Answer what your firm does
Confirm that you handle custody modifications and relocation cases in his county, and share your consultation fee and what to bring.
Family law
An AI receptionist for family law firms that knows when a call can’t wait.
Parents and spouses call about divorce, custody, support, and relocation at the hardest moments of their lives. Your assistant answers calmly, asks your intake questions, checks whether it’s safe to call or text back, and books a consultation. Protective orders, withheld children, and hearings within days go straight to an attorney.
An AI receptionist for family law firms answers calls about divorce, custody, child support, and adoption when your staff can’t, using your practice areas, fees, and office hours. InsertChat’s assistant asks your intake questions, confirms a safe way to reach the caller, records the other parent’s name for your conflict check, and leaves custody and support questions to an attorney.
EXAMPLE WORKFLOW · Website chat
Turn a relocation worry into a consultation with the order on file
A father messages your website chat at 9:40 p.m. on a weeknight.
“My ex just told me she’s moving to Arizona with our kids next month. We have a custody order. Can she do that?”
02
Collect the custody details
Record the children’s ages, the county that issued the order, the other parent’s full name for your conflict check, and the planned move date.
03
Book the first open time
Offer the earliest consultation times and book one. The summary puts the move date up front, so the attorney sees how much time there is.
Your team sets the boundaries
Whether the move can be stopped is an attorney’s answer. The assistant tells him so, asks him to bring the custody order, and flags the move date for your team.
Illustrative scenario. Answers depend on your sources; actions depend on your connected tools and permissions.

Can an AI receptionist handle sensitive family law calls?
Yes, inside the boundaries you set. Choose the formal and reserved tone, and the assistant stays calm and brief while it gathers the basics. It asks whether it’s safe to call or text back before anyone does, and it records the answer on the contact. Threats, protective orders, and children at risk go straight to your team as urgent.
What should the assistant do if a caller is in danger?
Read the safety steps you write. You might tell callers in immediate danger to hang up and call 911, then share the local hotline and shelter numbers you list. The conversation is marked urgent, an email alert reaches your team, and the safe contact method the caller chose is waiting on the contact for whoever follows up.
How much does an AI receptionist for a family law firm cost?
Pro is $98 per month for one phone number, monthly credits, three staff seats, and three AI assistants. Calls draw credits in whole minutes, and an emotional 20-minute intake uses more of them than a two-minute question about parking, so watch usage in your first month. Paying yearly costs ten monthly payments upfront.

No. The assistant can’t see your case files or the court docket, so it logs the question for the client’s attorney or paralegal and marks it “needs you” in the shared inbox. You can also send saved clients straight to your office line with the caller setting that excludes saved contacts.
Yes, where your number supports SMS. The intake records the caller’s preferred contact method, so your staff see it before reaching out. Clients who start by text get answers by text, and anyone who replies STOP stops receiving messages.
