Spanish in Florida

What a Florida caller hears first.

  • Florida is an all-party-consent state for recording calls (Florida Statutes § 934.03). 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). It is written for all-party-consent recording states.
  • 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.
  • 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 the Florida rules bear on the way you use it is a question for you and your counsel.
  • More than one in five Floridians 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.
  • 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.

The exact disclosure wording, word for word

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.

Real personal injury qualification

Any kind of injury, not just crashes: what happened and when, injuries and treatment, who is responsible, whether an adjuster has already called. Then the questions that only matter for what actually happened — a police report for a crash, how long the hazard had been there for a fall, who owns the dog, whether they still have the product. Asked as a conversation, not read as a form.

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 Spanish intake.

Does a caller who switches to Spanish hear the recording disclosure in Spanish?

Yes. With Spanish on, the agent adds one Spanish sentence right after the recording disclosure and, for anyone who takes it up, runs the whole intake in Spanish — including a full, separate recording disclosure in Spanish, since someone who didn’t follow the English one hasn’t really consented by hearing it.

Florida is an all-party-consent state. Can I change what callers hear?

No. The opening is the same fixed disclosure for every firm and every state, and a firm can’t switch it off; the only things that change are your firm’s name spoken in it and, with Spanish on, the Spanish offer. It is written for all-party-consent recording states. Whether it meets your bar’s rules is for you to check.

Can a Florida caller get legal advice from the agent?

No. Florida Statutes § 454.23 makes the unlicensed practice of law a crime. The agent never gives legal advice or predicts an outcome: that is a hard rule, not a setting. Every Florida caller hears first that they are speaking with an AI assistant, not an attorney.

Has The Florida Bar written about lawyers using AI?

Yes. The Florida Bar 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.

How many Floridians speak Spanish at home?

More than one in five people in Florida aged five and over (US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 one-year estimates, table S1601). The figure counts people who are bilingual as well as those who speak little English.

If I leave Spanish off, what does a Spanish-speaking caller get?

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.
