Case file 19 · Litigation and general practice

Day to day with legal intake, failure is now inconvenient rather than fatal. Visitors have a second route, staff have a test, and no one is claiming perfection.

Before the build

Recto · The starting point

What the site did before

The form was the main contact route for legal intake, yet the business had no clear fallback if a submission failed.

Verso · The problem

What that meant day to day

For legal intake, when the form broke, the site went silent in both directions: visitors could not find another route, and staff had no test to notice the failure.

What we built

A published backup method, explanatory errors and chase-up advice now surround the form. Regular checks submit genuine test inquiries covering practice area, county and safe callback time and verify arrival.

  • Alternative contact method
  • Useful failure message
  • Form delivery check
  • Staff escalation contact

Questions about this file

01How long did the civil litigation and advisory practice build take?

20 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover. The count starts when the firm approves the content, so the firm sets the start date.

02Which plan covers work like this?

Everything used here sits inside managed hosting and inquiries into your intake crm, which come with every plan, from $137 a month. The build fee is invoiced only after launch.

03Why is the firm not named?

Client firms are anonymized on purpose. The case study names the kind of practice, the region and the size, and the quote is attributed to the person who gave it, with their permission.

04Does the intake on a client site give legal advice?

No. The intake asks for the details the firm needs to reply and routes the inquiry. It is not legal advice, it never comments on the merits of a matter, and submitting an inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship. We are not a law firm, attorney or legal service provider.
