How does Voksha actually handle a call that comes in while an attorney is in trial?

When an attorney's phone is off or on silent during trial, calls that would otherwise go to voicemail (where 80% of potential clients simply hang up and call the next firm rather than leave a message) are answered live by Voksha within the same call. The caller goes through the same intake flow they would with a human receptionist: Voksha identifies which practice area the call relates to, asks the configured qualifying questions (case type, urgency, whether they've spoken to another attorney), and, if the matter fits your firm's practice areas and there is calendar availability, offers to book a consultation directly, checking the relevant attorney's calendar in real time rather than promising a callback and hoping the slot is still open when someone gets to it. If the attorney the caller needs is the one currently in trial, Voksha books into that attorney's next available slot, or routes to a partner or associate configured as backup for urgent matters. The full summary, including the caller's answers and any appointment booked, is available immediately, so the moment the attorney steps out of the courtroom for a recess or the trial day ends, they can see exactly who called and what was captured, rather than a list of missed-call numbers with no context. This is the specific gap Voksha is built to close for litigators: the hours when an attorney is legitimately unreachable are exactly the hours a prospective client is most likely to give up and call the next name on their list.
