AI answering service for law firms

Counter is an AI answering service for law firms. Nani answers the calls your office can't get to, takes intake details from new callers, books consultations and takes messages for your attorneys. He never gives legal advice.

Tell Nani you run a law office, and he'll answer as one.

What Nani does with the calls you miss

Every call ends with a booked consultation, intake details for your team, or a message for an attorney.

“I was in a car accident and need a lawyer.”

Nani takes the intake details you've asked for, like the kind of matter, when it happened and how to reach the caller, then books a consultation or passes the matter to your team, as you've set up.

“Do I have a case?”

Nani never gives legal advice or opinions. He says an attorney needs to review the matter, and books a consultation or takes the details for your team.

“Can I talk to my attorney?”

He takes a message with the client's name, number and topic, and passes the message on.

“How much is a consultation?”

He answers from your fees, like a free or flat-fee consultation, if you've told us.

“Do you handle divorces?”

He answers from your practice areas, and tells callers when you don't take that kind of matter.

“I have court tomorrow and need help now.”

Nani passes urgent matters straight to your team and flags them.

Nani never gives legal advice.

Nani passes anything that needs a lawyer's judgment to your team: whether you'll take a case, deadlines and court dates, fee questions beyond your stated fees, and every message for an attorney.

Works with your practice management software

Nani works with the practice management software law firms use. Once we've connected yours during setup:

If you use other software, ask us. We check your software during setup, and if your software can't connect, Nani passes the request to your team. See all integrations.

Books directly in your software

Nani checks your real open times and books the appointment directly in your software. We connect your software during setup.

Questions

Something else? Book a call and ask Adettya directly.

Does Nani give legal advice?

No. Nani takes details and books consultations; legal questions go to an attorney.

No. Nani collects the names and details you ask for at intake, and your team runs the conflict check.

Yes. Calls may be recorded and transcribed, and callers hear that at the start of every call. Your team can read the transcript and play the recording in Counter's app for 90 days.

Can Nani book consultations with a specific attorney?

Yes. We set up who handles which matters, and Nani books with the right attorney.

Can we choose the AI receptionist's name and voice?

Yes. Nani is the default; you pick the name and the voice your customers hear.
