You are the attorney, the intake team and the front desk. handlo takes the front desk off your plate — answering while you’re in a hearing and handing you a callback list already sorted by what deserves an hour.
A solo practice pays for a missed call twice: once in the matter that walks away, and once in the hour spent chasing the ones that were never worth taking.
Your phone is off for three hours. handlo answers everything that comes in, and by the time you leave the courtroom you have a short written list — not six voicemails to replay.
Lead-generation companies, marketing pitches and automated dialers reach the same number a real prospect does. handlo separates them out, so your callback list is only ever matters.
handlo captures the type of matter, the dates involved, and whether the caller has already spoken to another attorney — enough for you to decide in ten seconds whether this is worth a callback.
Deep in a brief, you do not want to break for a status update. handlo takes the message with the matter reference and holds it until you surface.
Legal answering services bill a monthly retainer plus a charge per call. handlo is $49/mo to start with included minutes and a cap you set — and it does not cost more in the weeks you happen to be busiest.
Every call arrives written down and sorted, so twenty minutes between hearings goes on the two matters worth your time instead of replaying messages to find them.
Screening cold calls and unqualified inquiries is unpaid work. handlo absorbs it, identifies itself as an assistant, and never speaks to the substance of a matter — that stays yours.
A solo practice has one phone and one person to answer it, and both are in the same courtroom. The calls that arrive during a hearing are not evenly split between good and bad: one or two are matters worth an hour of your time, and the rest are dialers, marketers, and people who wanted a different firm entirely.
handlo answers all of them identically and sorts them afterward. When you walk out you get a list rather than a mailbox — who rang, what the matter is, which dates they mentioned, and whether they have already spoken to somebody else. Two minutes of reading replaces twenty of replaying.
There is no implementation project here, which is the point — a solo practice cannot staff one.
