Legal Intake Services

Legal intake services built to screen, not just answer the phone.

Most legal intake call centers log a message and pass it along. Ours runs every claimant through a legal-specific qualification stack before your firm ever sees the file — case type, timeline, documentation, consent, all verified.

I. The Problem

In-house intake is expensive. Outsourced intake usually just unqualified triage.

Hiring and training paralegals to staff phones is a fixed cost that scales with headcount, not case volume. Hand it to a generic call center and you get the opposite problem — someone who can log a name and number, but has no idea what makes a claim viable in arbitration versus one that dies at the statute of limitations. Either way, your associates end up doing the qualifying work anyway, on cases that were never going to make it.

II. What We Mean By Intake

Legal intake services, not a phone bank.

ArbitrationIntel's legal intake services combine campaign-funded reach with a legal-specific screening layer built around the case types plaintiff-side arbitration firms actually take: mass-tort fraud, forced-arbitration consumer claims, TCPA, FINRA and securities disputes. Every claimant is verified, checked against the elements of a viable claim, and packaged into a structured case file before your firm sees it — not routed to you the moment a phone stops ringing.

III. The Screening Stack

Five stages between an inquiry and a case file.

I
Reach

Funded campaigns find claimants matched to the case types your firm handles.

II
Initial Screen

Case type, jurisdiction, and rough timeline are checked before a human is involved.

III
Verification

Identity, contact consent, and basic documentation are confirmed by a trained intake specialist.

IV
Legal Qualification

Statute of limitations, an applicable arbitration clause, and evidence of harm are checked against the elements of a viable claim.

V
Package & Deliver

A structured case file — not a raw contact record — is routed to your firm by practice area and open capacity.

A claim that fails stage III or IV never reaches your intake team at all.

IV. Intake Services vs. a Call Center

A legal intake call center answers. Legal intake services qualify.

Typical Legal Intake Call Center

Coverage, not judgment

  • Scripted greeting, message taken, ticket opened.
  • No legal-specific screening — every caller looks the same.
  • Volume metrics: calls answered, average hold time.
  • Your associates re-screen every file that lands in the queue.

ArbitrationIntel Intake Services

Judgment, then coverage

  • Case-type, statute, and documentation checked before delivery.
  • Trained on the fraud verticals your firm actually litigates.
  • Quality metric: percentage of delivered files that convert to signed cases.
  • Your associates open a file already worth their time.

V. In-House vs. Outsourced

You keep the law. We keep the queue.

In-house intake gives you control but caps your reach at your own hiring budget. Outsourcing to ArbitrationIntel doesn't hand your firm's identity to a stranger on the phone — every claimant is disclosed as being routed to a participating arbitration firm, and the attorney-client relationship, case strategy, and prosecution stay entirely with you. We run the qualification layer upstream of that relationship, not inside it.

Verified contact & consent

Confirmed phone, email, and documented consent to be contacted by a participating firm.

Case-type classification

Matched to your practice areas — mass tort, TCPA, FINRA, forced-arbitration consumer claims, and more.

Documented harm summary

A written account of the claim, checked against the elements your firm will need to prosecute it.

Capacity-matched delivery

Volume paced to what your firm can actually take on — not a flood you have to triage.

VI. Questions Firms Ask

The questions you're already asking.

What exactly are legal intake services?

The screening layer between a raw inquiry and a case your firm can act on — verifying identity, consent, case type, and the legal elements of a viable claim before a file ever reaches your team.

Is this the same as a legal intake call center?

No. A call center answers and logs. Our legal intake services run every claimant through a legal-specific qualification stack — statute of limitations, arbitration clause, documentation — before delivery, and can operate with or without live-call coverage depending on your practice.

How do you verify a claimant's story before it reaches us?

Trained intake specialists confirm identity, contact consent, and basic documentation, then check the claim against the elements it would need to hold up in arbitration — case type, timeline, and evidence of harm.

What case types do you screen for?

The verticals plaintiff-side arbitration firms fight most: mass-tort fraud (Ozempic, solar, HVAC, timeshare, warranty), TCPA and robocall claims, data-privacy, and FINRA or securities disputes. Coverage depends on your practice area and active campaigns.

Can intake integrate with our existing case management system?

Delivered case files are structured for a direct handoff into most case management workflows. Exact integration depends on your firm's system — ask about it on the call.

What does it cost?

Structured per panel arrangement and paced to your firm's capacity — not sold as a flat per-lead rate. Bring your practice areas and volume goals to the call and we'll walk through it.
