You're losing clients to faster competitors
79% of legal consumers hire whoever responds first. The average solo attorney takes 24+ hours to return an inquiry. That's not a response time problem — it's a $36K–$60K/year revenue problem.

How a $5,000 retainer disappears while you're at dinner
Tuesday evening. You're finally sitting down with your family.
6:47 PM
Estate planning inquiry submitted
A prospect with aging parents and complex property just filled out your intake form. She needs help fast. $5K retainer case.
6:48 PM
She submits the same form to two other local attorneys
She's anxious and comparing options. Your form is one of three she submitted in the last 10 minutes.
6:54 PM
Competitor responds from his phone
Another attorney got a text notification, reviewed the inquiry, and called her back. 7 minutes.
7:20 PM
Retainer deposit paid over phone
The competitor earned $5,000 while you were eating dinner.
Wednesday 8:30 AM
You see the inquiry in your inbox
14 hours too late. She's already retained counsel. You never even knew she existed.
$5,000
One retainer. Gone. Because you saw the inquiry 14 hours too late.
The daily reality of solo practice
02
Half your day is non-billable
Solo attorneys bill only 2.9 of 8 hours per day. 40–50% of your time goes to admin: manual intake, phone tag, inbox searching, data entry. At $300/hour, that's $15K–$35K in lost billable time annually.
03
42% of inquiries arrive when you're closed
Evening and weekend inquiries go unanswered until the next business day. By then, the prospect has called three other attorneys — and hired one of them.

How FirmFirst works for solo practitioners
Instant notification in under 30 seconds
Text message and email the moment a prospect submits an inquiry. Review details on your phone between court appearances, at dinner, on weekends. Never miss another lead.
Auto-response while you're unavailable
Prospect gets an immediate acknowledgment: "Thank you, your inquiry has been received and will be reviewed shortly." This buys you time and tells the prospect they've been heard — before they call the next attorney.
Intelligence report before you call back
See phone type, email validity, employment, location, and LinkedIn profile before you dial. Know if the prospect is worth your time — before you invest 30 minutes in a consultation.
Mobile-first: respond from your phone
Review the full inquiry, intelligence report, and tap to call or email — all from your phone. Built for attorneys who work between courtrooms, not behind a desk.
