AI Phone Answering for Law Firms & Accountants

When attorneys and accountants are in court or client meetings, new client inquiries go to voicemail. We qualify and book them 24/7. High-value corporate, family, personal injury law firms, and CPA practices lose tens of thousands in retainer fees when urgent legal or tax inquiries reach answering machines. DigitalX deploys discreet, confidential AI receptionists that conduct intake triage, screen for practice area fit, and schedule billable consultations.

Industry Guidance

Frequently Asked Questions for Law Firms & Accounting Practices

Can the AI conduct initial conflict of interest checks?
Yes. The AI collects the caller's full legal name, the name of their company or opposing party, and the matter jurisdiction, and logs this directly into your CRM or practice management software for conflict clearance before the consultation begins.
Does it integrate with legal practice management systems like Clio or Smokeball?
Yes. We integrate with Clio, PracticePanther, Smokeball, Actionstep, and HubSpot. As soon as the call ends, a new matter record and calendar appointment are created automatically.
How does it protect client confidentiality and attorney-client privilege?
All voice data streams over encrypted TLS 1.3 connections and at-rest databases are encrypted with AES-256. We sign comprehensive Business Associate and data protection agreements, with zero sharing or training on third-party public AI models.
Can the AI explain consultation fees upfront so we don't waste time with free-advice seekers?
Yes. We configure the AI to state your initial consultation policy clearly (e.g. '$350 plus GST for an initial 45-minute strategy conference') and can collect payment before confirming the consultation.
