For solo lawyers
The best AI receptionist
for solo lawyers.
Family, immigration, estate cases. Emotional calls need a real human voice immediately.
A Saturday morning, told straight
A divorce enquiry isn't a £200 hour. It's the next eighteen months of your case load.
It's a Tuesday morning. Someone has just decided this is the week she's leaving her marriage. She's at her sister's kitchen table with a cup of tea, looking up family solicitors in her town. She finds three. She rings them in order.
You're in court. Your phone is on silent. The first ring goes to voicemail; she doesn't leave one. By 11am she's spoken to a solicitor at a practice up the road and booked an initial consultation for Thursday. That case will run eighteen months, four court appearances, and somewhere between £6,000 and £15,000 in fees. All decided by who picked up at 9.47am on a Tuesday.
Foan picks up in two seconds, in the calm, considered voice your clients expect from a solicitor's office. Asks what kind of matter she's calling about, takes brief notes, checks her availability for a consultation, sends a confidentiality-friendly intake form by text. Drops the booking into your diary. You walk out of court at lunchtime to one notification: "new initial consultation, Thursday 4pm, family."
Solo and small-practice solicitors lose more revenue to missed calls than to anything else. Foan at £999 a month is the first hour of one decent matter. A practice that takes on one extra case a year because of it has a 10x return.
This is exactly why the Established tier exists. The market doesn't reward solicitors for their voicemail strategy.
Same pattern works for immigration enquiries, probate, conveyancing, and the personal-injury initial consultations that decide whether you keep the file or refer it on.
