A concept for modern practice firms

Every missed call is a case
walking to the next firm on Google.

A parent whose teen was just rear-ended doesn't leave a voicemail — they call the next result. Harrow & Finch is a concept build showing what happens when an AI intake paralegal answers in under 30 seconds, qualifies the case, and live-transfers the keepers to the partner on-call.

Harrow & Finch AI Intake

Online · Saturday 11:42 PM

My son was just rear-ended. He's at the hospital. Do we have a case?

I'm so sorry — is he physically safe right now? If yes, I'll gather a few quick details and we can have a partner on the phone within 30 minutes. 🕊️

To a Human

The quiet bleed

Your best cases don't leave voicemails.

Three windows when a personal injury, family, or immigration lead reaches your line and decides to hang up if no one picks up. A mid-size GTA firm loses 15-30 cases a month this way — quietly.

9:00–10:30 AM

Court & motions window

Every lawyer in the firm is in chambers, on the stand, or prepping. The receptionist triages walk-ins, not fresh ad-spend leads. The best accident cases are the ones that call when they first get the hospital discharge note — morning.

Lost window: ~8 qualified leads / month

After 5 PM

Evening accident surge

Rush-hour rear-endings happen between 4 and 7 PM. By the time victims finish with EMS, it's 7 PM — your office is closed, and they're calling whoever answers first. One firm's voicemail is another firm's $40,000 settlement.

Lost window: ~12 qualified leads / month

Saturday + Sunday

Weekend incidents

DUI stops happen Friday night, custody disputes flare up Saturday afternoon, immigration panic calls come Sunday. 48 hours without coverage means the most emotionally-charged cases land in your competitor's CRM first.

Lost window: ~10 qualified leads / month

What your AI intake handles

Built to think like a first-year associate.

Trained on your practice areas, your province's statutes, your tone. It collects, qualifies, conflict-checks, and escalates — then stops. Never practices law, never gives advice, never fabricates.

⚖️

Case qualification

Walks every caller through a structured intake: incident type, date, injury severity, insurance status. Flags viable cases for immediate live-transfer; politely declines out-of-scope calls so you don't waste partner time.

🔍

Conflict check

Cross-references every caller's name and opposing party against your CRM (Clio, PracticePanther, Rocket Matter). Shuts down conflicted intakes on the spot — no awkward follow-up calls.

⏱️

Statute-of-limitations triage

Recognizes when a case is approaching the 2-year Ontario limitation period and routes it to urgent queue. Your paralegal walks in Monday to a pre-sorted list — no case accidentally expires in the inbox.

🌐

Multilingual intake

Handles English, French, Mandarin, Spanish, Punjabi, Arabic — the languages your GTA client base actually speaks. Caller self-selects; AI responds natively. Immigration intake just became an order of magnitude easier.

📲

Live-transfer to the partner on call

Qualified case + open rotation slot = warm handoff to the right lawyer's cell phone, in under 30 seconds. The AI briefs them as it rings: "PI case, 34-year-old rear-ended on 401, at Sunnybrook now."

📝

CRM-synced intake notes

Every conversation lands as a structured record in your practice management system — ready for retainer drafting. No more retyping what the caller already told the desk.

See it work

A Saturday night rear-ending, intake complete in 90 seconds.

This is a real conversation pattern your AI intake handles — gathering enough detail to route to the right practice group, respecting the caller's emotional state, and never promising an outcome.

Trauma-informed languageLeads with the person, not the case. Calms first, collects second.

Scope-awareRecognizes MVC (motor vehicle) + minor = PI group routing. Doesn't promise settlement value.

Live escalationCalls the on-call partner's cell with a structured brief the moment qualification completes.
