Why law firms lose leads after the click

The problems we fix

  1. 01

    Leads arrive everywhere and live nowhere

    Calls go to the front desk, web forms land in someone's inbox, ad leads sit in a separate dashboard. With no single record, nobody knows who has been contacted, and prospective clients fall through the gaps.

  2. 02

    Follow-up depends on who remembers

    A prospect who doesn't book on the first call needs several touches, and busy staff rarely have time for them. The person who wanted to hire you ends up calling the next firm on the list.

  3. 03

    Consultations get lost in back-and-forth

    Scheduling by phone tag and email chains slows everything down. Every extra day between inquiry and consultation is a day the prospect keeps shopping.

  4. 04

    You can't see which marketing signs cases

    Without tracking from first touch to signed client, you're guessing which website pages, ads, and referral sources are worth the money and which aren't.

Intake is where cases are won or lost

Your marketing earns the inquiry. Your intake has to finish the job.

We build marketing for law firms, and we kept seeing the same thing: firms paying for traffic and calls, then losing a real share of those prospects to missed follow-up, slow scheduling, and leads nobody could find a week later.

So we build and run the system that catches them. One managed CRM that captures every inquiry, keeps follow-up going without anyone having to remember, and shows you which marketing actually brings in clients. We host it, maintain it, and adjust it as your intake changes.

  • Done for you: setup, automations, and maintenance
  • Built around your firm's real intake process
  • Measured in consultations booked, not logins

What we do

Built for law firms

01

Every Lead Captured in One Place

Website forms, tracked phone calls, chat, and Google Ads and LSA leads all flow into a single contact record automatically, tagged with the source they came from, so no inquiry depends on someone copying it over by hand.

  • Web forms and chat piped straight into the CRM
  • Call tracking tied to each contact
  • Ad and LSA leads captured with their source
  • Instant staff alerts for new inquiries

Intake Pipelines Built Around Your Practice

We map your real intake process into clear pipeline stages, from new inquiry through qualified, consult booked, and retained, so your team always knows what's next for every prospective client and nothing stalls unnoticed.

  • Custom stages for each practice area
  • Qualifying questions and intake notes on every record
  • Task assignments and reminders for staff
  • Conflict-check and hand-off steps where you need them

03

Automated Follow-Up and Consultation Booking

Multi-step text and email follow-up runs on its own until the prospect books, with online scheduling, confirmation messages, and reminders that cut down on no-shows. After a matter closes, the same system can send a review request.

  • Text and email sequences for unbooked leads
  • Online consultation booking synced to your calendar
  • Confirmations and reminders before every consult
  • Review requests sent when a matter wraps up

  • Lead-source reporting from first touch to retained
  • Monthly lead tracking reports
  • Connects to calendars, email, and payment tools
  • Practice-management hand-off where an integration or API exists
