The firm that answers first signs the client.
Legal intake is decided in minutes. Someone who just had a wreck, got served, or was fired is calling three firms, and the one that picks up gets the consultation. GoodLine answers every call, runs your intake script, screens for conflicts and jurisdiction, and books the calendar.
New PI intake. Rear-end MVA 9/10, ER treated, report filed, Cook County. Adverse insurer already calling — advised to hold. Consult Wed 9:30 AM.
Three reasons your phone rings out
Prospects call three firms and hire the first answer
Legal intake has almost no loyalty before the first conversation. Voicemail in that window doesn't delay the client — it loses them entirely.
You're in court when the phone rings
Hearings, depositions, and client meetings are exactly when new matters call. Nobody in the building can pick up, and the caller is not leaving a message.
Most callers aren't your case
Wrong practice area, wrong state, outside the statute, or just looking for free advice. Sorting them takes a paralegal's whole morning.
What it asks before anything gets booked
Built from how a law firm actually triages a call — not a generic "name and number" form. You approve every question and every rule before it goes live.
- What happened, and what date did it happen?
- Which county and state are you in?
- Have you spoken with or hired another attorney?
- Was there a police report, and have you been treated?
- Has anyone from an insurer contacted you?
- Arrest, custody, or a hearing inside 48 hours
- A statute of limitations date within days
- A restraining order or emergency custody matter
Three steps. You keep your number.
Forward the calls you miss
One short code dialled on your phone sends busy, no-answer, and unreachable calls to GoodLine instead of voicemail. Your number and caller ID don't change.
About 2 minutesWe build your script
A 20-minute call covers your service area, hours, pricing rules, what counts as an emergency, and where jobs get booked. You listen to test calls and tell us what to change.
Done for youIt answers around the clock
Every missed call gets picked up, triaged, and booked — with a text summary, recording, and transcript sent to you, and emergencies escalated to your cell.
Live in about a dayWhat are your missed calls worth?
Pre-filled with typical numbers for a law firm. Change them to yours — your call log will tell you the first one.
Illustrative only — arithmetic on the numbers above, not a projection from other customers' results.
