AI intake and reception built for elder law firms
The caller is usually a son or daughter, phoning from a hospital hallway or after a hard conversation. Reflekt Legal answers with patience, captures the situation and what is already in place, and books the family consultation.
The Problem
The family is calling during the worst week of the year
Elder law intake happens around a fall, a diagnosis, or a discharge planner saying a decision is due. The caller is stressed and often not the client, and the firm has one call to earn their trust.
Urgency comes from the facility, not the family
A hospital discharge date, a nursing home admission, or a Medicaid application deadline sets the pace. Intake that does not ask about them cannot tell the attorney who needs a same-week meeting.
The caller is rarely the client
Adult children, spouses, and caregivers call on behalf of someone else. Who has authority, whether the elder can participate, and whether the family agrees all shape what the firm can do.
The conversation is emotional and the details are many
Care needs, finances, and family dynamics come out in one long call. Voicemail cannot hold it, and an untrained receptionist cannot structure it.
Captured at Intake
What's captured on an elder law intake call
The AI receptionist follows your firm's elder law script, at the caller's pace, and records what the attorney needs before meeting the family.
Who is calling and for whom
The caller's relationship to the elder, the elder's name and age, where they live now, and whether they can take part in the consultation.
The care situation
Current health and care needs, whether a hospital, rehab, or nursing home is involved, and any discharge or admission date already set.
Documents and planning already in place
Existing powers of attorney, health care directives, wills or trusts, whether a Medicaid application has been started, and whether guardianship has been raised.
Family members and conflict parties
Spouse, children, and other decision-makers, and whether the family agrees on next steps, so the attorney knows who will be in the room and a conflict check can run.
How It Works
How an elder law firm's calls are handled
Families get a patient, structured first conversation, and the attorney meets them already knowing the situation.
Step 1
Answer every call, at every hour
Families call from hospitals and care facilities at every hour. Every caller reaches a calm, professional answer instead of voicemail.

Book the consultation
Matters tied to a discharge or admission date get the earliest consultation your firm allows, and the receptionist notes who will attend.

Write the matter into your software
The intake lands in your case management system as a matter with structured fields, so the attorney walks into the family meeting prepared.
