Intake-first, not media-first
We partner with your media agency and own the layer they can't — the humans who pick up when the spike hits. That's where CPA is won or lost.
Most mass tort campaigns don't fail at the media buy. They fail at the intake floor — dropped Spanish calls, missed after-hours spikes, sloppy criteria qualification, slow CRM push. Sempull owns that intake layer so your paid-media dollar actually signs retainers, whether you run Roundup, hair relaxer, Camp Lejeune, PFAS, CPAP, or social media dockets.

Docket qualification runs on the first call, not in a follow-up. Signed-ready leads to your CRM; non-qualified callers archived with the reason they missed.
Every lead tagged with source, campaign, and creative. Attribution follows the lead through qualification to signed retainer — so you see what's actually working.
Live-agent pickup, verbatim consent, per-lead source and timestamp logging, no auto-dialers on outbound. Scripts reviewed by U.S. counsel.

A firm runs a Camp Lejeune Meta campaign at a $180 CPL. Media dashboard reports 600 leads for the month. Case-selection attorney reviews the batch and signs 47. Real CPA per signed case: ~$2,300. Attorney concludes the campaign "doesn't work" and reallocates spend. What actually happened, in almost every audit we run, is that more than half the 600 "leads" were either dropped calls (Spanish-dominant callers who hit English intake and hung up), voicemails during the after-hours spike, or calls that were logged as qualified without the criteria matrix being enforced.
The media agency didn't fail. The intake floor did. Mass tort marketing works only when the intake layer picks up the phone in the caller's language — see our bilingual legal answering service — enforces the criteria matrix live through lead qualification, and pushes qualified leads into the CRM before the caller Googles the next firm. Spikes land at night and on weekends, which is why after-hours intake is non-negotiable on a paid docket.
Sempull is intake-first — we don't buy media. We partner with the mass tort media agencies you already trust (TV, Meta, YouTube, connected TV, native, Google Ads) and own the layer they can't touch: the humans who answer the phone when the click converts. Most firms save more by fixing the intake floor than by switching media agencies, because the intake leak is invisible on the media dashboard.
If you don't have a media agency yet, we'll introduce you to the ones we work with most, matched to your docket mix and geography. No referral fees, no revenue share — the introduction is worth more to us than a kickback because your campaigns convert better and you stay a long-term intake client.
A generic PI intake script destroys mass tort CPA. Each active docket has a different criteria matrix, different disclosure requirements, and different caller psychology. A Camp Lejeune caller is often an elderly veteran with a spouse on the line and a decade of VA paperwork behind them. A hair relaxer caller is more often a working woman in her 30s or 40s who is calling on a break and needs the qualification to be efficient without feeling transactional.
Sempull agents are trained per docket and know the factual triggers that qualify or disqualify — not from a cheat sheet, from repeated exposure. Scripts are versioned per docket and updated whenever criteria change (statute rulings, MDL updates, new disclosure requirements).
Every inbound call is tagged at pickup with source, campaign, and creative — pulled from tracking numbers, UTM parameters on the landing-page form, or the ring pool the caller came in on. The tag rides with the lead through qualification, into the CRM, and stays attached at signed retainer, so you can measure real CPA per source instead of gross CPL from the media dashboard.
For firms that share leads across co-counsel, attribution is preserved through the CRM handoff so fee-split accounting is clean — we push into Filevine, Litify, Clio, Salesforce, and the rest of our CRM integrations. For firms running their own dockets, the attribution lets you kill under-performing creatives before they burn through the media budget. If you also buy leads from aggregators, pair this with mass tort lead generation & intake and the 2026 mass tort intake playbook.
Most mass tort marketing engagements start with a 30-minute audit of your current intake flow on a live docket — pickup rate, Spanish-drop rate, after-hours miss rate, criteria-matrix enforcement, CRM push latency. We do it against your last 30 days of call recordings and CRM data. If the leak is smaller than the cost of switching intake, we'll tell you.
If the leak is bigger, we set up a pilot on one docket (typically Camp Lejeune, Roundup, or hair relaxer) with a 30-day parallel run: your existing intake keeps running, Sempull picks up an equal split, and we compare CPA per signed case at day 30. Every firm that has run that pilot has moved the full docket over inside 60 days. Plans and minute tiers are on the pricing page, and client case studies show what the same model did for high-volume PI and workers' comp firms.
High-volume paid campaigns fail the same way in mass tort as they do in PI and workers' comp: the spend works, the pickup doesn't. These are anonymized client results from firms running the same spike-and-Spanish problem mass tort dockets create.
“We were leaking Spanish-speaking PI cases every single night. Sempull plugged that leak in under two weeks. Our intake numbers haven't looked the same since — and our case managers can finally focus on signed clients instead of chasing missed calls.”Read the full case study

Book a 30-minute intake audit on a live docket. We'll show you the pickup rate, Spanish-drop rate, and after-hours miss rate your media dashboard can't see — and what recovering them does to CPA per signed case.
Send us the docket you're running (Camp Lejeune, Roundup, hair relaxer, PFAS, CPAP, social media, talc, hernia mesh, or new). We'll audit pickup rate, Spanish-drop rate, after-hours miss rate, criteria enforcement, and CRM push latency against your last 30 days — and reply within one business hour.

Answering service in El PasoThat's how most firms lose the CPA math. Mass tort marketing works only when the intake floor can absorb a 5–20x spike, qualify against a tight case-criteria matrix on the first call, and push signed-ready leads into a CRM in under 60 seconds. Sempull builds the intake side — the part that turns clicks into signed retainers — and integrates with whichever media agency you already trust.
No — and that's intentional. We partner with mass tort media agencies (TV, Meta, YouTube, native, connected TV) and own the intake handoff. Firms typically save more by fixing the intake floor than by switching media agencies, so we focus on the leak everyone else ignores.
Every inbound lead is tagged with source, campaign, and creative at the moment of pickup, then coded qualified/non-qualified against the docket's criteria matrix. Attribution follows the lead all the way to signed retainer, so you see true CPA per source — not gross CPL that hides the qualification rate.
Either way. If co-counsel or the aggregator provides the matrix, we script directly against it. If you're building a docket in-house, we workshop the matrix with your case-selection attorney using the qualification data we already have on that docket.
Most mass tort dockets (Camp Lejeune, PFAS, hair relaxer, talc, social media harm) generate 25–45% Spanish-dominant inbound depending on media mix and geography. English-only intake drops those callers in the first 15 seconds — which shows up as wasted CPA even though the media dashboard says the lead 'converted.' First-ring bilingual pickup usually recovers 20–40% of a mass tort campaign's effective CPA.
Camp Lejeune, Roundup, hair relaxer, talc, PFAS/AFFF, CPAP, hernia mesh, NEC formula, social media harm, rideshare assault, and new dockets as they open. Scripts are versioned per docket, so a newly opened matter can be live on the intake floor in under a week.
Standard onboarding is 5–10 business days: criteria-matrix workshop, script build, CRM and tracking-number integration, agent docket training, then a parallel run. If you're mid-flight on a spend commitment, we can run an emergency overflow pod in 48 hours to stop the bleeding while full onboarding completes.
Intake typically runs a low single-digit percentage of media spend, and is billed on plan minutes rather than per lead — so a spike month doesn't create a surprise per-lead invoice. Full plan tiers are on our pricing page, and the intake audit tells you whether the recovered CPA covers the cost before you commit.
