Questions

Can an AI receptionist handle intake for a law firm?

Yes. Wakato's receptionist answers, asks your intake questions, books the consult and saves everything to the contact.

Will the AI give legal advice?

No. It handles calls, intake, booking and follow-up and passes anything that needs your judgement to you; it never gives professional advice.

How much does an AI receptionist cost for a law firm?

Wakato is free to start; Pro is $49 a month and Business $99 a month, or $490 and $990 when paid yearly. Paid consults and invoices come with Pro and Business. Calls, texts and AI use are paid from your wallet as you use them, with no per-seat price.

Is an AI receptionist a good idea for a small law firm?

It is when missed calls cost you new matters: the receptionist answers every call and message, asks your intake questions and books the consult, while anything about a case goes to you. You write its rules in plain words and can make any action wait for your approval.

Does the AI decide whether we take a case?

No. It collects the facts you ask for, such as the type of matter, the other party's name for your conflict check and how to reach the caller, then books the consult. Whether you take the case is always your decision.

Can it book consultations into my Google Calendar?

Yes. Wakato's booking pages check your connected Google or Outlook calendar so consults land only in free time, and each booking can be copied onto that calendar. Clients get a reminder before the meeting.

Can I keep my firm's existing phone number?

Yes. Keep your number and forward its calls to a business number you get in Wakato, which the agent answers; most carriers let you forward every call or only the ones you miss. The agent can transfer a caller back to you when your rules say so.
