Regional Immigration Law Firm

A bilingual AI receptionist that restored 24/7 front-desk coverage after the firm's only receptionist quit.

The problem

Their only receptionist worked 8 to 4 — and then quit, leaving the front desk dark. In immigration, the most urgent calls come after hours: someone detained, facing deportation, or staring down a filing deadline. All of it was reaching a dead line.

What we built

  • Bilingual English/Spanish AI receptionist answering 24/7 in the caller's language
  • Instant routing of genuine emergencies to an attorney during business hours
  • Strict answering-service behavior after hours
  • A server-side transfer gate that blocks transfers during lunch and after hours, with a kill switch
  • A name-collection step before transfer, with a carve-out that never delays a genuine emergency
  • SMS with a booking-and-payment link so consultations book and pay overnight
  • A live lead dashboard reading real case data

Where it stands

  • Every call answered, in the caller's language, around the clock
  • Consultations booking and paying onto the firm's calendar overnight
  • Emergency calls reaching an attorney in real time
  • Front desk coverage restored without rehiring

At $300 per consultation, a handful of recovered after-hours bookings covers the entire monthly retainer.
