Frequently Asked Questions

Why are missed phone calls such a big deal for law firms?

Firms spend thousands generating leads, then lose them when nobody answers the phone, and missed calls can cost a law firm six figures. That's where AI agents handling client intake 24/7 come in. The lead that calls after hours still gets taken care of. Missed opportunities are missed revenue, so answer the damn phone.

Can lawyers trust AI to do legal work on its own?

AI can speed up work dramatically, but relying on it blindly creates serious legal and business risks. AI hallucinations are real, and attorneys have already been sanctioned for citing fake AI-generated cases in court. Eric's rule is to verify everything. AI is powerful, it still makes mistakes, and human review matters.

Will using AI make a firm lose the human touch with clients?

It doesn't have to. Eric's view is that technology should improve the customer experience and keep the human connection intact. Even when automation handles intake, people still want to feel heard, understood and cared for. Use AI to support your people, and remember that empathy still wins with clients.
