After-Hours Intake

Sign the retainer while your firm sleeps.

Most retainer calls don't happen between 9 and 5. Sempull picks up the calls your in-house team can't — nights, weekends, holidays, lunch hours — and hands you booked consults in the morning.

  • Coverage starts the minute your office closes
  • Bilingual (English & Spanish) on every call
  • Same script & CRM as your daytime team
  • Holiday and weekend staffing included
  • Live transfer for urgent matters
  • Overflow support during peak daytime spikes

Built for the night shift

We staff for legal urgency overnight — DUI bookings, jail calls, ICE detentions, ER injuries — not just message-taking.

Seamless handoff

Calls roll to Sempull the moment your office line closes. Mornings, qualified leads are already in your CRM.

Recover lost spend

Every PPC dollar spent at 7pm dies in a voicemail box if no one answers. After-hours intake reactivates that spend.

Compliant escalation

Urgent matters warm-transferred to on-call attorneys. Everything else captured, qualified, and queued for morning review.

Why after-hours intake is the highest-ROI add-on for a busy firm

Most managing partners underestimate after-hours call volume — and overestimate how much of it makes it back to the firm. The actual numbers: 60–70% of legal-intent calls happen outside 9–5, and roughly 80% of callers who hit voicemail don't leave a message. The math is unforgiving: a single missed PI or DUI call can be a five- or six-figure case lost.

After-hours legal intake from Sempull plugs that leak without forcing you to expand your in-house team, manage overnight payroll, or worry about coverage when someone calls out sick. We staff the overnight hours so your in-house team can focus on billable work during the day.

How after-hours coverage integrates with your existing intake

Setup typically takes 3–5 business days. We document your existing intake script, qualification criteria, conflict-check workflow, and CRM mappings; then we configure your phone system (RingCentral, Dialpad, Ooma, NextivaOne, etc.) to forward to Sempull whenever your office line is closed. From the caller's perspective, nothing changes. From your firm's perspective, voicemail bleed drops to zero.

Common questions

Can I use Sempull for after-hours only?+

Yes. Many firms keep their in-house intake team for business hours and use Sempull strictly for nights, weekends, and holidays. We integrate with your existing call-forwarding rules.

What counts as 'after hours'?+

You define the window. Common configurations are 6pm–8am weekdays plus 24/7 weekends, or 24/7 holiday coverage on top of your existing setup.

Will the experience match our daytime intake?+

Yes. We use the same script, same qualification criteria, and same CRM workflow your daytime team uses — so callers can't tell they reached an overflow team.
