AI Chat & Phone Agent
This Southern California law firm was hemorrhaging potential clients after hours. With a small intake team that clocked out at 5 PM, over 60% of inquiries that came in during evenings and weekends went unanswered until the next business day. By then, most prospects had already called a competitor.
The firm tracked their missed calls for one month and found that 73% of after-hours inquiries never converted — not because the leads were bad, but because the firm was simply too slow. In a market where personal injury and family law prospects contact 3-4 firms simultaneously, response time was the deciding factor.
Their existing answering service was generic, couldn't qualify leads, and often frustrated callers with scripted responses that didn't address their specific legal concerns.
We deployed a custom AI agent trained on the firm's 500+ case type library, including intake questions specific to personal injury, family law, estate planning, and business litigation. The agent could intelligently triage inquiries, assess case viability, and schedule consultations — all within the first 30 seconds of contact.
The system integrated directly with their practice management software (Clio) and Google Calendar, automatically creating client records and booking consultations during available slots. For complex or high-value cases, the agent flagged them for immediate attorney callback.
We also built an escalation framework: if the AI detected emotional distress, urgency, or case complexity beyond its training, it seamlessly handed off to an on-call attorney with full conversation context.
Audited 500+ case types, mapped intake workflows, identified qualification criteria for each practice area.
Trained the AI on case-specific intake questions, firm policies, fee structures, and escalation rules.
Connected to Clio, Google Calendar, and phone system. Ran 200+ simulated conversations with edge cases.
Launched with live monitoring. Refined responses based on real conversations and attorney feedback.

Intake quality matters as much as speed. Faster responses only convert if the AI asks the right qualifying questions upfront.
Escalation rules need to be specific and attorney-approved. We iterated three times before the handoff criteria matched the firm's standards.
The biggest ROI came from weekend inquiries — a segment the firm had essentially written off before the AI agent went live.
“We were losing after-hours inquiries left and right. Aurograil set up an AI agent that now handles 85% of initial consultations on its own. Response time dropped from 4 hours to 30 seconds, and qualified leads are up 40%.”
