The problem

Why family law firms miss so many calls

Somebody ringing a family solicitor has worked up to it, and if nobody answers they may not ring again for weeks.

When the phone rings out

  • evenings, when people can ring privately
  • during court and client meetings
  • the first week of January, the busiest of the year

What they are ringing about

  • divorce and separation
  • arrangements for children
  • what a first appointment costs

What that costs a single site

£66,000

a month, on conservative assumptions

About 21 missed calls a week. Assume only a third would have become customers, that is roughly 7 a week, and one customer is worth £2,200 to a family law firm. Change any of those to your own figures and the answer stays uncomfortable.

What it does

Built around how a family law firm actually works

Takes enquiries calmly and without pressure

Runs conflict checks before booking

Explains your first appointment and fee

Handles the January surge

It tells callers what it is

It says it is an assistant when it picks up. It gives no advice it is not qualified to give, and anything on your escalation list stops the conversation and reaches you straight away. For a family law firm that matters more than the clever bits, because the calls you cannot afford to get wrong are the ones you most need answered.

Questions

What family law firms ask us

These calls are sensitive. Is that appropriate?

It is calm, unhurried and never pushes anybody. It says it is an assistant, takes the details and books the appointment. Many callers prefer that to explaining themselves twice.

Can it run conflict checks?

It asks for the other party's name and checks against what you make available, flagging anything that matches before an appointment is offered.

What about January?

The first working week of January is the busiest in family law by a distance, and it is answered in full rather than in part.
