Family, personal injury & criminal law

The worst night of someone's life doesn't wait until Monday.

People ring a lawyer at 9pm because something has just happened. An arrest. A crash. A partner who has left. They call three or four firms in twenty minutes, and the one that answers usually gets the matter.

01 / The gap

Your best matters arrive at the worst possible hour.

Legal enquiries follow events, and events don't respect office hours.

Distress doesn't leave voicemails

Somebody sitting outside a police station at eleven at night, or in a car after an incident at home, is not going to record a calm message and wait. They hang up and try the next number Google gave them.

They are calling several firms in the same ten minutes

Nobody in that position rings one firm. They work down the search results. The firm that picks up, or replies within a minute, has the conversation. Everyone else gets a matter that was already taken.

Weekends are where matters go to die

A Friday evening enquiry sits until Monday morning. By then the accident has an insurer's version of events, the arrest has a duty solicitor, and the family matter has a lawyer who answered on Saturday.

This isn't a marketing problem. You already appear in the search results. It's what happens in the ninety seconds after someone finds you.

02 / What changes

Every call gets a human-sounding reply within 30 seconds. Including at 2am.

01

A message that steadies them, in your firm's name

Not a marketing blast. A short, calm text saying the firm has their call, someone will speak with them, and asking the two or three things your team needs to know before they ring back. Written by you, approved by you, sent within 30 seconds.

02

Your team decides who gets called back and when

Not every after-hours enquiry is a matter you want. The engine captures the detail and puts it in front of your intake team with everything they need to make that judgement in the morning, instead of a missed-call notification with no context.

03

Enquiries that went quiet, worked again

Some people ring, get frightened by the cost, and go silent. Months later the situation has changed. A plain, professional message to your unclosed enquiries from the past year surfaces the ones who are ready now, and quietly filters out the rest.

04

Paid consultations, so your diary holds real matters

Where you charge for an initial conference, payment is taken at the time of booking. It's the cleanest filter there is between someone who needs a lawyer and someone shopping for a free opinion.

03 / The boundary

No matter detail. No file notes. No recordings. Ever.

Enquiries live with us. Clients live with you.

Our system handles people who have not yet become clients. It contains a name, a number, which channel they came through, and the appointment. That's the whole of it.

There are no file upload fields. No call recording, on any tier, as a deliberate design decision rather than a setting we could switch on. No free-text case-note boxes that invite a staff member to type something that should never leave your practice.

Privilege, conflict checks and your professional obligations stay entirely inside your own systems. We're the layer in front of the door, not a filing cabinet behind it.

If your professional indemnity insurer or practice manager wants specifics on how we handle data, we'll answer them directly. Our full position is set out at How We Handle Data.

04 / Investment

From $950 a month plus GST.

Three tiers, flat monthly retainers, one-time setup from $1,500. No commission, no percentage of your fees, no per-lead charges, and nothing that could be mistaken for fee sharing.

One recovered matter covers months of the system. See full pricing →

05 / Questions

Questions firms ask.

Could an automated reply ever be taken as legal advice?

No. Every template is written by you and approved before it goes live. The messages acknowledge the enquiry, ask for basic details, and arrange a time to speak. They say nothing about the matter itself.

Do you record calls?

No, on any tier. It isn't offered and it isn't available. NSW law is restrictive about recording private conversations, and a firm has no reason to take on that exposure through a marketing system.

How does this affect conflict checking?

It doesn't. Nothing in our system is a client engagement. Your conflict process runs exactly as it does now, before you take anyone on, using the same information you would have taken over the phone.

Do we keep our own number?

Yes. Nothing changes on your website, your letterhead or your Google listing. Calls forward to us only when nobody answers.

Can we stop it messaging certain people?

Yes. Any contact can be excluded, and anyone who replies STOP is removed immediately and permanently.

06 / The audit

Find out what happens when someone rings your firm at 9pm.

Give us your firm name and the number a client would call. We do the rest at our cost.

01

This week we call your published number after hours and submit an enquiry through your website, exactly as a prospective client would.

02

We log what happened and how long it took. Answered or not. Text back or silence. Callback time. Form response time.

03

You get a short video walking through the timeline. Yours to keep, whether or not we ever speak again.

We don't record calls.

If someone answers, we say who we are and hang up. The audit measures response times and timestamps, not conversations.

Prospects are calling your practice after hours. We'll show you what happens when they do.
