Where it stops.

No legal advice. It doesn't comment on anyone's case.
It asks before it takes notes on a matter.
It never promises the firm will take the file.
Anyone can ask for a person, any time.

Fair questions.

Never. It takes your intake, answers approved questions like your consult fee, and books or escalates the call.

Yes. It asks for the other parties and puts them in the intake summary, so you can check before the consult.

Clio sync is coming soon. Today, intakes go to your dashboard and inbox, and consults go into Google or Outlook.
