Legal Answering Service for Law Firms That Want Signed Cases

Legal Conversion Center is a legal answering service for personal injury law firms that want every call answered live, screened against their case criteria, and signed when the case fits. Our U.S.-based, bilingual intake specialists answer in your firm’s name 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Legal intake that answers, screens, and signs new clients.

Legal Conversion Center (LCC) is a U.S.-based legal intake company in Fort Worth, Texas, that answers, screens, and signs new clients for law firms, especially personal injury firms, in all 50 states. We are not a message-taking service. When a caller qualifies, we can send your retainer for e-signature before the call ends.

Answering is the front door to our answer-to-signature legal intake solutions. It runs on the same training as our personal injury answering service and intake team, built around the calls PI firms live on: car and truck accidents, motorcycle and rideshare crashes, slip and falls, dog bites, and wrongful death. SSD and mass tort firms use the same service.

Live Answering

Trained, U.S.-based specialists answer every call, 24/7/365.

Case Screening

Every caller is screened against your case criteria before anything moves forward.

Signed Retainers

What Should a Legal Answering Service Do for a Law Firm?

A general answering service takes a name and number, then emails you a message. Your staff calls back the next morning, and by then the caller may have hired the firm that picked up. A service built for law firms should handle the whole first conversation.

  • Answer live in your firm’s name: nights, weekends, and holidays, with the greeting, tone, and escalation rules you approve.
  • Separate new callers from existing clients: new matters go to intake, and current clients are routed or messaged the way you want.
  • Screen against your criteria: we build a custom script around your practice areas, accident types, injuries, and jurisdictions, with script consulting and sample intakes at no extra charge.
  • Transfer or book: qualified callers can be warm-transferred to your attorneys live, or booked straight onto your firm’s calendar.
  • Sign the retainer: our contract acquisition specialists send your retainer for e-signature during or right after the call, with mail and callback follow-up for people who need more time.
  • Log every intake: details flow into your system through case management integration in real time with Clio, Filevine, Law Ruler, Lead Docket, Litify, MyCase, or a custom API.

Our Comprehensive

How Is LCC Different From Other Lawyer Answering Service Options?

Most firms compare us to two alternatives: general call centers that answer for any kind of business, and AI receptionists that fill in fields from a script. Here is what you get with us instead.

  • People on every call: trained humans answer your phones. We use technology for routing, integrations, and reporting, but no caller is handed to a bot.
  • Legal training: every intake specialist completes several weeks of training and certification in empathy, federal HIPAA rules, call control, legal terminology, injury-law intake, and mass tort intake.
  • U.S.-based and bilingual: English- and Spanish-speaking specialists, including a dedicated Spanish answering service team that walks callers through retainers in Spanish.
  • Graded every month: our QA team listens to and grades thousands of calls each month on a proprietary 32-point system covering tone, empathy, grammar, talk time, and intake accuracy. You can audit calls too.
  • No conflicts: LCC is not owned by a law firm, attorneys, a marketing company, or a legal consulting firm. Your intake data belongs to your firm and is never shared.
  • Compliant by default: HIPAA-compliant software, HIPAA-certified reps, and TCPA and Do Not Call compliance, including our own internal DNC list on top of the national registry.

What Happens When an Injury Caller Reaches Us After Hours?

Here is a typical new-case call on a Saturday night. Your criteria decide who qualifies; our specialists collect facts and never give legal advice.

  • Greeting: at 10:40 p.m., a caller dials your firm’s number. Our specialist answers with your firm name, hears that she prefers Spanish, and continues the call in Spanish.
  • New or existing: she confirms she is a new caller and has not hired another lawyer.
  • Screening: she was a rideshare passenger in a rear-end crash two days ago. The specialist records the date and location, how the crash happened, the rideshare company, her injuries, treatment so far, the police report number, and insurance details for both drivers.
  • Qualifying: her answers fit your criteria for rideshare passenger cases, so the call moves to signing. If they had not, the call would close politely using language you approved.
  • Signing: we send your retainer for e-signature and walk her through it in Spanish. She signs before hanging up. If your rules call for an attorney conversation first, we warm-transfer her to your on-call lawyer instead.
  • Handoff: the intake and signed retainer post to your case management system in real time, so your team starts Monday with a signed case instead of a voicemail.
  • Follow-up: had she wanted time to think, she would have entered a callback program with call, text, and email follow-up from your firm’s own domain.

Frequently Asked Questions

A legal answering service answers a law firm’s phones live, usually around the clock, in the firm’s name.

That is how LCC runs it for PI firms.
