FAQ

Legal Intake FAQ

Does Meridian give legal advice?

No. Meridian captures intake facts and routes inquiries. Legal judgment, advice, and professional obligations stay entirely with the law firm.

Can Meridian tell someone whether they have a case?

No. Case merit, limitation periods, conflict checks, and representation decisions remain with the firm’s licensed professionals.

How are deadlines handled?

If an inquiry mentions a deadline or urgent matter, Meridian is configured to flag the record for immediate human review in the firm's urgent queue.

Is a lawyer-client relationship formed?

No. The intake path explicitly states that the inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship.

The math of recovery

Model your pipeline exposure.

Personal injury firms often measure cost-per-lead, but rarely measure the cost of intake-path leakage. When high-intent inquiries hit a generic answering layer after hours, the risk is not just a missed call—it is a $15,000+ matter entering pipeline limbo.

$48,000

Monthly pipeline exposure

40 recovered inquiries per month × $15,000 avg. matter value × 8% close rate = $48,000 monthly exposure. Beyond recovery, the system ensures jurisdictional fit is captured before your staff picks up the phone.
