What the phone looks like for a Belfast family law firm
Belfast and the wider County Antrim has a population of around 630,000, built on technology, healthcare and a strong construction sector. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a family law firm working across the Cathedral Quarter, Ballyhackamore and Lisburn Road most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Somebody ringing a family solicitor has worked up to it, and if nobody answers they may not ring again for weeks.
Callwise answers on your own 028 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Belfast family law firms ask us
Do we keep our 028 number?
Yes. Your existing 028 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Belfast customers reach you changes.
Do you work with family law firms outside Belfast?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Belfast and everywhere across County Antrim is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
These calls are sensitive. Is that appropriate?
It is calm, unhurried and never pushes anybody. It says it is an assistant, takes the details and books the appointment. Many callers prefer that to explaining themselves twice.
Can it run conflict checks?
It asks for the other party's name and checks against what you make available, flagging anything that matches before an appointment is offered.
What about January?
The first working week of January is the busiest in family law by a distance, and it is answered in full rather than in part.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Belfast customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
