The AI legal answering service for US attorneys and law firms. Orval answers every call, captures case details, schedules consultations, and handles client intake — 24/7, with the confidentiality and discretion legal practice demands.
Orval captures the right fields for the practice area the caller mentions. No generic scripts — proper case intake for personal injury, conveyancing, family, employment, criminal, wills and probate matters.
“Had a rear-end yesterday afternoon, been referred by my GP. Their insurer is chasing me for a statement.”
Orval’s intake scripts are configured around your firm’s practice mix. If you focus on commercial litigation, immigration, tax, or a niche area, we’ll build the right intake template — no off-the-shelf answering service could do this.
A CAB referral on a Thursday evening — the kind that used to go to voicemail and never come back. Here’s what Orval does from the moment the phone rings to the moment your duty partner gets the case file.
A CAB caseworker phones on behalf of a client needing urgent family law advice. Orval picks up in your firm’s name, captures the nature of the matter, safeguarding flags, and urgency — without hitting voicemail or a rotating on-call solicitor.
“I’m calling on behalf of a client — she needs urgent family law advice before tomorrow morning.”
While the call is still running, Orval is writing the intake to your case management system — matter type, urgency, other party (if disclosable), safeguarding flags, and the relevant practice area.
Orval sends your family-law partner an SMS with a one-line summary, the matter file link, and the scheduled consultation. No missed voicemails, no CAB caseworker calling round other firms.
Drop in your firm’s numbers. See the annual fee income walking past reception when the phone rings out-of-hours — and what AI-handled intake would recover.
