# The first firm to answer signs the client. Be that firm, at 2 a.m.

Remi, the AI receptionist from Keres AI, answers every new-client call in two rings, collects conflict-check details, qualifies the matter for your practice area, and books the consultation straight into your calendar. A single new case is worth thousands, and the calls that produce them often arrive after your office is closed.

- Answers in 2 rings
- Contract Month-to-month
- Found from $499/mo

## What does Keres AI do for law firms?

Keres AI helps law firms sign more of the clients who call. Remi, its AI intake receptionist, answers new-client calls in two rings, 24/7, collects the matter type, the opposing party and urgency, and books the consultation on your calendar. It never gives legal advice and never clears a conflict itself. Found for law firms (website, Google Business Profile, reviews and legal directories) starts at $499 a month.

## How does Remi handle a new-client call for a law firm?

Remi by Keres AI is the AI receptionist that answers new-client calls in two rings, 24/7, including nights and weekends. Remi asks the intake questions for your practice areas, for example the incident date, injuries and insurer contact on a personal-injury call, or custody status and the next court date on a criminal-defense call.

Remi collects the full names of the caller, the opposing party and anyone else involved, then passes them to your team so the firm runs its own conflict check. Remi never gives legal advice and never tells a caller the firm can take the matter. When the facts are in, Remi books the consultation into Google Calendar or HubSpot during the call and texts a confirmation. Calls your rules mark urgent, such as an arrest or a filing deadline, go to the on-call attorney.

## What does Keres AI cost for a law firm?

Found for law firms costs from $499 a month and covers the firm website, the Google Business Profile, review requests and legal directories such as Avvo, FindLaw and Justia. Law-firm pricing sits above the $249 base because legal search is more competitive and the listings are different.

Remi, the AI receptionist, is quoted to your call volume and practice areas: one monthly rate with included minutes, then per minute, with no per-call fees. Both are month-to-month, and you cancel with 30 days’ written notice. There is no build fee at the Found base tier. The quote comes from a 30-minute call, and the office line, (973) 495-2223, is answered by a person. Keres AI does not publish a Remi price because call volume and intake length vary from firm to firm.

## What does Keres AI not do for law firms?

Remi answers in English only today, so a firm with many Spanish-speaking callers should weigh that first. Keres AI is not SOC 2 or HIPAA certified and does not sign BAAs or DPAs. Remi books into Google Calendar or HubSpot; Keres AI has no Clio, Lawmatics or MyCase integration today, although Zapier can pass intake to other tools.

Remi does not run conflict checks, assess cases or give legal advice: those decisions stay with your attorneys. If your firm wants a person on every call, a live legal answering service such as AnsweringLegal or LEX Reception is the better choice. The [law-firm comparison](https://www.keresai.com/best-ai-receptionist-for-law-firms) lists them alongside AI options, with the prices each vendor publishes.

## Why intake decides the case

A prospective client calling a law firm is anxious and ready to act now, so the firm that answers live and books the consultation usually earns the retainer. Calls that hit voicemail rarely produce a callback — the caller simply dials the next firm on the list, and accidents, arrests and family emergencies do not wait for office hours.

## What does Remi do on the call, in order?

Remi runs the script you would run if you had time to answer every call yourself: in your vocabulary, in this order, every time.

1. **Conflict check**

   Remi takes the caller’s name, the opposing party and the other driver or business involved, then flags the matter for your conflict review before anyone promises anything.
2. **Matter qualification**

   Practice area, what happened, when it happened, whether there is a police report or filing, and whether any deadline is already running.
3. **Urgency**

   A custody emergency and a slip-and-fall from March do not get the same handling. Remi grades the urgency on your rules and escalates the ones that cannot wait.
4. **Consult booking**

   Real availability offered on the call, the consultation written into your calendar, and a confirmation text the caller can reply to.
5. **Intake record**

   The full intake summary is written to HubSpot, or passed to other tools through Zapier, so the attorney reads the file rather than re-interviewing the client.

## Which practice areas does Remi cover?

- **Personal injury**

  Accident details, injuries, treatment so far, police report, insurer contact. The intake that decides whether a case is worth the consult.
- **Criminal defense**

  Charge, custody status, next court date, and an urgency grade that gets an arraignment tomorrow in front of a person tonight.
- **Family law**

  Matter type, jurisdiction, children involved, any active filing or order — collected calmly, without a form the caller has to fill in.
- **Immigration**

  Status, deadlines, prior filings and language preference.

## What happens after the call?

Answering is stage one of three. Theo, the Keres AI follow-up worker, confirms and reminds so the appointment is kept, and June, the reactivation worker, works the list of people who already chose you and sends every customer the same review request.

- **Theo**

  Follow-Up Worker

  [What Theo does](https://www.keresai.com/agents/follow-up)

  - Confirms the consultation, reminds the day before, handles the reschedule, and collects documents in advance so the attorney is not chasing a police report an hour before the meeting.
- **June**

  Reactivation Worker

  [What June does](https://www.keresai.com/agents/reactivation)

  - Revives closed-lost consultations from the last six to twelve months, and sends every client the same review request after the matter closes; a reply that mentions a problem also goes to the partner.

## Found, from $499 a month.

Legal is the most competitive local search there is, the listings ecosystem is different — Avvo, FindLaw, Justia — and the review compliance rules are stricter. Found for firms starts at $499 a month and covers the site, the Google Business Profile, reviews, listings and AI-search visibility.

## How does Keres AI handle compliance and call data?

Conflict screening happens before any advice is given, and Remi never offers legal advice. Call data is retained on your schedule and access is limited to the people who run your account. Keres does not sign DPAs or BAAs today, so ask before you sign.

## Law firms FAQ

### Does it give legal advice?

No, and it says so. Remi collects facts and conflict-check names, grades urgency and books the consultation. Anything that sounds like advice gets a "the attorney will go through that with you on Monday" and, if it is urgent, a warm transfer.

### How does the conflict check work?

Remi collects the caller’s name, the opposing party and any other involved party, then passes them to your team to run the conflict check (Keres AI has no Clio or Lawmatics integration today). It never clears a conflict on its own — that decision stays with the firm.

### What does it cost?

Found for firms starts at $499/month. Remi is quoted to your call volume, practice areas and integrations. Month-to-month, no setup fee on the Found base tier. To size what faster intake is worth, use the [legal intake ROI calculator](https://www.keresai.com/tools/legal-intake-roi-calculator).

### How long does setup take?

It depends on your call flows and integrations; Keres agrees the timing with you on the first call. We spend thirty minutes on how your intake runs today, write the script for your practice areas, connect your number and your calendar or CRM (Google Calendar, HubSpot; others through Zapier), and you test it before it answers a real client.

### What if a caller needs an attorney right now?

You set the escalation rules — an arraignment, a custody emergency, a named existing client — and Remi warm-transfers to the on-call number. If nobody answers, the on-call attorney gets a "call me now" alert with the intake already written down.

### Is there a contract?

No long-term contract. Month-to-month, cancel with 30 days’ written notice, and you keep your number and your data.
