Challenges Lawyers Face Daily
Understanding the unique pressures of legal practices helps us deliver better solutions.
Client Confidentiality During Intake
Initial client calls often involve sensitive details about legal matters, but receptionists may not be trained to handle confidential information appropriately.
Improper handling of initial consultations can expose firms to ethics violations and damage client trust before representation even begins.
Conflict of Interest Checks
New client inquiries require immediate conflict screening, but front desk staff often lack access to conflict databases during initial calls.
Delayed conflict checks mean potential clients may share privileged information before conflicts are identified, creating liability exposure.
After-Hours Legal Emergencies
Criminal arrests, family emergencies, and urgent court matters happen outside business hours when no one is available to answer.
Competitors who answer 24/7 capture time-sensitive cases. One missed criminal defense call can mean $10,000-50,000 in lost fees.
Court Appearance Conflicts
Lawyers spend significant time in court, depositions, and client meetings where they cannot answer calls.
Studies show lawyers miss 35% of calls during business hours due to court appearances, losing both new clients and frustrating existing ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from legal professionals about our AI phone answering service.
How does Dialbox handle client confidentiality?
Dialbox takes client confidentiality extremely seriously. Our system is designed with robust security measures that comply with industry standards for data protection. All call data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and access is strictly controlled. Our AI is trained to collect only necessary information without pressing for sensitive details that should be discussed directly with an attorney. We also offer customizable data retention policies to align with your firm's confidentiality requirements and ethical obligations. Additionally, all our systems and processes are regularly audited to ensure ongoing compliance with privacy regulations.
Can Dialbox help with client intake for different practice areas?
Yes, Dialbox can be configured to handle client intake for multiple practice areas within your firm. Our AI can be trained with specific question sets for different legal specialties, ensuring that the right information is collected based on the caller's needs. For example, the system will ask different questions for a potential personal injury case versus an estate planning inquiry. This specialized approach helps you gather the most relevant information before the initial consultation, making your client meetings more productive. The intake data is automatically organized and can be integrated with your case management software, streamlining your workflow.
How does Dialbox handle potential conflicts of interest?
Dialbox can be configured to perform preliminary conflict checks during the initial call. Our AI can collect the names of all parties involved in a potential case and cross-reference this information with your existing client database. If a potential conflict is detected, the system can immediately notify the appropriate person at your firm while still providing a professional experience for the caller. This early detection helps protect your firm from ethical issues and saves time by identifying conflicts before scheduling consultations. The system can also be programmed with your firm's specific conflict check protocols to ensure consistent application of your policies.
