for my law firm?

Yes. We answer in your firm's name and follow your custom intake script — capturing the caller's name, contact information, matter type, and the details you ask for. Each intake is delivered to you with a recording, transcript, and structured summary in your portal.

Are calls answered in Spanish as well as English?

Yes. Every receptionist is bilingual. Calls begin in English and switch to Spanish whenever a caller prefers it, so you can serve Spanish-speaking clients without a separate line.

Is the answering service available 24/7?

Yes — around the clock, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Callers never reach voicemail. You decide which calls are transferred to you and which are taken as messages for follow-up.

Will you transfer urgent calls to an attorney?

Yes. You define what qualifies as urgent and where it should go. We warm-transfer those calls to your cell or your team with the caller's context on screen, and take a complete message if no one is available.
