{"faqs":[{"answer":"Yes. Our AI voice agents answer, qualify, and book the moment interest arrives — in under 60 seconds, 24/7 including after-hours and weekends. When a matter needs a person, the call is handed to a real member of your team with full context, following your calendar and your rules. The AI handles the waiting and the paperwork; your attorneys handle the law.","question":"Can an AI receptionist handle after-hours calls for a criminal defense firm without losing the human touch?"},{"answer":"No. Our AI workflow and back-office automation works with your existing CRM, helpdesk, phone, and document tools — no platform switch required. We build on the same production multi-agent systems that run the rest of the funnel, so everything stays connected to the tools your firm already uses.","question":"Will we have to replace our existing case management or CRM software?"},{"answer":"We start by finding the bottleneck before touching anything, then build the plan and launch quickly. Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch. SEO and answer-engine visibility compound over months. From there, we learn, improve, and scale what works.","question":"How fast can we see results after signing with Worqd?"},{"answer":"Yes. We don't send sensitive form fields to public analytics, our booking process requires explicit consent, and any outreach we run on your behalf is personalized and permission-aware — the opposite of a template blast. We also follow a strict anti-fabrication policy: no made-up numbers, testimonials, or claims.","question":"Does Worqd understand the compliance and confidentiality concerns of criminal defense practices?"},{"answer":"Integrated beats fragmented. With Worqd, one partner runs the whole path from first click to booked call — ads, creative, and AI-powered follow-up under one plan and one report.
