AI Marketing & Intake Automation for Law Firms.

AI marketing and intake automation for law firms, vetted against bar rules, ethics opinions, and the trust threshold a prospective client expects. Rhetor builds bar-compliant visibility, conflict-aware intake, and content that earns the call.

How Law-Firm Marketing Books The Intake Call.

Law firm marketing rarely fails on the visibility side. Most firms rank somewhere on the right queries. The failure is the intake. The call that goes to voicemail, the form that is never followed up, the consultation that is booked for three weeks out, the conflict-check that takes a day to clear. Every gap in intake is a client that hired the firm down the street.

Rhetor starts with the intake flow before touching the visibility. An intake agent handles inbound across voice, web chat, and SMS with a conflict-check that runs in seconds against your case management system. The qualification questions are calibrated to the practice area: PI versus family law versus business litigation are completely different intake conversations.

On the visibility side, the work is bar-compliant by design. No fake testimonials. No client logos that should not be there. No claims of superiority that violate Rule 7.1 in the jurisdictions where it applies. The content we write for your practice areas is built around what your bar association allows. We audit it monthly as opinions update.

The buyer for legal services is anxious, comparing two or three firms, and reading more than the average buyer. Long-form practice-area content, FAQ pages, and client-education resources do the work that gets them comfortable enough to call. Layered on top of local SEO and AI visibility, the system gets them to call. Then intake closes them.

Inside Our Law-Firm Engagements.

Intake agent calibrated to your practice area.

Different qualification flows for PI, family law, business litigation, criminal defense, immigration, estate planning, and the rest. A PI intake asks about treatment timeline, scope of injury, and at-fault party identification before the consult is scheduled. A family law intake asks about jurisdiction, urgency (TRO vs scheduled), and conflict status. A business litigation intake asks about counterparty, claim size, and forum before the partner gets a calendar invite. Each flow is built around what the practice area actually needs to know before an attorney's billable time is committed.

Conflict-check automation against your case management.

Direct integration with whatever case-management system your firm uses. Conflict checks run in seconds during the intake call, not later.

Bar-compliant content engineered for AI citations.

Practice-area pages, FAQ content, and client-education resources written to comply with your state bar's advertising rules. Rule 7.1 vetted against false-or-misleading marketing, Rule 7.2 attribution where required, comparative-superiority restrictions where they apply. LegalService schema on every practice-area page so AI Overviews and ChatGPT cite your firm for the right matter. If your firm operates across multiple states or runs federal practice areas, we add national SEO to the engagement.

Visibility work across Google and the AI platforms.

Local SEO for the local practice areas, national SEO for the firms that need it, and AI visibility work so you get cited when buyers ask ChatGPT or Perplexity for an attorney recommendation. Every site we build is a Lighthouse 90+ AI-optimized site from the foundation up.

How Our Law-Firm Engagements Run.

We start with the intake side before touching the visibility side, including conflict checks, practice-area qualification, and scheduling. Then we ship visibility work that respects your jurisdiction's bar rules. Both sides get reviewed against the firm's actual case mix as it evolves.

Common Questions.

How do you handle state bar advertising rules?

Your jurisdiction's bar rules are documented before any marketing ships. Every page, ad, and intake script is audited against current ethics opinions. Updates tracked monthly.

Can the agent perform a real conflict check?

Yes. Direct integrations with the major case management systems return conflict-check results inside the call.

What practice areas do you support?

Personal injury, family law, business litigation, criminal defense, immigration, estate planning, and the standard transactional areas. Niche practice areas covered with a custom qualification flow drawn from our full service offering.

What about co-counsel or referral arrangements?

The intake agent identifies cases outside your practice scope and routes them to your existing referral partners.

How is pricing structured?

Engagements are priced as a build fee plus monthly retainer. Pricing scales with attorney count, practice-area complexity, and the compliance regime in your jurisdiction. A 4-attorney PI shop in a single state is a very different operation than a 40-attorney firm running PI, family, and business litigation across three jurisdictions. We quote against an audit of your actual book, not a price list.
