AI receptionist for law firms
For a law firm every missed call can be a lost case. An AI receptionist should screen intake, book consultations into Clio or your calendar, and hand urgent callers to a person.
What to look for
Intake screening
Custom intake questions and conflict friendly summaries save attorney time. Smith.ai builds its AI receptionist around lead qualification.
Clio and calendars
Smith.ai lists native Clio integration and Upfirst books into Clio Manage. Quo also integrates with Clio.
Human backup
Smith.ai can transfer to a live North America based receptionist at any hour, which matters for distressed callers.

Legal AI receptionist FAQ
Can an AI receptionist do legal intake?
Yes for structured intake: name, matter type, dates, contact details and urgency. Advice and fee discussions should stay with your team.
Which AI receptionists integrate with Clio?
On the pages checked: Smith.ai (native Clio), Upfirst (books into Clio Manage) and Quo (Clio sync).
Is per call or per minute billing better for a law firm?
Intake calls run long, so per call pricing such as Smith.ai or Upfirst is often easier to predict than per minute bundles. Run your numbers in the calculator.
