WhatsApp AI Bot for Law Firms: Screen Clients 24/7

A potential client has a fender bender at 11 PM. They Google personal injury lawyers, find your website, and want to talk NOW. Your office is closed. They WhatsApp the next firm on the list, and that firm has an AI bot that responds in 3 seconds. You lost the case before morning.

Here is What That Looks Like

Customer
Hi, I was in a car accident tonight. Do you handle personal injury cases?
AI Bot
I am sorry to hear about your accident. Yes, our firm handles personal injury cases including car accidents. Are you okay? Have you received medical attention?
Customer
I went to the ER, they said I have whiplash. The other driver ran a red light.
AI Bot
I am glad you got checked out. That is important for your case. A few quick questions so our attorneys can follow up with you first thing in the morning: Did you file a police report? And do you have the other driver's insurance information?
Customer
Yes, I filed a report. I have their insurance info too.
AI Bot
Good, you have done everything right so far. Our personal injury team will review your case first thing tomorrow morning. Can I get your name and the best number to reach you? Initial consultations are free.

Real conversation example. The bot answers questions, collects info, and hands off to your team when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the bot give legal advice?

No. The bot collects intake information and answers general questions about your firm's services, fees, and process. It never provides legal advice. All conversations include a disclaimer.

Is it HIPAA/confidentiality compliant?

WhatsApp messages are end-to-end encrypted. Your RunMyClaw server is dedicated (not shared). However, consult your bar association about client communication requirements in your jurisdiction.

How much does it cost?

$30/mo for RunMyClaw hosting plus $5-12/mo in API costs. Compare that to a missed client worth $5,000-50,000 in fees.

Can it screen for case type?

Yes. Train the bot with your practice areas. It asks qualifying questions (case type, timeline, jurisdiction) and flags qualified leads for attorney follow-up.
