    AI intake & follow-up for law firms

    The case that calls at 11 PM. The signed-up client who never calls back. The aged consult list collecting dust. Woodpeker AI and Mockingjay AI handle intake, nurture, and follow-up the way a great paralegal would — with bar-compliant language, attorney-client privilege protections, and no UPL exposure.

    The law firm reality

    Cases come in. Most never become clients.

    42%

    Of intake calls go to voicemail

    After-hours, lunch breaks, conflicts on the line — when a potential client calls and gets voicemail, they call the next firm on Google. The case is gone before you ever knew it existed.

    $12K

    Average value of a lost PI case

    Every PI lead that doesn't get a real intake within the hour is a six-figure case settled at another firm. The cost of slow follow-up isn't intake — it's lifetime case value.

    67%

    Of signed clients never get a status update

    Once the retainer is signed, clients hear nothing for weeks. Bar complaints, fee disputes, and 1-star reviews almost always start with 'I couldn't get anyone on the phone.'

    AI infrastructure built for law firms

    How Visibility works
    What your customers are asking AI

    The consultation starts with an AI recommendation.

    Are you in the answer?

    “Best personal injury lawyer in [city]?”

    Are you in the answer?

    “Which divorce attorneys near me offer free consultations?”

    Are you in the answer?

    “Who's a good workers' comp lawyer in [city]?”

    Real law firm workflows

    What this looks like in your firm

    24/7 intake coverage

    Saturday at 9 PM. Potential client just got into a serious car accident and is calling personal injury firms from the ER. Mockingjay answers, captures the basic facts, screens for conflicts, books a Monday morning consultation, and sends your intake team the case file before the ambulance pulls away. By the time the next firm's voicemail finishes playing, you've already signed the consult.

    • Mockingjay: After-hours intake with bar-compliant scripts and conflict screening
    • Woodpeker: Immediate SMS confirmation, intake documents, and consultation prep

    Web lead instant response

    Web form submissions are the worst-converting lead source in legal — most firms respond 4-6 hours later. Woodpeker engages every form fill in under two minutes with a real conversation that qualifies the matter, captures basic case facts, and books the consult. Mockingjay calls the high-value leads who reply but don't book.

    • Woodpeker: Sub-2-minute SMS qualification on every web lead, 24/7
    • Mockingjay: Outbound calls on engaged leads who don't self-book

    Aged consult reactivation

    Twelve months of free consultations that never signed. They didn't say no — they just got distracted. Woodpeker runs reactivation sequences that catch them when their situation has changed (statute of limitations approaching, new injury, new dispute) and re-engages without spamming.

    • Woodpeker: Practice-area-specific SMS reactivation sequences with appropriate cadence
    • Mockingjay: Outbound calls on engaged replies to set the consult

    Client case status updates

    Signed clients calling your front desk asking 'what's happening with my case' is the #1 source of bar complaints. Woodpeker sends automated milestone updates pulled from your case management system — demand sent, defendant served, deposition scheduled — so clients know they haven't been forgotten.

    • Woodpeker: SMS milestone updates synced from Clio, Filevine, or your CMS
    • Mockingjay: Monthly check-in calls for high-touch clients (PI, family, criminal)

    Document collection & intake completion

    The retainer is signed but the medical records, police reports, and tax returns never come in. Cases stall. Woodpeker runs document collection sequences with smart follow-up cadence. Mockingjay calls the clients who go silent on email and SMS.

    • Woodpeker: Automated SMS document request sequences with reminders
    • Mockingjay: Outbound calls on stalled document collection
    Built for legal's ethical reality

    Bar rules, UPL, and privilege protections built in

    Legal sits in a tighter ethical frame than any other industry we work with. Model Rule 7.3 on solicitation. UPL exposure on intake conversations. Attorney-client privilege from the first contact.

    Law firm questions

    Not when configured correctly — and that's the entire point of how we set up legal deployments. The AI never offers legal advice, never evaluates the merits of a case, never gives strategy. It captures facts, screens for conflicts, books consultations, and sends the file to your attorneys. Same scope as a trained non-attorney intake specialist. We've reviewed our scripts against ABA Model Rule 5.5 and state UPL statutes.
