First impressions determine retention rates. When prospective clients reach out during high-stress legal situations, response velocity and zero-friction onboarding make the decisive difference.
“Firms that respond to prospective client inquiries within 15 minutes convert 391% more retainers than firms that wait 24 hours.”

Self-Service Digital Forms
Prospective clients input conflict details and matter specifics directly from their mobile phones.
Automated E-Sign Agreements
Generate fee agreements and retainer authorization instantly with pre-populated matter data.
Direct Trust Account Deposits
Accept credit card and e-check retainers into IOLTA compliant trust accounts upon signature.
Traditional intake methods—paper clipboards, PDF attachments, and manual data transcription—are the largest source of prospective client abandonment.
The 15-minute intake window
Research consistently demonstrates that legal consumers evaluate multiple firms simultaneously. The first qualified attorney who demonstrates competence and provides a clear path forward wins the client.
Smart dynamic questionnaires
Dynamic conditional logic ensures clients only answer questions pertinent to their specific legal issue. A personal injury inquiry sees questions about accident dates and insurance carriers, while a corporate client answers business formation prompts.
Instant conflict checks & retainer signing
By running automated conflict searches across your existing database before scheduling consultations, staff avoid wasted consultation hours and prevent ethical disqualifications.
Measuring intake conversion metrics
Track your inquiry-to-consultation and consultation-to-retainer percentages weekly. Continuous refinement of your intake pipeline directly drives bottom-line firm profitability.
