Practice-area triage
When to use: Use it as the opener when your firm covers several distinct practice areas.
Message
Hi, thanks for contacting firm name. To get you to the right person quickly, which is closest to what you need?
- area one
- area two
- area three
If none of those fit, other note -- just tell me in a few words what is going on and I will point you the right way.
Once I know the area, I will connect you with the attorney who handles it and, if it helps, get a short consultation on the calendar this week -- no pressure, just a clear next step.
After-hours greeting
When to use: Use it as the opener outside business hours, when live staff are unavailable.
Message
Hi, thanks for reaching out to firm name. Our office is closed right now, but your message will not be lost.
Leave your contact capture and a line about what you need, and someone from the team will get back to you callback window.
We are back during hours. If this cannot wait until then, please say so and I will make sure it is flagged as urgent.
New-client intake invite
When to use: Use it when the visitor is likely a new client exploring whether to hire you.
Message
Hi, welcome to firm name. If you are weighing whether we are the right firm for you, that is exactly what this chat is for.
There is no commitment in starting the conversation -- no obligation note. You can share the basics of your situation here, or through intake form whenever you are ready.
Once we have the outline, next step. To begin, what brought you in today?
Urgent-matter greeting
When to use: Use it as the opener when your visitors often arrive with urgent or time-critical matters.
Message
Hi, you have reached firm name. If your matter is time-sensitive, let us not lose a minute.
If you are facing a life-threatening emergency, emergency note. If there is a legal deadline, or you have been contacted by police or a court, call us now at urgent line rather than waiting on chat.
Otherwise, tell me what is happening and deadline note, and I will get you to the right person quickly.
Consultation offer
When to use: Use it when the visitor seems ready to talk to a lawyer about their matter.
Message
Hi, thanks for reaching out to firm name. The best next step is usually a proper conversation with one of our lawyers.
We offer an initial consultation -- consult detail. You can grab a time here whenever it suits: booking link.
It helps to have prep note on hand, but do not worry if you do not. First though, tell me briefly what you need so I book you with the right person.

What should a law firm live chat welcome message say?
Greet the visitor warmly, reassure them a real person can help, and invite them to describe their matter in plain words. Keep it short and jargon-free, and surface urgent or after-hours paths so time-critical cases are not stuck in chat.
How should the chat handle an urgent legal matter?
Surface the urgent path in the very first message. Direct genuine emergencies to official emergency services, and route legal deadlines or police and court contact to a phone line rather than slow chat. Never attempt legal advice through the welcome message.
What happens if someone chats after hours?
The after-hours greeting says plainly that the office is closed, so no one waits for a live reply that is not coming. It captures a contact detail and sets a callback window, and flags anything the visitor marks as urgent.
Should the welcome message offer a consultation?
Yes, when the visitor seems ready to speak with a lawyer. Say what the consultation covers and whether it is free, share a booking link, and ask what they need first so they reach the right person. Clear expectations reduce no-shows.
