AI SDR & Lead Conversion Built for Criminal Defense Law Firms

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Worqd's AI SDR and AI voice agents answer, qualify, and book every inquiry in under 60 seconds — 24/7, including nights and weekends when most arrests happen. Instead of a voicemail, the prospect gets an immediate response and a booked consultation on your calendar.","question":"How do I stop losing criminal defense leads who call after hours?"},{"answer":"Yes. Our AI voice agents qualify the inquiry and book the consultation using your calendar and your rules. When a call needs human judgment — like a distressed family member before a bail hearing — it can be handed to a real person on your team with full context, so nothing gets repeated or lost.","question":"Can an AI receptionist handle sensitive criminal defense intake calls?"},{"answer":"Our pipeline recovery service reactivates the contacts already in your existing CRM and turns them back into booked calls — no platform switch needed. You only pay for the conversations that come back, which makes it a low-risk way to recover demand you've already paid to generate.","question":"What happens to all the old leads sitting in my law firm's CRM?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free growth call where we find your bottleneck — your buyer, offer, channels, and response process. From there, campaigns, creative, outreach, and response go into motion quickly, and paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch.","question":"How long does it take to get AI intake set up for my firm?"},{"answer":"A traditional answering service takes a message; Worqd's AI SDR qualifies the prospect and books the consultation in under 60 seconds, around the clock. Plus, one partner runs your whole path from first click to booked call — ads, creative, and follow-up under one plan and one report — instead of separate vendors for each piece.","question":"Why use Worqd instead of a legal answering service for criminal defense?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Book a Free Growth Call","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Tell us about your practice areas — DUI, misdemeanors, felonies — and your current intake process.
