A complete sales system for law firms, CPAs, and professional services
A potential client has a problem. They search. They click three websites. They place three calls.
The first attorney to talk wins 70% of the time.1 And 35% of law-firm calls go unanswered during business hours.2 If you're not picking up, you're not winning.
WebDevAuto is the complete client-acquisition system that catches the call, runs the intake, books the consult, and follows up: engineered for personal injury, family, criminal, estate, CPA practices, and financial advisors.
Where firms actually lose clients
In professional services, the math on intake is brutal:
- 35%2
of law-firm calls unanswered during business hours
not after-hours overflow, prospects calling during open hours and going to voicemail
- 70%1
of consumers go with the first attorney they speak with
speed of first response is the largest factor in conversion rate
- 79%3
say email response speed decides which firm they choose
- $2,500 to $3,0004
PI cost-per-signed-case via paid traffic
every prospect who calls and isn't captured is wasted ad spend
The expensive part of professional services isn't generating leads. It's catching the leads you already have and following up consistently.

Open the CalculatorBuilt for professional services
Law firms, CPAs, and consultancies, where the first to respond wins the client.
Ava answers every call. Runs the intake. 24/7.
- ▸Identifies matter type ("Auto accident? Family law? Estate? Tax issue?")
- ▸Asks the qualifying questions you'd ask: date of incident, jurisdiction, statute exposure, prior representation, conflict-check signals
- ▸Captures the facts that matter and stores them in your CRM
- ▸Books the consultation directly into your calendar
- ▸Flags emergencies and high-value matters for live attorney callback
A website that converts, engineered for legal and professional buyers
- ▸Load in under 2 seconds, Google's own research shows people leave sites that take longer to load
- ▸Capture every lead: phone, form, chat, click-to-call, all integrated and routed to the same CRM
- ▸Rank locally + by practice area: technical SEO done right, so when someone searches "personal injury attorney [city]" or "CPA for small business [city]" you appear
- ▸Match the polish of large firms. Without the $50k design retainer they paid
The 30-second SMS rescue + sub-5-minute follow-up
"Hi, this is [your firm]. We missed your call. Were you calling about a legal matter? I can have an attorney call you back within the hour, or you can text me details now."
Every prospect, every channel, in one place
- ▸Tagged by matter type and source
- ▸Prioritized (statute-of-limitations exposure > active matter > consult > inquiry)
- ▸Routed to the right attorney or intake coordinator
- ▸Scheduled for nurture if they don't book immediately
Lead Finder, for firms ready to grow beyond referrals and PPC
- ▸A discovery call to map your ideal client profile, practice area focus, and ethical-rules posture
- ▸A custom-tuned outbound campaign that respects bar-association solicitation rules, state-by-state outbound regulations, and your firm's professional-conduct standards
- ▸DNC compliance, CAN-SPAM, and per-message review (auto-send is not the default for professional services)
- ▸Direct integration with your CRM so warm prospects flow into the same intake queue as inbound
Reviews and reputation: the proof a high-stakes client checks before they ever call
- ▸After a matter closes or hits a milestone, the system requests a Google review at the moment the client is most satisfied, with wording that stays inside bar-advertising rules and never coaches or incentivizes
- ▸Reviews surface on your site, your Google Business Profile, and your practice-area pages, exactly where comparison-shoppers look
- ▸Unhappy feedback routes privately to a partner first, so a frustrated client reaches you before they reach the public
- ▸Every review gets a drafted, professional reply, so responding never becomes a partner's late-night task
From booked consult to signed engagement and collected retainer, without the chase
- ▸Engagement letters and intake paperwork go out the moment the consult is booked, so the client arrives ready to sign
- ▸Retainer and invoice links are delivered by text and email, with automatic reminders until they are paid
- ▸Consult no-shows trigger a same-day rebooking sequence instead of becoming a lost matter
- ▸Once the client signs, everything hands off cleanly into your case-management system rather than living in a paralegal inbox
The platform behind a steady caseload
The professional-services system is assembled from these services, each a closer look at how it wins higher-value clients:
Lead Generation
Deep diveFinds and qualifies the higher-value matters and clients, so your pipeline is not left to referrals and word of mouth.
Website Design
Deep diveAn authority site that wins the comparison-shopping client who is vetting three firms before they ever call.
Local SEO
Deep diveRanks you for the practice-area near-me searches with real local intent, the clients already looking to retain someone.
Tuned for professional services
Our system is configured per practice area: different intake scripts, different qualification questions, different follow-up cadences:
Personal injury
accident-fact intake, statute-of-limitations triage, treatment-and-billing tracking, signed-case ROI math
Family law
emotionally-aware intake, retainer collection, hearing-cycle automation
Criminal defense
urgency-aware intake (booking-out windows, arraignment timing), retainer flow
Estate planning
life-event intake (death, illness, marriage), follow-up cadence tuned to long sales cycles
CPA / accounting
recurring-engagement framing, tax-season surge handling, monthly-retainer onboarding
Financial advisors
compliance-aware intake, suitability questionnaire flow, KYC-adjacent capture
Independent insurance brokers
quote intake, 12-follow-up cadence baked in, multi-carrier comparison flow
Bankruptcy
means-test triage, document-heavy intake, filing-deadline reminders
Employment law
claim-window triage, employee-versus-employer intake split, evidence-collection prompts
Real estate and title
transaction-timeline intake, closing-coordination follow-up, document chase that does not stall the deal
We also serve immigration, IP, business-formation, mediation, and other professional-services specialties, these often need custom tuning beyond the templates above.
Why this isn't Clio, Smith.ai, or Lawmatics
You've probably looked at Clio (practice management), Smith.ai (AI phone answering), or Lawmatics (intake CRM). Each is good at one slice of the client-acquisition stack.
WebDevAuto is the integrated layer that does the website, the phone, the intake, and the nurture, so you don't bolt three vendors together and pay three monthly bills.
| Clio + Lawmatics + Smith.ai (separately) | WebDevAuto | |
|---|---|---|
| What it covers | Three vendors covering different slices of the funnel | One integrated client-acquisition system |
| Best for | Established firms willing to integrate and pay multiple vendors | Solo and small firms wanting one bill, one team, one system |
| Where it fits | Practice mgmt (Clio), intake CRM (Lawmatics), phone (Smith.ai) | From first website visit through signed engagement |
Too small for stitched-together vendors? We're built for the firm in between.
Pricing built around where you are
Most firms start with Website Design & Hosting ($150/mo) to establish the authority site that wins the comparison-shopping client. Add the CRM ($200/mo: Ava voice agent, AI intake, sub-5-minute auto-response, case-management integration, missed-call automation; AI billed by usage) and SEO & Google Business Profile ($300/mo) as you grow inbound volume.
For high-volume practices, multi-attorney firms that need custom call flows, or firms ready to add Lead Finder for compliant outbound, talk to us about a Custom App build.

Open the CalculatorFrequently asked questions
- Does the AI receptionist actually run a legal intake, or just take a message?
- It runs a real intake. Ava identifies the matter type, asks the qualifying questions your paralegal would (date of incident, jurisdiction, prior representation, conflict-check signals), captures the facts into your CRM, and books the consultation. Conflict-check signals are flagged for your team, not auto-resolved: Ava collects the facts, and a human still runs the actual conflict check before you engage.
- Will this replace Clio, Lawmatics, or Smith.ai?
- No. Those each cover one slice: practice management, intake CRM, or phone answering. WebDevAuto is the integrated layer across the website, the phone, the intake, and the nurture, so you're not paying three vendors and stitching them together. We integrate with Clio, MyCase, and PracticePanther rather than replacing your case-management system.
- How fast will a prospect actually hear back?
- On calls, Ava answers on the first ring. On form fills, AI acknowledges within five minutes, captures supplementary details, and books the consult instead of letting the form sit in an inbox overnight. Speed of first response is the single biggest factor in who signs the client: the first firm to talk wins the large majority of the time.
- Is the outbound prospecting compliant with bar advertising rules?
- Yes, and it's conservative by design. Outreach respects bar-association solicitation rules, state-by-state outbound regulations, DNC, and CAN-SPAM, and for professional services every message is human-reviewed before it sends. Auto-send is not the default. You see the full audit trail of who was contacted and why.
- Which practice areas is this tuned for?
- Personal injury, family, criminal defense, estate planning, CPA and accounting, financial advisors, and independent insurance brokers, with immigration, IP, business formation, and mediation supported via custom tuning. Each gets its own intake script and qualification logic, because a PI statute-of-limitations triage is nothing like an estate-planning life-event intake.
- What does it cost for a firm?
- À la carte and monthly: Website Design & Hosting at $150/mo, the CRM at $200/mo (Ava, AI intake, sub-five-minute auto-response, case-management integration, and missed-call automation, with AI usage billed separately), and SEO & Google Business Profile at $300/mo. High-volume or multi-attorney firms that need custom call flows can talk to us about a Custom App build.
- Can the AI book consultations straight into our calendar and case-management system?
- Yes. Ava books the consult directly into your calendar during the call, and the intake facts she captures flow into the CRM and across into Clio, MyCase, or PracticePanther. The prospect gets a confirmation and automatic reminders, so far fewer booked consults turn into no-shows.
- What happens to calls and intakes after hours, on weekends, and on a trial day?
- Ava answers around the clock, including the evenings and weekends when many personal-injury and criminal matters actually start. She runs the same intake, flags anything urgent for live attorney callback, and has the consult booked before a competing firm opens on Monday. Nothing sits in voicemail waiting for someone to get back to the office.
- How is privileged client information kept confidential and secure?
- Intake data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is restricted to your firm, and we never sell or share client information. Ava collects facts for your team to act on, she does not give legal advice or make representation decisions. For regulated workflows we scope data handling to your firm professional-conduct and confidentiality obligations.
- Do we have to change our phone number or move our existing website?
- No. We forward your existing number so your cards, signage, and directory listings keep working, and we can either rebuild your site or layer capture and intake onto the one you already have. The point is to plug the leaks without disrupting anything that already brings clients in.
- How long before a new firm site starts ranking for our practice areas?
- Local and practice-area rankings build over weeks to a few months, not overnight, and anyone promising page one in days is not being straight with you. What is fast is the conversion side: catching every call, responding in minutes, and following up consistently lifts signed-case numbers from the first week, while the SEO compounds underneath it.
- Can a multi-attorney firm route different practice areas to different intake queues?
- Yes. Intake scripts, qualification questions, routing, and follow-up cadences are configured per practice area, so an auto-accident call and an estate-planning call are handled differently and land with the right attorney or coordinator. Larger firms with custom call flows can talk to us about a Custom App build.
