Law firms are losing clients in the first 30 minutes of silence.
Most law firms still route client inquiries manually. A paralegal reads every submission, figures out the case type, assigns it to the right attorney, writes a reply. Repeats this 20 times a day. I built a system that does all of that automatically — the moment a client hits submit. Here's what happens in the background: A client fills out a professional intake form hosted on a real website. The moment they submit, the workflow fires instantly. A JavaScript scoring engine evaluates their urgency level and referral source. It classifies them as Hot, Warm, or Cold in milliseconds. An AI Agent reads their case description in plain English and classifies it into the correct legal category — Personal Injury, Family Law, Criminal Defense, Business Law, Real Estate, or General Inquiry. The right attorney gets an instant Slack alert with the full case summary, confidence score, and client details. The client receives a personalized confirmation email — tone adjusted based on urgency. Hot clients feel like a senior attorney personally read their case. Cold clients get a professional standard acknowledgment. Everything is logged to Google Sheets automatically. The most interesting part — a divorce case involving a house dispute routes to Family Law, not Real Estate Law. Because the legal matter is the divorce. The AI understands legal theory, not just keywords. Tools: n8n · JavaScript · Groq (LLaMA 3.3) · Slack · Gmail · Google Sheets · GitHub Pages
