Let’s Build Your Solution

Overview

Key Metrics & Impact

Plavno developed a Voice AI solution for law firms and AttorneyTech providers that helps automate first-line communication with prospective clients, reduce repetitive receptionist and intake work, and create a more structured legal intake process. The platform handles inbound calls, captures core matter details, identifies urgency, routes inquiries by practice area, and escalates sensitive scenarios to human staff when needed.

  • Faster intake of new legal inquiries

  • Lower repetitive call load for intake coordinators and front-desk teams

  • Better triage of urgent and non-urgent matters

  • More structured qualification before attorney review

  • Stronger visibility into consultation-ready leads and intake performance

<span>Key Metrics</span> & Impact
01

Problem

Many law firms still rely on manual call intake, receptionist notes, and inconsistent consultation screening. As inquiry volume grows, firms begin to face the same operational issues:


  • Too many repetitive calls reaching legal staff directly

  • Inconsistent intake quality between shifts or team members

  • Missed leads after hours or during peak call periods

  • Slow routing of urgent legal matters

  • Limited visibility into which inquiries are qualified, unqualified, or administrative


For consumer-facing practices in particular, this creates both lost revenue and unnecessary strain on staff.

Problem
02

Challenge

The platform needed to:


  • Answer inbound legal inquiries naturally by phone

  • Collect structured intake data without giving legal advice

  • Identify urgency, location, matter type, and consultation readiness

  • Support different call flows for different practice areas

  • Escalate sensitive or high-priority calls to human staff

  • Connect with CRM, scheduling, and case-management systems


There were also important constraints:


  • The assistant had to avoid anything that could be interpreted as legal advice

  • Intake logic needed to vary across personal injury, immigration, family law, employment, and similar practices

  • Escalation paths had to be clear for urgent or emotionally sensitive matters

  • The experience needed to feel simple and respectful for prospective clients under stress
