The Problem

Why Businesses Need a Legal Answering Service.

The calls a traditional service and a voicemail box quietly lose.

Court and voicemail

You are in trial with your phone off. A high-value case calls, gets voicemail, and hires the next firm on the list.

After-hours matters

Arrests and accidents happen at night and on weekends, exactly when the office is closed.

Intake bottleneck

Staff drown in calls, and unqualified callers eat time that should go to real cases.

Expensive live intake

Live legal answering services bill high per-minute rates and still miss overflow.

Sample Call

What Your Callers Hear.

  1. Greeting

    The caller hears your firm name and a professional greeting within a second, whether you are in court, in a deposition, or closed.

  2. Matter type

    Voksha asks what the call is about and matches it to your practice areas, such as personal injury, family, criminal, or estate planning.

  3. Intake questions

    It runs your intake script: key dates, parties involved, location, urgency, and how the caller found you.

  4. Screening and next step

    Matters outside your practice are politely referred or logged. Qualified matters are offered a consultation slot on Premium or a callback window.

  5. Intake summary

    Your team receives a structured intake summary and transcript by email or text, ready to sync to Clio, MyCase, or PracticePanther.

How much does a legal answering service cost?

Live legal answering services with intake typically charge $1.70-$3.30 per minute, and intake calls run long, so 100 calls at about 5 minutes each costs roughly $850-$1,650 a month. Voksha charges per call regardless of length: Starter is $14/month for 15 calls, Premium is $99/month for 150 calls, then $1 per additional call.
