Florida, call by call

An all-party-consent state, and one opening on every call.

  • Florida is an all-party-consent state for recording calls (Florida Statutes § 934.03): every party to the call has to consent, not only the one recording it. Every call opens with the same fixed disclosure, sent as the agent’s opening line: the caller is speaking with an AI assistant and not an attorney, the call is recorded and transcribed, staying on the line is consent, and anyone who would rather not be recorded can hang up (the exact words).
  • The Florida Bar’s advertising rules, Rules 4-7.11 through 4-7.22, are detailed, and many lawyer advertisements have to be filed for the Bar’s review. The number those advertisements print stays yours: you keep your own phone number, and nothing changes for the people calling you.
  • Rule 4-7.18 of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar restricts a lawyer’s telephone and real-time electronic contact with prospective clients, and bars written solicitation in a personal-injury matter within 30 days of the incident. Intake Gateway answers the calls made to your line; how a Florida rule bears on the way you use it is a question for you and your counsel.
  • Forwarding only after hours is a choice you make with your phone carrier or phone system, not a setting here. You keep answering in the day and your agent takes nights and weekends.

A guide to after-hours intake

Not a message-taker

A generic AI receptionist takes a message. This one runs your intake.

You hear every call

The recording, the transcript, a summary and the structured intake for every call are in your dashboard. Download what you need for your file: the recording, transcript, summary and intake are removed on a fixed schedule measured from each call.

Urgent cases offered a live transfer

A fatality, anything involving a city or a public body, an adjuster pushing for a recorded statement, evidence about to disappear: the agent recognizes the signs and offers to put the caller through to you live, in the hours you allow transfers. When it is unsure, it offers the transfer.

A callback promised, or a consultation booked or requested

Every routine caller is told the office will call them back, and gives the time that suits them. Connect a calendar and the agent books an ordinary case's consultation instead, from your real availability, while the caller is still on the phone, or requests one where your calendar asks you to confirm.

Pricing

One plan. Every answered call included.

One plan, $149 a month, every answered call included. Fair use is a guide of up to 100 answered calls a month for one firm’s own line, not a cap: nothing meters your calls or cuts them off at that number. If you are consistently and substantially above it, we may get in touch to agree terms that fit that volume, and if we cannot agree any, the Terms of Service let either side end the plan.

Questions

What Florida firms ask about intake after hours.

Has the Florida Bar said anything about lawyers using AI?

The Florida Bar publishes guidance on lawyers’ use of generative AI; check its current version. Whether this product fits your duties under it is for you and your counsel.

Can I word the recording disclosure differently for Florida callers?

No. It isn’t customizable, on purpose: it is the same legal disclosure, worded the same way, for every firm and every state. The only things that change between firms are your firm’s own name being spoken in it and, if you’ve switched Spanish on, one added sentence at the end offering Spanish. Whether its wording meets your bar’s rules is for you to check.

Does the agent give Florida callers legal advice?

No. Chapter 454 of the Florida Statutes governs who may practice law in Florida, and the Florida Bar enforces it. The agent never gives legal advice or predicts an outcome: that is a hard rule, not a setting. Asked a legal question, such as whether they have a case, it does not answer it: it says who will.

If a Florida caller is hurt badly at 3 a.m., does my phone ring?

Urgent transfers go to the transfer number you set, in the days and hours you allow them (all hours by default). To keep nights quiet, allow transfers only in your working hours: outside them the agent connects no one and flags the call for you, with a hot case named in the email’s subject line. Only a call already under way when your hours end may still be put through.

Many of my Florida callers speak Spanish. Does that work at night?

Yes, at any hour, if you switch Spanish on. It is off until you do, and the setting asks you to turn it on only if someone at your firm can follow up with a Spanish-speaking client. There is no extra cost. Spanish intake for Florida firms
