One attorney. Every hat.

A solo practice has one of everything: the caseload, the billing, the phone. Iris takes the hat that never comes off. Every inquiry answered, qualified, and summarized, while the attorney does the work only the attorney can do.

Intake gets whatever's left.

A solo practitioner is also the intake department, and intake is the role that gets whatever's left. On court days, what's left shrinks. On trial days, it disappears.

The inquiries wait anyway. And waiting is where cases are lost, to other firms, to second thoughts, to the statute.

The conventional fix is a hire: an intake coordinator at market rate, forty hours a week, covering business hours, for a practice whose inquiries mostly arrive outside them.

11:52pm, end of a long day

The brief is filed. On the site: two messages from this evening, one from Thursday. All three still waiting. Tomorrow has hearings at 9:30 and 1:00.

Iris takes the role. You keep the practice.

The intake coordinator a solo practice could never justify hiring, for a fraction of what one costs, doing the part of the job that never sleeps.

Iris takes

  • First response, any hour, any night
  • The follow-up questions
  • Qualification against your threshold
  • The summary, in the same shape every time

Stays yours

  • Whether to take the case
  • The callback
  • The relationship, from the first call on
  • Everything after yes

The math a solo runs.

Every tool competes for the same budget line, and a solo's budget line is the practice. So the question is what one recovered inquiry returns.

Here is one Tuesday, followed to the end:

One Tuesday, followed to the endSolo practice, personal injury
11:47 PMThe inquiry arrives, a subcontractor whose ladder gave way Tuesday afternoon. Fractured wrist, untreated. The general contractor's insurer has already called him twice.
12:19 AMThe summary is finished. Qualified at 16/20, hot. Statute window noted. It is the only inquiry of the night.
9:04 AMBetween the morning's two hearings, a four-minute call.
12 daysA signed retainer. The medical records arrive three weeks later, and the case is real.

The arithmetic

One signed case from a night like that covers Iris for months. A solo practice doesn't need a projection. The math is the case.
