See what the audit covers08 · Ground rules
We don't give legal advice. Your attorneys make every legal decision.
It answers, screens, qualifies, books and routes. Questions about a claim go to your attorneys.
No test contact is made until the firm signs an authorization naming what we may test.
We log timestamps and outcomes. Recording happens only if you ask in writing.
Google bills you for those calls, so we never place one.
Names, numbers and times, so your staff can remove them from your CRM.
09 · The team
We're a two-person team. You talk to us directly from the first call to the build.
Co-founder & Chief Technology Officer. Writes the technical and integration spec for every build and connects the agents to your phones, CRM and case management.

10 · FAQ
No. LawSystems is a technology and services company. We don't give legal advice, and working with us does not create an attorney-client relationship with us or with your callers.
No. It never gives legal advice. When a caller asks for it, the agent says it can't advise and books a consult with your attorneys or hands the caller to your staff.
The agent tells every caller your firm can't take that time limits may apply to their claim and that they should see another lawyer promptly. With Referral Assist, the case is flagged and a referral packet is prepared for your attorney to decide on.
Speed-to-Lead only calls people who submitted your web form, only inside the calling hours set for your firm, and it stops when someone opts out. Whether your form's consent language is sufficient is your counsel's call: the audit flags it for their review. We don't give legal opinions on compliance.
Your callers' calls run through Twilio (the phone line), Vapi (call handling), Deepgram (speech-to-text) and Anthropic's Claude models (the conversation). Our own call logs live on Railway. We switch off model training on call data wherever a provider offers that setting, and we don't record calls unless your firm asks us to. Screening notes go to your CRM and are kept as long as our agreement with you says. On our own demo line, calls are not recorded and we delete transcripts after 30 days. The full provider list is on our subprocessors page.
Not by default. Audit test calls are not recorded unless you ask for it in writing. We log the timestamp, time to answer and outcome of each test contact.
Both answer the phone. We audit your intake, build into your CRM, tune on your real calls every week, and report measured results. The fair comparison is hiring an intake department.
