You're in court until noon. Every new-client call goes to voicemail.
Someone with a new legal problem calls firms down the list until a person answers. By the time you're out of court and returning calls, the 10 AM caller has already hired the firm that picked up. Your paralegal can't take every intake call and still get the filings out.
Here's the same week with Clarky answering for a law firm, step by step.
One client, start to finish.
Clarky answers every call, chat, text and email for your firm, including the ones that come in while you're in court. It asks your intake questions and books the consult on your calendar, or holds it for your approval. Every conversation lands in your inbox and on the contact, so you walk into the consult knowing the story.

The honest answers.
Will it give legal advice?
It's built to answer only from what you give it, like your practice areas, fees and intake steps. When the answer isn't there, it says so instead of guessing. You can add rules of your own too, like never estimating what a case is worth.
Who at the firm can see what a caller tells it?
Everyone signs in as themselves, and admins choose which areas each user can open, inbox included. Mark a contact, intake form or recording private, and only its owner and your admins can see it.
Can it run a conflict check?
Not against your case management software, which it doesn't connect to. It can ask for the other party's name during intake, and with approval turned on, no consult is confirmed until you've checked.
Will it email a potential client without us seeing it?
Not unless you turn that on. Each email address is set to Draft for me (the default) or AI replies, and on Draft for me nothing goes out until someone at the firm sends it.
Tonight's calls can go to voicemail, or they can go on the calendar.
