01
Emotional, urgent prospects
Family law inquiries are time-sensitive. Divorce, custody, and domestic violence cases need immediate response. Waiting 24 hours means losing the client to a faster attorney.
For Family Law Attorneys
Never miss a divorce or custody inquiry
Family law prospects are emotional, urgent, and shopping fast. 79% hire whoever responds first. FirmFirst helps you respond in minutes — not hours — and convert more clients.
How a $10,000 retainer walks out the door
Tuesday evening. You're at your kid's soccer game.
6:32 PM
Contested divorce inquiry submitted
A prospect with two children and a disputed property just filled out your intake form. High-value case: $8K–$15K retainer.
6:33 PM
Form submitted to two other firms
She's anxious and comparing options. Your form is one of three she submitted in the last 10 minutes.
6:38 PM
Competitor calls her back
Another attorney got a text notification, reviewed the inquiry on his phone, and called within 6 minutes.
6:52 PM
Retainer signed
The competitor quoted $10,000. She paid the retainer deposit over the phone. Case closed — for them.
Wednesday 8:15 AM
You see the inquiry in your inbox
14 hours too late. She's already represented. You never even knew she existed.
$10,000
That's what the other firm earned while you were offline. One contested divorce retainer. Gone.
Family law-specific challenges
02
High inquiry volume, low conversion
Family law attorneys get more inquiries than most practice areas, but only 14% convert to clients. Many prospects are shopping or can't afford representation. You need to qualify fast.
03
42% of inquiries arrive after hours
Family law prospects reach out at night and on weekends when emotions are high. If your intake shuts down at 5 PM, you're invisible to nearly half your potential clients.

Qualify before the consultation
Intelligence report shows employment, income signals, and location before you call. Know if they can afford your retainer — before you invest 30 minutes in a consultation.
Win more contested divorce retainers

Common questions from family law attorneys
How fast do I get notified of a new family law inquiry?
Under 30 seconds. You get a text message and email with the prospect's name, case type (divorce, custody, etc.), urgency level, and intelligence signals. You can review and respond from your phone.
How does FirmFirst handle sensitive custody and domestic violence cases?
Your intake form includes urgency-level questions that flag high-priority cases (active DV situations, emergency custody). These inquiries trigger immediate notification so you can respond appropriately. All data is encrypted and access-controlled.
Do I need to change my existing website?
No. You can embed the FirmFirst intake form on your current site with a single code snippet, or share a standalone form link. Setup takes under 5 minutes. No developer required.
What happens when I hit 10 inquiries on the free plan?
You keep using FirmFirst — nothing breaks. We'll prompt you to upgrade to Pro Solo at $49/month, which is less than one billable hour for most family law attorneys. Pro gives you unlimited inquiries plus person enrichment.
Can FirmFirst help me filter high-value contested divorce cases?
Yes. The intelligence report shows employment data, location, and income signals before you call back. You can prioritize prospects who signal ability to pay a $5K–$15K contested divorce retainer over those who may need a referral to legal aid.
