Missed calls at a law firm
Every missed call might be a new matter. A small firm with one receptionist feels this most during lunch, court days and after hours.
Find the gaps
Look at call logs for unanswered calls by day and hour. Note how many left voicemails and how many were called back the same day.
Fix the predictable ones
- Cover lunch and breaks with forwarding
- Plan for court days when staff are out
- Set a same-day callback rule
- Add overflow coverage for peak times
Recover lost leads
Return voicemails quickly and keep your message short and warm. If a caller says they already hired someone, thank them and leave the door open.
Consider intake automation
If gaps remain, see how AI intake can cover them with attorneys still deciding what to accept.
Common questions
