For Attorneys

Respond first. Win the client. Know who they are before you call back.

79% of legal consumers hire whoever responds first. FirmFirst notifies you in 30 seconds when a prospect submits an inquiry, gives you an intelligence report on who they are, and lets you respond from your phone — between court appearances, at lunch, or from home.

How 4 prospects become 1 client

Wednesday. You're in court all morning.

9:15 AM

Four inquiries arrive while you're in court

Real estate closing, estate plan, business formation, and a family matter. All submitted through your website.

9:16 AM–12:30 PM

Emails sit in your inbox

You're arguing a motion. No notification, no auto-response, no system.

12:45 PM

You check your phone over lunch

Four new emails. You start calling back.

1:15 PM

Three of four tell you the same thing

"I already hired someone. They called me back this morning."

1:16 PM

One prospect answers

She was still deciding. You close the estate plan. But three others — a combined $12,000+ in retainers — went to attorneys who responded faster.

3 of 4

Three prospects hired someone else while you were in court. Not because you're a worse attorney. Because you were slower.

The practicing attorney's dilemma

01

Your inbox fills up while you practice law

Court appearances, depositions, client meetings, drafting. You're doing the work you're trained to do. Meanwhile, 4 inquiries arrive and sit unanswered for hours. 79% of those prospects will hire whoever responds first — and it's not you.

02

You don't know if an inquiry is worth your time

Before FirmFirst, your only option is a 20-30 minute consultation call to figure out if a prospect has a real case and is worth your time. At $300/hour, that's $150 gambled on every unqualified lead.

03

You bill $300/hour but spend half your day on admin

Solo attorneys bill only 2.9 of 8 hours per day. Intake admin — manual emails, phone tag, inbox searching, data entry — eats the other 5. That's $15K–$35K in lost billable time annually.

How FirmFirst helps attorneys win clients

30-second notification to your phone

The moment a prospect submits an inquiry, you get a text and email with their name, case details, and contact information. Review it on your phone between court appearances, at lunch, or while waiting for a client. No inbox checking required.

Intelligence report before you call back

Before you dial, see phone type (mobile vs. landline), email validity, employment and employer data, location, and LinkedIn profile. Know who you're calling back — before you invest 30 minutes in a consultation.

Respond in one tap

From the notification, tap to call or tap to email. Pre-built response templates let you acknowledge the inquiry in seconds. The prospect hears from you in 3 minutes. The next attorney takes 4 hours.

Auto-response while you're unavailable

In court? In a deposition? Auto-response tells the prospect: "Thank you, I've received your inquiry and will contact you shortly." They know they've been heard. You've bought yourself time without losing the lead.

How it works for attorneys

1

Prospect submits inquiry

Your intake form captures case type, urgency, and key details. Embed it on your website or share a direct link. Setup takes 5 minutes — no developer required.

2

You're notified in 30 seconds

Text message and email with prospect name, case summary, and intelligence signals. Your phone buzzes. You see who they are and what they need — instantly.

3

You review the intelligence report

Employment data, contact validity, employer data, LinkedIn profile. Walk into every callback knowing who you're talking to — before you invest 30 minutes.

4

You call back first and win the client

You responded in 3 minutes. The next attorney took 4 hours. The prospect felt heard, trusted your responsiveness, and signed. That's how 79% of clients choose their attorney.

What attorneys told us

"I'm in court 3 days a week. By the time I check my inbox, the good leads are gone. I need to know the second an inquiry comes in."

Common questions from attorneys

How fast do I actually get notified?

Under 30 seconds from the moment a prospect submits your intake form. You receive a text message and an email with the prospect's name, case details, and intelligence signals. If you're in court, the auto-response covers you until you can call back.

What intelligence do I see before calling back?

Phone type (mobile vs. landline), email validity, employment and employer data, geographic location, and LinkedIn profile. You know who you're calling and whether the inquiry is worth your time — before you invest it.

Does this work on my phone?

Yes. FirmFirst is mobile-first. Notifications come via text message. The prospect dashboard works on any phone browser. Tap to call, tap to email. Built for attorneys who work between courtrooms, not behind a desk.

Does FirmFirst protect attorney-client privilege?

FirmFirst handles prospect data — information from people who have submitted an inquiry but haven't yet engaged you as their attorney. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is restricted to your account. See our Trust Center for details.

What does it cost?

Free for up to 10 inquiries per month — enough to test the system with real leads. Pro Solo is $49/month, which is less than one billable hour. Includes unlimited inquiries, person enrichment, and intelligence reports.
