Law Firm Answering Service That's Also Your Phone System

Potential clients reach your team first. When nobody can pick up, the AI receptionist answers 24/7, runs your intake, filters spam, books the consultation, and logs every call, human or AI, in one inbox.

Keep your current number: port it over, or simply forward it.
Call it and play one of your customers. It's a demo line for a fictional company.

Here's a Monday. You barely touched your phone.

A real-shaped day. Every call rang your team first. The AI took the ones nobody could, and every call and text landed in one inbox.

Sorry to hear that. Were you injured, and has anyone else contacted you about it yet? This helps us route you to the right attorney.
yes, went to the ER

A customer texts your business number instead of calling. The AI replies in seconds and starts the intake by text until an attorney is free. The thread lands in the same inbox as your calls.

What's different from forwarding calls to an AI receptionist?

Most AI receptionists just forward the calls you miss to their AI, so they only ever see those. Fast Response is the business line itself, so every call lands in one place.

Automations built for law firms

The AI handles the call. Automations act on what happened in it (the category, the summary, the transcript, whether it was resolved) and on your bookings, like a reminder before the appointment. Pick a recipe, edit the text, turn it on.

Call trigger

When the AI rates a caller a high-quality lead, text me the summary with a link to the call.

When the summary mentions a practice area you take, move the caller to New intake and assign an attorney.

Can you afford to miss a call?

Why do law firms use an answering service?

Because marketing brings calls at all hours, most of them spam, and a potential client who reaches voicemail calls the next firm. Human answering services cost $200-500 a month and just take a message. Fast Response answers on your own line, runs your intake, filters the spam, books consultations, and texts a summary. Any attorney or paralegal can pick up any call live from the app, and those calls are logged exactly like the AI's.

A missed intake call is a potential client, and their case, signed by the next firm they call.

Missed call cost calculator →

How much does a law firm answering service cost?

Legal answering services bill $200–500 a month, often per call, plus intake or after-hours surcharges. Fast Response is $29 for the line with 24/7 AI intake, $79 with team accounts and conflict-check routing, $249 with outbound follow-up. Flat base, no per-seat fees, no contract.

Answering service cost, compared →

Intake and spam filtering, 24/7

A billboard or a Google ad brings real clients and a flood of solicitations. Fast Response screens out the spam so your team never sees it, runs your exact intake questions on every real caller, captures the matter details, and books a consultation onto the right attorney's calendar. Urgent matters after hours are flagged to your on-call attorney. Every call is recorded, transcribed, and kept private to your firm.

After-hours answering service →

Frequently asked questions

Fast Response starts at $29/mo, and $79/mo covers your whole firm with no per-seat fees. No contract. Most firms are live in about 5 minutes. See full pricing →
