AI intake and reception built for bankruptcy law firms

People call a bankruptcy lawyer late at night, after a garnishment notice or a foreclosure letter. Reflekt Legal answers, captures the debt picture and the deadline behind the call, and books the consultation.

The Problem

The caller has already waited too long

Most people call a bankruptcy attorney weeks after they should have. By the time they dial, a sale date, a garnishment, or a repossession is close, and the firm that answers first is the one they retain.

Calls come after hours and in crisis

Debtors call when the notice arrives, when the paycheck is short, or when they finally decide to act, which is rarely between nine and five. Voicemail at that moment feels like another closed door.

Deadlines drive the case

A foreclosure sale date, a wage garnishment, a vehicle repossession, or a creditor lawsuit sets the clock. Intake that does not ask about them cannot tell your attorney which caller needs a same-day response.

The facts are embarrassing to repeat

Callers are asked about debts, income, and past filings, and they do not want to tell the story twice. A first call that captures it once, without judgment, is the one that converts.

Captured at Intake

What's captured on a bankruptcy intake call

The AI receptionist follows your firm's bankruptcy script and records what an attorney needs to prepare for the consultation.

Debts and creditors

Types of debt (credit card, medical, tax, student loan, secured), rough totals, and whether any creditor has sued, obtained a judgment, or started collection.

Income, household, and assets

Employment and income sources, household size, home ownership and equity, vehicles, and any assets the caller is worried about keeping.

The deadline behind the call

Foreclosure sale date, garnishment start, repossession notice, or court date, so the attorney knows how fast the matter has to move.

Prior filings and co-debtors

Whether the caller has filed before and when, spouses or co-signers on the debts, and every party named for the conflict check.

How It Works

How a bankruptcy firm's calls are handled

Every prospective client gets the same calm, structured intake, and the attorney sees the whole picture before the consultation.

Step 1

Answer every call, at every hour

Debtors reach a professional, non-judgmental answer at any hour instead of voicemail, and the firm is the one that picked up.

Step 2

Qualify the matter and capture the parties

Debts, income, assets, prior filings, and the deadline are captured in your order, and every creditor and co-debtor is recorded for the conflict check.

Step 3

Book the consultation

Urgent matters get the earliest slot your firm allows; everything else is booked into the consultation calendar with a reminder.

See Legal Appointment Scheduling

Step 4

Write the matter into your software

The intake lands in your case management system as a matter with structured fields, so the attorney prepares from data, not a voicemail.

Bankruptcy reception and intake questions, answered

Does the receptionist tell callers which chapter to file?

No. It captures the facts an attorney needs to advise on chapter 7, chapter 13, or an alternative, and it makes clear that the attorney will advise at the consultation. It does not give legal advice.

How does it handle a caller with a foreclosure sale this week?

Your firm sets the rule. Typically a sale date, garnishment, or repossession inside a window you define is flagged as urgent, the caller gets the earliest available consultation, and the attorney is notified immediately.

Does it run a conflict check?

It captures every party named on the call and screens them against the rules your firm sets, so a potential conflict is flagged before the consultation is booked. The attorney makes the final call; the receptionist makes sure the names are there to check.

Which case management systems does it write into?

Reflekt Legal syncs with Clio, Filevine, Litify, MyCase, Lawcus, Lead Docket, and the other systems listed on the integrations page. Intake answers and call summaries land in the matter as structured fields rather than a voicemail or an email to re-key.
