SMS Chatbot for Law Firms
Law firms receive many enquiries that need triage — which practice area, is it a fit, is there a conflict — before an attorney should spend time on them.
Two-way AI text messaging that answers questions, confirms details and follows up by SMS, which is useful when customers won't install an app or open email.

Frequently asked questions
- What can an SMS chatbot do for law firms?
- Two-way AI text messaging that answers questions, confirms details and follows up by SMS, which is useful when customers won't install an app or open email. For law firms, common starting points are intake: collecting the basic facts of a potential matter; routing enquiries to the right practice area or attorney; scheduling consultations and answering questions about fees and process.
- Does it work with the tools law firms already use?
- Yes — the goal is to fit around legal practice management and intake software, document management and calendars, not replace them. SMS runs through a carrier-registered number and syncs replies to your CRM, scheduling or ticketing system.
- How long does rollout take?
- Business texting in the US requires carrier registration (10DLC) and clear opt-in, so setup covers number registration and consent language as well as the conversation design.
- How is legal advice and confidentiality handled?
- The assistant should never give legal advice. It can be scripted to collect facts, explain process and book consultations, with clear disclaimers and a quick route to a person.
