PhonePick

For lawyers and paralegals

An answering service for lawyers and paralegals, in court or in a meeting

You cannot take a call from a courtroom or a client meeting. Someone who has just had a bad day and needs a lawyer will not leave a voicemail — they ring the next firm on the page.

Live in about ten minutes. From $29 a month. No contract, no setup fee, cancel any time.

The number that matters

Someone looking for a lawyer is usually in the worst week of their year. They call three firms and retain whoever picks up.

You can check that against your own week. Below is the same sum with your figures in it.

What it's costing you

Do the sum on your own numbers

Set to a typical job for this trade. Change it to whatever is true for you.

Nothing is sent anywhere — the sum happens in your browser. It assumes PhonePick reaches every missed caller, and that they convert like the ones you already speak to. Whether that holds is your call, not ours.

What it does

Three things, on every call

It answers with your firm's name

Not a call centre reading a script and mispronouncing it.

It books the consultation

Or takes a name, a number and the area of law, and puts it in front of you.

It does not give advice

Ever. It says a lawyer will call back, which is the only correct answer.

Being straight with you

What it will not do on a legal call

PhonePick takes a name, a number and the area of law. It does not take instructions, give advice, run a conflict check, or invite a caller to explain their case — and the recording and transcript of every call are stored on our systems. If your practice needs privileged detail captured on the phone, this is not the right tool for that part of it. Use it to make sure the call is answered and returned, not to replace your intake.

Before you ask

Lawyers and paralegals ask these three

Will it give legal advice?

No, under any circumstances. It takes a name, a number and the area of law and says a lawyer will call back.

Can it run a conflict check?

No. It has no access to your matter list and should not be relied on for anything that touches conflicts.

Are the calls confidential?

Calls are recorded and transcribed on our systems, so treat this as answering and intake logistics rather than a privileged channel. It is deliberately built not to invite a caller to explain their case.

The next one rings whether you're ready or not

Ten minutes to set up. You keep your number, and you can undo the whole thing with one dialled code.
