The AI receptionist built
for sensitive family law matters.

Capture household, custody, and case background details from the first interaction, with the consistency and care your most vulnerable clients deserve.

The problem

A missed intake means a family in crisis has nowhere to turn.

Inconsistent intake costs firms their most vulnerable clients.

Delayed response drives prospects to other firms

Prospective clients in custody or divorce situations are often contacting multiple firms at once. A slow callback means they retain someone else before you return the call.

Sensitive details are captured inconsistently

Household composition, timelines, and urgency indicators are collected differently depending on who answers, leading to incomplete case evaluations and missed context.

Urgent matters are not flagged in time

Protective orders, custody emergencies, and filing deadlines require immediate escalation. Manual triage often misses the signals until it is too late to act.

What modern family law intake requires

Three requirements. All three, every call.

If any one of these is missing, cases are lost.

01

Thoughtful Interaction

Family law clients are often in distress. Intake must lead with empathy and structure, not a checklist. The caller must feel heard before they feel processed.

02

Thorough Qualification

Custody composition, income details, existing orders, and urgency indicators must be collected consistently so attorneys can evaluate each matter accurately.

03

Reliable Availability

Family emergencies do not follow business hours. Firms that answer at 9 PM on a Thursday win clients that firms with standard hours never even speak to.

Existing solutions

Existing solutions fall short.

Firms try to solve intake by hiring more staff or outsourcing to answering services. Each approach may improve coverage, but the tradeoffs are costly.

Family law intake done correctly

Family law intake is not just about collecting information. It is about building trust quickly.

01 · Thoughtful Intake

Structured intake flows that lead with care.

Miranda collects key family law details for custody, support, and divorce matters with consistency and care. The caller feels heard, not processed. Household composition, timelines, and urgency indicators are captured in a structured schema every time, regardless of when the call comes in.

  • Pre-built playbooks for divorce, custody, support, and protective orders
  • Urgency indicators flagged automatically: DV history, active orders, minor children
  • Caller receives a summary of next steps before the call ends

  • Books to Calendly, Google Calendar, or Outlook in real time
  • Confirmation sent to the caller via text immediately after booking
  • Attorney receives a pre-read brief before the consult

No prospective client falls through the cracks.

  • Multi-channel sequences across SMS, email, and voice
  • Triggered automatically when intake is incomplete or a consult is missed
  • All follow-up activity logged in the firm portal for attorney review

  • Routes by matter type: divorce, custody, support, domestic violence
  • Urgent matters flagged and escalated in real time
  • Reduces friction between first contact and first legal response
