01
Inquiries scattered across practice areas
Family law, real estate, estate planning, business formation — inquiries come from everywhere. Without one system to capture them all, inquiries get buried in email, voicemail, and contact forms.
For General Practice Attorneys
Every missed inquiry costs your practice $3K–$5K
General practice means diverse inquiries across multiple areas. But the math is the same everywhere: 79% of clients hire whoever responds first. FirmFirst centralizes every inquiry and ensures you respond fast.
How 3 different inquiries slip away in one week
A typical week in solo general practice.
Monday 7:15 PM
Divorce inquiry submitted
A prospect going through a contested divorce fills out your contact form. You're coaching your daughter's basketball team. The inquiry sits until Tuesday morning.
Tuesday 2:30 PM
Estate planning referral arrives
A financial advisor emails you a high-net-worth client who needs a trust. You're in court all afternoon. By the time you call back Wednesday, the prospect hired a specialist.
Thursday 8:00 PM
Real estate closing inquiry
A homebuyer needs a closing attorney by next week. Your website contact form sits in your inbox — you check it Friday morning.
Friday 9:00 AM
You process this week's inquiries
3 inquiries this week. All 3 went to faster competitors. Average engagement value: $3,500.
End of month
The math adds up
12 missed inquiries. At $3,500 average engagement, that's $42,000 in annual revenue — gone to attorneys who responded faster.
$42,000
That's what it costs to respond to inquiries 24 hours late instead of 5 minutes. One year. One solo practice. $42K gone.
General practice-specific challenges
02
Difficult to prioritize without context
Without pre-qualification, you don't know which inquiries are high-value (business formation for a growing startup — $5K) vs. low-value (traffic ticket — $300). You waste time on consultations that don't convert.
03
Solo attorneys bill only 2.9 hours per day
The average solo attorney bills 2.9 of 8 hours daily — 37% utilization. The other 5 hours go to admin, intake, and chasing inquiries. You need tools that save time, not add complexity.
billed out of 8-hour day — the rest is admin and missed clients

Qualify before the consultation
