AI Receptionist for Law Firms White Label
Law firms represent one of the most lucrative verticals for white-label voice AI resellers, with average client contracts of $497-997/month and retention rates exceeding 90% due to strict intake requirements and after-hours client service expectations.
Legal services generate over 400 million client calls annually in the US alone. Agencies that resell AI receptionists to law firms tap into a market where missed calls directly translate to lost cases, with the average personal injury lead worth $2,500-15,000 in potential revenue.
Which Trillet product is right for you?
Small businesses: Trillet AI Receptionist - 24/7 call answering starting at $29/month
Agencies: Trillet White-Label - Studio $99/month or Agency $299/month (unlimited sub-accounts)
Why Law Firms Are the Ideal Voice AI Client
Law firms have structural characteristics that make them perfect AI receptionist customers: they lose substantial revenue from missed intake calls, require 24/7 availability for time-sensitive matters, and face staffing costs that dwarf AI subscription fees.
The business case is straightforward:
42% of law firms report losing potential clients due to slow response times
The average personal injury intake call is worth $3,200 in case value
After-hours calls represent 35% of total intake volume but often go to voicemail
Firms with sub-5-minute response times capture 3.2x more clients than slower competitors
Solo practitioners and small firms cannot afford 24/7 live receptionist staffing at $3,000-5,000/month
When you pitch AI receptionists to law firms, you are selling client acquisition and competitive advantage, not technology. Frame every conversation around missed intakes and client capture rates.

How to Sell AI Receptionists to Law Firms
Attorneys are skeptical buyers who require proof and understand ROI. Generic AI pitches fail. Case-value-focused presentations close.
Opening Script Framework:
"Hi [Name], I help law firms capture the 35% of intake calls that come in after hours or during court appearances. Last quarter we helped a personal injury firm in [city] capture 23 additional intakes they would have missed, representing approximately $74,000 in new case value. Do you have 15 minutes this week to see if we could do something similar for your practice?"
Key Objection Responses:
"Attorney-client privilege concerns me with AI" "The AI handles intake collection only, gathering case facts, contact information, and scheduling consultations. No legal advice is given, and all data is handled with the same security standards you would apply to any intake system. We can configure the system to route anything sensitive directly to your staff."
"My clients want to talk to a real person" "They will. The AI handles the intake screening, captures essential case details, and schedules consultations with you. Your clients get immediate response instead of voicemail, and you get complete intake information before the consultation. It's like having a trained intake specialist available 24/7."
"I've tried answering services and they were terrible" "Traditional answering services use scripts and lack legal intake training. The AI learns your specific practice areas, understands your intake requirements, and captures detailed case information. Show me your current intake form, and I'll demonstrate how the AI handles each field."
Demo Strategy:
Show a mock intake call for their primary practice area (PI, family, criminal)
Demonstrate how the AI collects case-specific information
Walk through conflict check data collection
Display the lead appearing in their practice management system
Show the consultation scheduling workflow
Practice-area-specific demos build confidence with skeptical attorneys.
