Expected results

Higher
Intake Completion Rate

Conversational intake feels less intimidating than long forms, so more visitors complete the process.

Less
Consultation Prep Time

When AI pre-collects case type, timeline, and basics, attorneys spend consultations on substance rather than intake.

42%
After-Hours Lead Capture

Percentage of potential client inquiries that arrive outside office hours and are captured by AI (industry data per Drift State of Conversational Marketing).

Higher
Client Conversion Rate

Faster first response and a professional intake experience improve prospect-to-client conversion (per Drift Lead Response Survey benchmarks).

Best for

Poor fit when

Your jurisdiction restricts automated communications about legal matters.

Your firm only takes referrals through partner relationships, not inbound web inquiries.

Your matters are protected by privilege rules that AI logging would complicate.

Frequently asked questions

Can the bot give legal advice?

No. The chatbot provides general information about practice areas and processes. It explicitly avoids legal advice, case evaluations, or outcome predictions. For legal advice, clients are directed to schedule a consultation with an attorney.

Is client information secure?

Chatsy uses encryption in transit and at rest. For attorney-client privilege considerations, configure the bot as a pre-intake tool that collects general information before formal engagement.

Is client communication through the chatbot confidential?

Yes. All conversations are encrypted and stored securely. Chatsy does not use customer data to train AI models, maintaining attorney-client privilege expectations.
