Law firm answering service

Are you missing out on business because you’re missing their phone calls? A law firm answering service can help. We have all the answers you need below.

What is a law firm answering service?

A law firm answering service is a specialized tool used by law firms to ensure quality experiences for their prospective and existing clients. While most law firms have a 9-5 receptionist or other phone answering staff, a law firm answering service employs virtual receptionists at a call center or other remote location to ensure 24/7 coverage for law firms.

Specialized services like law firm answering services serve a specific niche, and the reason this particular niche exists is because law firms have specific needs from their phone answering staff. Your clients expect a certain level of service, and each new client call could represent thousands of dollars in revenue for your firm.

Do you need a law firm answering service?

Are you missing calls from new leads?

A missed call all but means they’re calling up your competition. If another firm gets back to someone in need of legal help before you do, you’re likely to lose out on their business. A law firm answering service will make sure that doesn’t happen.

Are you sending clients to voicemail?

Clients hate voicemail; it makes them feel ignored. A law firm answering service, on the other hand, will make sure every client feels like their concerns have been addressed. After explaining the reason for their call to a virtual receptionist, they’ll be much more likely to wait patiently for your response.

Are you spending too much time on the phone?

A law firm answering service will net you more time to focus on your work. If you’re constantly picking up the phone, you’ll never get anything done. Sending your calls to a virtual receptionist will ensure you only speak to the most important callers.
