From AI chat frustrations and LSA response failures to empathetic intake conversations and signed retainers through text, this episode digs into what actually helps law firms convert more leads into cases. Ted joins Conrad and Gyi to break down why human-powered intake still outperforms automation in many legal marketing scenarios, how firms lose leads by forcing clients into the wrong communication channels, and why response speed alone isn’t enough if the experience feels robotic. They also get into A/B testing intake vendors, reducing wasted PPC spend, qualifying leads properly, and the hidden dangers of certain lead-handling practices in the legal industry. If you’ve ever wondered whether AI intake is really “good enough” yet or whether your law firm is accidentally creating friction for potential clients, this episode is for you. Connect with Ted!
