Combine AI and live receptionists so a small law firm never misses a call

A personal injury firm outside Chicago had no evening or weekend coverage, and even a lunch break could mean a missed call. It now uses a mix of AI and live receptionists around the clock.

Reported results

  • Qualitative: the source describes no more missed calls during breaks, evenings or weekends.

Source: Smith.ai case study (Source checked 2026-11-03)

How to try it

  1. Decide which calls AI can handle (scheduling, basic intake).
  2. Route sensitive calls to live staff.
  3. Review intake quality weekly.

⚠️ Watch out

Legal advice must never come from the receptionist.
