AI Receptionist for Law Firms: Built and Run for You
An AI receptionist for law firms that answers every call, runs first-touch client intake, and books consultations — so a potential client never reaches a competitor first.
For a law firm, the first call from a potential client often decides the matter — and many of those calls come when the office is closed or the line is busy. A caller who hits voicemail usually dials the next firm on the list. An AI receptionist answers every call instantly, runs a structured intake, and books the consultation while the lead is still warm. TendForce builds the agent on your intake script and practice areas, connects it to your calendar and case software, and runs it for you.
What your AI receptionist handles for the firm
24/7 call answering
Every prospective-client call is answered live — evenings, weekends, and the busy stretches that go to voicemail today.
New-client intake
Runs a structured intake script — matter type, key facts, contact details, and the conflict-relevant information your attorneys need — and delivers it to you organized.
Lead qualification
Screens for the practice areas you take, flags time-sensitive matters, and filters spam, so your team's time goes to real prospects — including the volume of calls a personal injury firm sees.
Consultation booking
Books consultations directly into your calendar while the caller is on the line, and connects to practice-management software such as Clio. We confirm your setup on the discovery call.
Honest, defined scope
The agent gathers information and books appointments — it does not give legal advice. Anything that calls for legal judgment is routed to an attorney, by design.
Confidentiality and routing
We scope the agent to collect only what intake requires and protect that information. Existing clients and opposing counsel are recognized and routed to the right person.

Frequently asked questions
Can it run our specific intake questions?
Yes. We script the intake around your practice areas and the exact information your attorneys need before a consultation — including the conflict-relevant details you ask every new caller.
Does an AI receptionist give legal advice?
No — and it is explicitly built not to. It answers calls, gathers intake information, qualifies leads, and books consultations. Anything that calls for legal judgment is routed to an attorney at your firm.
How does it handle client confidentiality?
We scope the agent to collect only what intake requires, protect that information, and route sensitive calls to your team. We review the setup with you before launch — a careful build supports your confidentiality obligations but does not replace your firm's own duties.
Is this a fit for solo and small law firms?
Especially so. Solo and small firms lose the most to missed calls — an AI receptionist gives you the always-on intake coverage of a larger firm without hiring front-desk staff.
