The work

Your always-on intake team.

Everything a great receptionist and intake specialist does — without the hold music, missed voicemails, or after-hours gaps.

Side by side

Voicemail takes a message. Counselline takes the intake.

Fair questions

Questions attorneys ask.

Something else on your mind? Write to counselline.intake@gmail.com.

Will callers know they're talking to AI?

Yes, if you want that — we configure the greeting and disclosure to fit your preferences and your jurisdiction's rules. Callers can always request a call back from a person.

Does it give legal advice?

No. Counselline gathers information and books consultations. It is configured to never give legal advice or promise outcomes.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. You can forward overflow, after-hours, or all calls to Counselline and keep your existing number.

What about confidentiality?

Intake details are delivered only to you and your team. We'll walk through data handling with you during the demo.

Is there a long-term contract?

Plans start with a 6-month minimum term. After that it's month to month, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. Prefer to commit for a year? Prepay 12 months and we take 50% off setup ($750 instead of $1,500 on Starter).

Do you only work with New Jersey firms?

We're starting with New Jersey, but Counselline is fully remote and can serve firms anywhere in the U.S.
