The Most Expensive Calls Your Firm Takes Are The Ones That Never Become Cases Where Are People Looking to Vent And Get Free Legal Advice.

▸ Your paralegals work very hard at their jobs.

▸ That's the problem. When someone calls in upset, scared, or just looking for someone to listen, your team does what good people do.

▸ They stay on the line. They gather some facts. They calm the caller down and walk them through what happens next.

▸ Then the call ends, and there was never a case there at all.

▸ The next thing you know, two hours of their day was spent on go-nowhere calls.

▸ It happens dozens of times a week. Each one feels small. Together, they quietly drain the hours you're actually in business to bill.

Handles all of it for a tiny fraction of the cost. Freeing up your team to focus on billable work.

You're already paying for intake. Right now it just costs multiple times more than it needs to and ties up your best people.

From The Very First Ring, Clara Handles The Part of Intake That's Been Eating Your Team Alive.

Here's what happens on every call…

1

Clara answers, every time

The moment a prospective client calls, Clara picks up in a calm, professional voice and starts the conversation. No voicemail, no hold music, no missed opportunities because it's after 5pm. She never misses a call, and she never takes a day off.

2

Clara asks the right questions

Clara runs the intake flow built for your practice areas, whether the caller is dealing with a wrongful termination, an injury, an estate plan, an elder law matter, a tax issue or just about any other kind of issue that your firm can help with. She listens, gathers the facts that matter, and lets the caller feel heard, without tying up anyone on your team.

3

Clara hands you a clean file

The second the call ends, the full transcript, audio recording, plain-English summary, contact details, and structured notes land in your dashboard. You're notified right away. Nothing to chase down, nothing lost on a sticky note.

4

You decide what happens next

An attorney reviews the intake and tells the paralegal what to do next. Book the consult, or tell them you aren't the right fit to help them. Either way, your team starts from a clean, complete picture instead of a cold phone ringing at the worst possible moment.

Clara Does the Listening. You do the Lawyering.

Everything Your Team Needs to Review, Route, and Close, Without Touching A Dead-End Call

Features

AI Voice Intake

Both in English and Spanish, Clara answers in a calm, natural voice and guides the caller through a real conversation, so every caller feels heard and your team stays off the phone.

Practice-Area Screening

Built for smaller personal law firms. Clara asks the right questions for the matter at hand, so what lands on your desk is already sorted.

Full Transcript

Every word, captured and searchable. Settle "what did they actually say" in seconds instead of trusting a hurried note.

Audio Recording

The complete call, saved. Replay anything for review, training, or the record.

Caller Contact Capture

Name, phone, email, mailing address, and more, all in one place. When you decide to call back, you're not hunting for a number.

AI Summary + Notes

The short version first. Your attorney reads a clean summary in thirty seconds and knows whether it's worth a callback before opening the full file.

Instant Notifications

You're alerted the moment a new intake lands and when a callback is due. No good lead goes cold, no follow-up slips through the cracks.

Firm-Tailored Setup

Clara is configured around your practice areas, your intake priorities, and the way your firm already works. She fits your process, not the other way around.

Practice Areas

If your phone rings all day, Clara was built for you

Clara is made for the firms that live with high call volume, the ones where the same kinds of callers come through every day and someone has to sort the real matters from the noise. If that's your practice, Clara already speaks your language.

Your Specific Intake

Clara can be configured around the intake logic your firm runs most. If you handle it on the phone, she can be trained for it.

** Clara is purpose-built for consumer-facing firms. She isn't a generic corporate or B2B intake tool, and that's the point. Every question she asks was shaped around the matters these practices actually take.

Take A Look Under The Hood

Open Any Call And Know Everything In Seconds

Right now, a returned intake call is a guessing game. Who called? What did they say? Did anyone write it down? With Clara, you open the dashboard and it's all there, the whole story, ready before you've finished your coffee.

Every intake includes:

Caller name and contact details
Full transcript
Call recording
Plain-English AI summary
Internal notes
Callback tracking
Status and next-step routing

So when your attorney or paralegal opens a new intake, they're not starting cold. They already know what happened, what documents might exist, what deadlines could be looming, and whether this person is worth a callback, before they ever pick up the phone. The decision that used to take a fifteen-minute call now takes one glance.

Take Back 50 Billable Hours Per Month From People Who Never Turn Into Paying Clients

Here's the simple math. Your paralegals bill out at a median of $135 an hour. Every dead-end intake call ties up that time, gathering facts, calming the caller, explaining next steps, for a matter that was never going to happen.

You don't need many of those calls to blow past what Clara costs.

The math, conservatively…

Say your team handles just 5 dead-end intake calls a day, about 30 minutes each.

That's 12.5 hours a week. At $135/hour, that's $6,750 a month in paralegal time spent on calls that never become cases.

Clara handles all of it for around $1,000 a month.

You're not adding a cost. You're replacing a bigger one, and getting faster response times, cleaner records, and fewer missed case opportunities.

**Rate per the Florida Bar; paralegal billable-hour data per NALA. Adjust the call volume to your own firm, most run higher than listed above.

Why Firms Choose Clara

Get your best people back

Your paralegals stop repeating the same screening conversation ten times a day and get back to the billable work you hired them for.

Never miss a caller again

Clara answers instantly, every time, even at 7pm, even when the whole office is slammed. No voicemail, no lost lead, no callback that comes a day too late.

Know before you commit

Your attorneys read a clean summary before they spend a minute on the matter. They decide who's worth the time instead of finding out the hard way.

Nothing falls through the cracks

Every transcript, recording, note, and contact detail lives in one searchable place. No sticky notes, no "who took that call," no lead quietly going cold.

Make a sharp first impression

Every caller gets a calm, professional intake from the first ring. The people who do have a real case meet a firm that already feels organized and on top of it.

Handle more without hiring

Take on every inbound call without putting another body on payroll. Clara absorbs the first-touch volume so you can grow before you have to staff up.

Clara handles the intake. You still make every call.

Clara was never built to practice law. She's built to take the first call, gather the facts, and hand your team a clean, organized record. Every real decision, who to call back, whether to take the case, what happens next, stays exactly where it belongs: with your attorneys and staff.

The ABA's guidance on AI in law firms (Formal Opinion 512) comes down to a few principles: that lawyers stay competent in the tools they use, protect client confidentiality, and keep human judgment in charge. We built Clara around those same principles, because a tool that puts your team at risk wouldn't be worth using.

A human always makes the decisions. Clara organizes and routes; your team reviews and acts.

Configured to your firm. Your practice areas, your intake questions, your priorities.

You control recording and transcripts. Disclosure and retention settings are configured to fit your policies and your state's rules.

Everything is documented. Full transcripts, recordings, and summaries on file for every call, so nothing is a mystery later.
