What the phone looks like for a Southampton law firm
Southampton and the wider Hampshire has a population of around 900,000, built on maritime, logistics and marine trades. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a law firm working across Portswood, Bitterne and Shirley most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Legal enquiries are made in a moment of stress and the caller instructs whoever answered and sounded competent.
Callwise answers on your own 023 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.
When Southampton calls go unanswered

Southampton law firms ask us
Do we keep our 023 number?
Yes. Your existing 023 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 Southampton customers reach you changes.
Do you work with law firms outside Southampton?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Southampton and everywhere across Hampshire 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.
Will it give legal advice?
No, ever, and it says so. It takes the enquiry, asks your intake questions and books the appointment.
Can it route to the right department?
Yes. Family, conveyancing, personal injury and commercial can each have their own questions and their own diary.
Is it confidential?
Calls are recorded and transcribed and callers are told at the start. Data is processed under a data processing agreement, and you set the retention period.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Southampton 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.
