Spanish in Arizona

Who speaks Spanish in Arizona, and what your callers hear.

  • More than one in six Arizonans aged five and over speak Spanish at home (US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 one-year estimates, table S1601).
  • You switch Spanish on yourself — 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.
  • Arizona is a one-party-consent state for recording calls (Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-3005). A firm can’t lean on that, because its callers are not all in Arizona when they call, so the opening is written for all-party-consent recording states. 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).
  • With Spanish on, one more sentence follows the fixed recording and AI disclosure, offering to continue in Spanish. A caller who takes that offer then hears the same disclosure again, in full, in Spanish.
  • Spanish is there from launch, at no extra cost: the one plan covers every answered call, in English and — if you switch it on — Spanish, 24 hours a day.

How to turn on Spanish

Not a message-taker

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

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.

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.

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.

Intake Gateway

$149 / month

  • Every answered call included — nothing is metered or billed per call
  • 24/7 intake in English, and in Spanish if you switch it on
  • Urgent cases are offered a live transfer in your hours; others get a callback, or a booked or requested consultation for an ordinary case once a calendar is connected
  • An email with the summary and intake after every call except one we are confident is spam

Questions

What Arizona firms ask before turning Spanish on.

How common is Spanish at home in Arizona?

More than one in six Arizonans aged five and over speak it at home (US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 one-year estimates, table S1601). That counts everyone who speaks Spanish at home, many of them in English as well, not only callers who would choose Spanish on the phone.

Does Arizona’s ER 7.3 on soliciting clients bear on a Spanish line?

ER 7.3 bars live person-to-person solicitation of new clients, such as cold-calling a known prospect. Intake Gateway answers the calls made to your line; how ER 7.3 bears on the way you use it, in either language, is a question for you and your counsel.

Will the agent answer an Arizona caller’s legal question in Spanish?

No, in Spanish or in English. Arizona’s ER 5.5 governs the unauthorized practice of law, enforced through the Arizona Supreme Court and the State Bar of Arizona. The agent never gives legal advice or predicts an outcome: that is a hard rule, not a setting. It takes down what happened and how to reach the caller, and says your attorney will follow up.

Arizona needs one party’s consent. Does a Spanish caller still hear the disclosure?

Yes, twice: once in English, as every caller does, and again in full in Spanish once they take the offer, because consent to words a caller didn’t follow isn’t really consent. The wording is fixed for every firm and every state; whether it meets your bar’s rules is for you to check.

Has the State Bar of Arizona said anything about lawyers using AI?

Yes. The State Bar of Arizona publishes guidance on lawyers’ use of generative AI; check its current version. We don’t read it for you: whether this product fits your duties under it is for you and your counsel.

What does a Spanish speaker hear if I leave Spanish off?

With Spanish off, a caller who can’t go on in English hears one sentence in Spanish saying this line can only help them in English and that the office will get their number, and the call ends. No intake is taken in a language they didn’t understand, and you still get the email with their number.
