Grolman LLP replaces after-hours human attendant with Upfirst AI receptionist
Grolman LLP's small law firm relied on a traditional human attendant for after-hours calls, resulting in interactions as long as three minutes just to leave a message. Clients calling about time-sensitive legal matters wanted a fast, professional experience, and the firm wanted to avoid missed calls without sinking hundreds a month into basic message-taking.
