AI intake for new law firms: a front desk from day one

Opening a practice means every call matters and there is no one to answer them. Basalix AI gives a new firm a professional line and website chat that pick up 24/7, screen on rules you set in an afternoon, and book consultations while you build the book of business.

14-day free trial. No credit card, nothing auto-charges.

  1. CallerDo you handle green card applications? My wife needs to apply.
  2. BasalixYes, the firm handles family-based immigration. Is she already in the United States, and do you have a case number or prior filing?
  3. CallerShe's here on a student visa. Nothing filed yet.
  4. BasalixThank you. The attorney offers a consultation to go through the options. Would Tuesday at 4 p.m. or Wednesday at 10 a.m. work?

  • Web chat
  • Booked: Tuesday 4 p.m.

The problem

A new firm cannot afford to miss the phone

A receptionist is a salary

The first hire comes before the revenue that pays for it, and an answering service still only takes messages.

Your website is your office

Early clients find you online at night and expect an answer, not a contact form.

Every wrong call costs you

Without screening you spend the day on matters you do not take, in states you are not licensed in.

What it does

A front desk before your first hire

Set up in one sitting, priced monthly, and it grows with the firm.

  1. Gives you a line
    • New local number
    • Mobile forwarded
    • 24/7
  2. Puts chat on your site
    • Answers from your content
    • One line of code
  3. Screens from day one
    • Starter templates
    • Your states
  4. Keeps every lead
    • Matter list
    • Recordings
    • CSV or Google Sheet

Callers get an answer at 9 p.m. instead of a voicemail.

FAQ

Questions from new firms

Yes. Paste what you have, even a draft, or start from blank and answer a few questions about the firm. The chat widget can go on the site when it is live; the phone line works from day one.

Solo Intake is $349 a month with 500 voice minutes and 1,000 chat conversations included. Unused minutes are not a problem; you pay for the plan, not per call. There is no setup fee and no contract.

It sounds like a firm with a front desk. The agent greets in your firm’s name, says it is an automated assistant, asks your questions and books a real slot. Callers get an answer at 9 p.m. instead of a voicemail.

Change plans from the billing page. Firm Intake raises you to 1,200 minutes, five calls at once, three numbers, multiple offices and 20 team seats, and adds multi-office booking and priority support. The difference is prorated for the rest of the cycle.

Your first client should not reach voicemail.
