The Problem
Challenges Law Firms Face.
Sound familiar? You're not alone.
The Courtroom Conflict
You're in trial. Your phone is off. A big case calls and gets voicemail. They call the next attorney on their list immediately.
The After-Hours Emergency
Arrests happen at midnight. Accidents happen on weekends. Your office hours don't match their emergencies, and 32% of calls arrive outside weekday 9-to-5 (Voksha After-Hours Economy report).
The Intake Bottleneck
Your staff is drowning in calls. Some are just shopping around. Others are serious cases that need attention right now.
Billable Hour Bleed
A full-time receptionist costs a median of $38,010 a year in wages alone (BLS), plus benefits and training, and still can't cover nights and weekends.

Capture opposing party names and case details on the call, so your team can run its conflict check before the consultation.
Comparison
AI Receptionist vs Front Desk
vs Voicemail.
The three ways law firms handle inbound calls, compared on the things that actually decide the outcome.
| What happens when | Voksha (AI) | Human front desk | Voicemail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Answering a 2am arrest call | Answered and screened right away, and you're alerted | Only if you pay for overnight cover | Goes to voicemail; most callers hang up |
| Running the full intake script | Every question, every call, in your order | Depends who picked up and how busy they are | None |
| Conflict-check details captured | Adverse party and related names captured on the call | Usually, if trained to ask | None |
| Screening out-of-practice-area matters | Screened before an attorney is involved | Yes, with training | No; you find out on the callback |
| Monthly cost | $14 to $99 | BLS median wage of $38,010 a year, before benefits | $0, plus the cases you lose |
| Spanish-speaking callers | English on Starter, two languages on Premium, more on Enterprise | Only if you hire for it | None |
