AI FOR LAW FIRMS
Win the client before the next firm answers.
Studies of legal intake suggest that roughly 8 in 10 prospective clients hire the first firm that responds — yet intake calls come in after hours and while you're in court. Viva builds the AI that answers every call, captures and qualifies the intake, books the consultation, and follows up in seconds — handling scheduling and reception only, never legal advice. A real engineer reviews every move, and you own what we build.
What you get
Built to do the work, not just look the part.
24/7 AI intake reception
Every call gets answered — after hours, over the weekend, while you're in a hearing — captured and qualified into a clean intake record. It handles scheduling and reception only and routes anything that's a legal question back to the firm.
Instant new-lead follow-up
Web form, Google ad, referral, missed call — the new lead gets a response in seconds, not the next business day. Speed-to-lead is what decides whether the prospect signs with you or the firm that picked up first.
Consultation booking + reminders
Qualified intakes get the consultation booked straight into your calendar, with confirmations and reminders that cut no-shows — so the prospects who reach out actually show up and turn into retained clients.
A site that ranks and gets cited
A fast, custom law-firm site built AEO/GEO-ready, so when someone asks Google or ChatGPT for an attorney in your practice area, your firm is the answer. Ad management via Pilot is optional — toward booked consultations, at a flat monthly price.
How it works
The agents move. A real engineer signs off.
We map where intakes leak
Book a 15-minute call. We look at how calls, web leads, and referrals move through your firm today — after hours, during court, over weekends — and exactly where intakes slip away.
We scope and price it flat
You get a clear plan and a flat monthly price — no percentage of your ad spend, no hourly surprises. Starts at the Foundation tier; larger firms scale up.
The agents build and wire it
The AI intake reception, the follow-up flows, the consultation booking, and the site get built and connected to the tools you already run — and a real engineer reviews every piece before it goes live.
You sign off, then it runs
Nothing touches a prospective client until you approve it. After launch your monthly keeps it monitored and improving, so your intake gets sharper over time.
FAQ
Straight answers, before you ask.
How many intakes do law firms actually lose to slow response?
Studies of legal intake suggest roughly 8 in 10 prospective clients hire the first firm that responds, and a large share of intake calls go unanswered live. Because callers rarely leave voicemail, a missed or slow-answered call is usually a lost case — often worth far more than the marketing that generated it.
Does the AI give legal advice to my callers?
No. It handles intake, reception, and scheduling only — it captures the prospect's details, qualifies the matter, and books the consultation. It never gives legal advice or forms an attorney-client relationship; any real legal question is routed straight back to the firm for an attorney to handle.
Can it work after hours and while I'm in court?
Yes — that's the point. The AI answers every call 24/7, including nights, weekends, and the hours you're in a hearing and can't reach the phone. It captures and qualifies the intake and books the consultation, so the prospect is handled in real time instead of going to a competitor.
How much does AI for a law firm cost?
It's a flat monthly price, starting at the Foundation tier ($3,500/mo, all in), scaling to Operator ($8,500) and Engine ($11,500) as you add ad management and full automation. Custom builds are quoted within 48 hours. Your ad budget is separate and stays yours — the price is flat, never a percentage of spend.
Do I need a new website, or can you work with mine?
Either way. We can build a fast, AEO/GEO-ready law-firm site that ranks and gets cited by AI search, or wire the AI intake reception and follow-up onto what you already have. We scope it on the first call based on what you've got and what your practice areas need.
Do I own the system, or am I renting a black box?
You own it — custom, owned, and auditable. The website, the intake automations, and the configurations are your firm's property. There's no proprietary lock-in you can never leave; you can audit everything and take it with you.
