Every missed call is a case walking out the door

In family law, the lead that doesn't get answered — or gets a robot — doesn't call back. They call the next firm. Type in your firm's numbers. The math runs live, and it's deliberately conservative.

Intake calls missed or fumbled a week After-hours, overflow when the desk is busy, and the ones the current answering setup mishandles. The leads that never become a consult.

What the status quo costs you

Enter missed calls a week to see the math.

How the math works: lost case revenue = missed leads × 52 weeks × your recovered-to-signed rate × average case value. We only count cases you'd actually retain, not every missed call. The recovered rate defaults to a conservative 20% — nothing here is padded. The consultation fee a firm charges (often applied toward the case) is already inside the retainer, so it isn't double-counted. · A Sanders AI intake agent is a recurring service — it answers every call warm and human, 24/7, books the consult, and we keep it tuned. The $6K/mo tier is unlimited agents within reason — one flat fee whatever the volume: intake, booking, follow-up, reviews, after-hours. Lite-scope only — no privileged or confidential legal work. · Sanders AI · sanders-ai.com
