How a Legal Answering Service Helps Attorneys Bill More Hours
When you’re billing by the hour, time is literally money. Yet many attorneys spend countless hours answering calls, chasing leads, or managing scheduling—time that could be spent preparing cases or meeting with clients. That’s where a legal answering service comes in.
At Cloud Answering, we provide live, professionally trained virtual receptionists who act as an extension of your firm. Here’s how our service helps attorneys bill more hours, grow revenue, and stay focused.
Save Time on Non-Billable Admin
Legal admin tasks like answering intake calls, confirming appointments, or redirecting inquiries to the right person are essential—but they don’t bring in billable income. Our receptionists take that burden off your shoulders.
- We answer every call live
- Follow your custom script and intake questions
- Capture case details accurately and securely
Never Miss a Case Opportunity
Studies show that 35–50% of clients hire the first attorney who responds. Missed calls = lost clients. Our legal answering service ensures:
- Calls are picked up by a live person
- Urgent cases get flagged and routed fast
- Messages are delivered in real-time via email
Safe, Secure, and Professional
Cloud Answering’s receptionists are trained with sensitive matters in mind. Whether you’re in family law, estate planning, or criminal defense, we know how to handle calls with care.
