Structured Event Summaries
Deliver concise call transcripts, caller details, and timestamps to your inbox.
The Cost of Missed Legal Intake
In British Columbia, prospective legal clients seeking immediate counsel will call another firm if sent to voicemail.
The Math of Missed Opportunity
- Avg. New Matter Retainer $2,500 - $10,000
- High-Value Litigation Matter $25,000+
- Missed Calls / Week 2
- Weekly Loss (Conservative) ~$5,000
- Annual Lost Revenue $260,000+
*Conservative estimates based on average job values
Turn "Missed" into "Booked"
You're often in an attic, on a roof, or dealing with water. Physically, you cannot answer. A missed call is an immediate lost job to the next guy in Google.
ZenithCall answers specifically when you can't, takes the job details, and texts you the info. Securing a single additional retained matter pays for years of service.
