An AI that knows attorney calls.
Trained on the calls an attorney actually gets — emergencies, common asks, the urgency cues that matter. Never quotes prices. Never books on its own. Captures every real call so a member of your team can follow up.

If you run an attorney business, you already know the pattern: an unknown number rings, you decline because most are spam, and the one in ten that was a real customer goes to your competitor instead. Carrier spam filters make it worse — they silently auto-reject calls before your phone even rings. VettedCalls puts a 10-second AI screen between the unknown caller and your phone. The AI captures the caller's name and what they need, recognizes attorneys-specific urgency cues, and only forwards real calls to you.
The AI is trained on the calls attorneys actually get. It treats "arrested", "in jail", "in custody", "served papers", "subpoena" and similar phrases as emergencies that escalate to your cell immediately, bypassing any schedule or routing. If a caller mentions "just arrested / in custody (or family member)", you ring within seconds — no AI hold, no voicemail.
For non-emergency calls — just in an accident, possible injury, closing on real estate (deadline), new client inquiry (consultation request), existing client matter follow-up — the AI captures the caller's name, what they need, and (for service calls) the address. It works through 7 fields naturally in conversation, never as a checklist, so when you call back you have full context instead of "someone called, no message." Real attorneys report 30–50% fewer missed real-customer calls in the first month.
One firm rule: the AI never quotes prices over the phone — not hourly rates, not minimums, not a "ballpark." Pricing always depends on the specifics, and that conversation belongs with you (or someone on your team), not with a screening AI. The AI politely deflects pricing questions and gathers enough info that your callback is fast and on-target.
Setup takes about 5 minutes. You keep your existing phone number — VettedCalls uses carrier-level conditional forwarding, so contacts ring you directly and unknown callers route to the AI screener first. After signup, you tap an activation file on your phone, grant permissions, dial one short forwarding code, and you're live. Cancel anytime; no contracts; 14-day money-back if it isn't a fit for your attorney business.

Sample exchanges
Real example responses your AI is trained on for attorney calls.
What your AI captures on every call
- Their name (don't ask for callback number -- caller ID handles it; do the last-four confirm)
- Existing client or new inquiry
- General nature of the matter (family, criminal, injury, real estate, business, estate, immigration)
- For existing client: matter name only -- do NOT capture details over an unsecured line
- Geographic jurisdiction (state, county) -- many attorneys are state-licensed
- Any deadline (court date, statute of limitations, closing, response deadline)
- Referral source (often attorney peers / past clients)
Trust signals it weaves in naturally
Not recited like a script — referenced when relevant.
- Licensed in [state] -- the team can confirm jurisdiction
- Initial consultation available
- Confidential and privileged
- Years of experience in [practice area]
- Member of [state bar] in good standing
What your AI never does
- Never books or schedules appointments — gathers info + timing only
- Never says "free estimate" or "free quote"
- Never asks for your caller's email
- Never claims to be human (deflects with humor)
- Confirms the callback by last-four digits — doesn't ask for a number it already has
