Monday morning

Twelve callbacks Monday, one of them about retaliation

The weekend left twelve voicemails and web forms. One caller wants to sue over a rude supervisor. One signed a severance release last month. One owns a company and wants defense counsel. One was let go a week after a complaint to HR. Your attorney returns all twelve by noon. With RetainerBooked, the form and the AI receptionist ask your questions first, and Monday's list shows every answer.

What the caller sees, step by step, and where each answer lands for your team.

Saturday night· Your questions still asked

  • 9:40 p.m.· Saturday

    A caller's phone after a Saturday night call, where the firm's AI receptionist asked its employment screening questions and texted back her answers and Monday's consultation.

    Screening, by phone

    The AI receptionist says it is your firm's AI assistant, then asks your questions: still working there or let go, since when, the employer's name, anything signed.

  • 7:05 a.m.· Monday, before work

    The intake text asking for the termination letter and severance offer, the caller's photo of both, and the firm's reply that they arrived.

    Termination letter, uploaded

    The intake text requests the termination letter and any severance offer. The caller sends both from the phone, straight onto the card.

  • 4:30 p.m.· Wednesday

    A new client's phone with her contingency fee agreement for a wrongful termination claim signed at 4:30 p.m., her termination letter and pay stubs attached.

    Contingency retainer, signed

    After the consultation, your contingency retainer goes out by text, filled in from the intake answers. The new client signs it on the phone, and the signed PDF is saved to the card.

Questions about caller screening

Try severance, deadline or Clio in the search box, and the answer opens.

8 questions

How do we screen callers before booking?

Your form and the AI receptionist ask your own questions first: what happened and when, the employer and its size, and anything signed. Your attorneys read the answers and decide.

Does the AI decide who gets booked?

No. Your attorneys decide; the AI asks your questions and never judges a claim.

Can callers send documents first?

Yes. Your form can ask for the termination letter, a severance offer, recent pay stubs or a write-up, each sent from the caller's phone, with reminder texts until it arrives. All of it stays confidential and encrypted, processed only for your firm and never sold.

Can we follow up with quiet callers?

Yes. Texts and emails go only to callers and form senders who agreed to hear back, and stop when they reply.

Can we see which sources our signed cases came from?

Yes. Every signed case keeps the ad, page or referring attorney that sent it, and the report totals them by source.

Does it track filing deadlines?

No. The form logs the dates; your case software keeps deadlines.

Do we keep Clio or MyCase?

Yes. Signed clients go across to it through a connector.

How is it priced?

Monthly: $97 to $297, by the staff who sign in.
