Someone's just been arrested or hurt and they're calling firms one after another — the attorney who answers first is usually the one they hire.
Pocket Funnel answers every call and text 24/7, qualifies the customer the way your best dispatcher would, and books the job into the software you already run — then reports the recovered revenue to your phone.

A typical Law Firm service call is worth about $1,500 (an after-hours call, closer to $2,500; a replacement, $7,500). Recover just one missed job a week and that's about $6,000/month back in your pocket — the kind of number the free audit estimates for your actual phone.
Illustration using industry-benchmark averages, not a promise. Tickets: Martindale-Nolo / attorney-fee guides (2025), CONSERVATIVE + highly variable (PI is contingency; case values range enormously — every firm sets its own avg). Leakage floors are cross-industry (contractor-derived) proxies; legal urgent-intake after-hours volume is real (arrests/injuries) so the floor is defensible.
We triage Law Firm calls the way you would
The front office knows the difference between an emergency and a routine job — because it's tuned to your trade, not a generic script.
- emergencyjust arrested / in custody / injury just happened / imminent deadline
Time-sensitive: get their name, callback number, and what happened + any deadline (arraignment, statute, court date), and route to an attorney immediately — the first firm to respond usually earns the case. Do NOT give legal advice on the call.
- urgentactive matter — considering a case, needs a consult soon
Book a consultation quickly while they're deciding; capture the practice area + a one-line summary so the attorney is prepared. Don't prejudge whether they 'have a case'.
- standardgeneral inquiry / planning (estate, contract review, non-urgent)
Schedule a consult into the next available window; capture the matter type + contact.
