Client Calls Your Firm
Your Amata receptionist picks up using your custom greeting — callers believe they've reached your in-house front desk.
Intake & Screening
The receptionist screens the call, identifies the matter type, and completes your intake form — while you're in court or with another client.
Summary Delivered to You
A concise summary arrives by email or text — caller name, matter type, intake details, and follow-up notes. Respond when you're ready.

Attorneys who made
the switch.
"My clients genuinely believe I have a full-time front desk. Amata's receptionists handle intake perfectly — they ask the right questions and get me the information I need before I call back."
"The Virtual Office Plus is the best value in legal services. The Amata Coins alone cover my conference room needs every month — it's essentially rooms and a day office for free."
"I was skeptical about the 21-day guarantee, but I never needed it. The receptionists were professional from day one. Clients have no idea I'm a solo — it's changed how I position my practice."
