Starlight

Thank you for calling — you've reached the firm's 24-hour line. I can take your details now so a lawyer calls you back first thing. Are you safe, and is anyone in need of urgent medical help?

Caller

No, we're okay… I was rear-ended on the 401 last Tuesday. My neck's been getting worse and the insurance company keeps calling me.

Starlight

I'm sorry that happened — let's get everything down so the right lawyer can help. Don't give the insurer a statement yet. Can I start with your full name?

The Problem

Missed calls are missed revenue.

Injured people call the moment they decide to act — often at night, from a hospital hallway, or on a lunch break. The firm that picks up first usually signs the case.

40%
of calls to law firms from prospective clients are actually answered. After hours, over 60% go unanswered.
Legal intake industry benchmarks
~80%
of callers who reach voicemail hang up without leaving a message — and dial the next firm in the search results.
Inbound call studies
62–78%
of clients hire the first lawyer they actually speak with. Speed to a real conversation is the whole game.

The Platform

A full intake department that answers in seconds.

Not a chatbot and not an answering service — lead-conversion infrastructure built specifically for Ontario personal-injury practice.

24/7 after-hours & overflow intake

Every call answered in seconds — 2 PM or 2 AM. A patient, natural voice that lets distressed callers pause mid-sentence without being cut off, and hands off cleanly when your team is available.

Full PI intake — not a form

Accident details, injuries and treatment, fault, insurance, witnesses, police report, prior representation. Every answer is saved as the call happens — if the caller hangs up early, you still get the lead.

Conflict + limitations pre-screen

Screens the caller and opposing party against your real Clio or Filevine contacts, and runs an Ontario-specific limitations screen — Limitations Act clocks, minors, the 10-day municipal notice, the 60-day snow-and-ice notice. Marginal cases are flagged for a lawyer, never auto-rejected.

CASL consent vault

Express consent captured as audio, verbatim transcript, timestamp, and script version in a tamper-evident, hash-chained vault with 6-year retention. A texted "STOP" revokes consent instantly — in the compliance record, not just at the carrier.

CRM write-back

The contact, matter, and a complete intake note land in Clio Manage, Filevine, or Google Sheets before the goodbye — with an automatic fallback path so a lead is never lost to an API hiccup. Each firm's credentials stay strictly its own.

Warm transfer & smart callbacks

Hot lead during business hours? Starlight live-bridges the caller to your intake team, with voicemail fallback if no one picks up. Otherwise it books the callback on your calendar and sends a consent-gated confirmation text.


Compliance & Safety

Guardrails in code, not just in the prompt.

Compliance isn't a policy document here — it's enforced by the software itself, on every single call.

Emergency kill switch

9-1-1 comes first

A code-level safeguard listens on every call. If a caller is in active danger, the AI is instantly silenced and the caller is redirected to emergency services — no exceptions, no prompt tricks.

Code-level consent gate

No consent, no text. Ever.

Every outbound SMS passes through the consent vault before it sends. No active CASL consent on record means the message is blocked by the software — a floor the AI cannot talk its way around.

Tamper-evident records

Provable, auditable consent

Every consent entry is cryptographically chained to the one before it, so records can't be quietly edited or deleted. Canadian-hosted, PIPEDA-aligned, retained for 6 years.
