The conversation flow

After-hours law-firm reception is a multi-step flow agent. Each box is a stage in the conversation; the agent moves along the labelled paths based on what the caller says.

How the agent opens

“Thank you for calling the law office. Our team is unavailable right now, but I can take your details. Are you an existing client or calling about a new matter?”

How it works

1
Greet & classify
Greet, determine existing vs new client and the {matter_type}. Note if the caller says it's urgent/time-sensitive.
2
Intake & conflict basics
Capture {caller_name}, {callback_number}, {opposing_party} and a short description. No legal advice. Use log_intake.
3
Connect on-call
The matter is time-sensitive: transfer to on_call_line after taking basic details.
