Intake every client before
they call the next firm.

Legal intake is a race most firms are quietly losing. A prospect researching a personal injury claim, a divorce, an estate matter, or a business dispute will call several firms in a single sitting. The one that picks up, listens, and books a consultation almost always earns the retainer — regardless of reputation or billboard budget. Yet attorneys are in depositions, in court, or with clients, and the front desk cannot answer three lines at once. Nights and weekends, when much of this urgent research actually happens, calls go straight to an answering machine no one calls back.

Portico is a voice agent built to close that gap without adding a night receptionist or an offshore call center that misspells names and mangles case details. It answers on the first ring, day or night, and speaks naturally in English and French. It runs your intake questionnaire word for word, qualifies the matter against your acceptance criteria, books the consultation on the right attorney's calendar, and hands your team a clean, confidential summary of every call. It never gives legal advice, never quotes a fee it should not, and never loses a lead to voicemail. The result is a fuller pipeline of qualified consultations — captured while your competitors are still checking their messages Monday morning.
