South Florida · For Solo & Small Law Firms · Est. 2026

Backend operations for the front of your firm.

ThroughDesk is the embedded intake desk for solo and small South Florida law firms. We answer every call, qualify every lead, run the conflict check, sign the retainer, and log the case into your CRM — in three languages, around the clock, for a fraction of what hiring a coordinator costs.

What actually runs behind the line

Nine systems, one desk.

When the phone rings at 11:42 pm, what answers isn't a chatbot or an answering service. It's a nine-layer operational stack — voice infrastructure, real-time intake processing, conflict checking against your matter system, e-retainer flow, calendar booking, owner alerts, transcript archival, daily quality control, and hard-coded ethics guardrails — running in concert. This is what most firms try to hire one person to do.

Voice & telephony

Carrier-grade routing on Twilio. Dedicated DIDs per firm. Sub-second answer time, after-hours forking, call recording, and intelligent overflow from your existing receptionist.

STACK: Twilio · GoHighLevel Voice · custom DID
01

Trilingual NLU

Auto-detects English, Spanish, or Haitian Creole on the caller's first phoneme. Practice-area-tuned prompts route PI, family, immigration, and criminal callers to the right intake script.

STACK: EN · ES · HC · attorney-tuned prompts
02

Live conflict check

While the caller is still describing the case, we query your matter system for adverse-party matches. Flagged conflicts route to you, not into your pipeline. No surprise disqualifications at intake.

STACK: Live Clio/Lawmatics lookup · real-time
03

CRM sync

Native endpoints to every legal CRM small Florida firms actually use. Structured intake fields map directly into your matter schema — practice area, date of loss, injury type, insurance carrier, conflict status.

STACK: Clio · Lawmatics · MyCase · Filevine · n8n bridge
04

E-retainer & calendar

Qualified callers leave the line with a LawPay retainer link in their texts, a DocuSign packet in their inbox, and a consult booked into your Google or Outlook calendar — typically inside 90 seconds.

STACK: LawPay · DocuSign · Google/Outlook Calendar
05

Owner alerts

Before the caller hangs up, the managing partner gets a structured SMS: case type, conflict status, retainer link sent, calendar slot booked, transcript link. No more "what came in last night?"

STACK: Twilio SMS · transcript-link delivery
06

Transcript archive

Every call transcribed, timestamped, and stored against the matter. Searchable post-hoc by phrase, caller, date, outcome. The discovery record you didn't know you were building.

STACK: Whisper transcription · matter-linked storage
07

Daily QC & tuning

Every script versioned. Every prompt edit reviewed. Daily exception report on weird calls, edge cases, prompt drift. Monthly QBR on intake quality, conversion rate, and language-mix.

STACK: Versioned prompts · drift monitoring · human review
08

UPL guardrails

Hard-coded refusals on legal advice, outcome prediction, and fee quoting. The desk captures, qualifies, books, and routes. The attorney advises. Written into every prompt, audited every week.

STACK: Refusal rules · attorney-supervised · UPL-aware

Why the math works

A hire you don't make is a salary you keep.

ThroughDesk replaces the seat you'd otherwise hire — at 40–60% of the loaded cost. No turnover. No recruiter fees. No "she's out sick." The desk is on Tuesday, on Christmas Eve, and at 2:14 am on Sunday. And it sounds like Miami when it answers.

Loaded FTE / yr
$87K

Bilingual intake coordinator in Miami — base + benefits + payroll tax + training + management.

ThroughDesk Ops Desk / yr
$35.9K

Flagship tier, all-in. No setup fee. No contract. Cancel any month.

Year-one savings
$51K

Direct cash — before the calls you start catching that you weren't catching before.

Single retained case

One PI case at 33% contingency on a $90K settlement pays for the year. Nine times over.

Built on your stack · not ours

We connect to whatever runs your firm.

Orchestrated on Make.com and n8n. Voice on GoHighLevel and Twilio. Native and middleware connections to every legal CRM small Florida firms actually use. If your stack isn't here, we build the bridge in the deploy week.

South Florida · answered properly

A desk that sounds like your city.

Three languages live. Accent-aware, idiom-aware. Forty percent of Little Haiti's daily legal calls disappear because the firm's receptionist doesn't speak Creole. We don't.

English · US
"Thank you for calling. I'm Hope. Tell me what happened."

Plain, careful, attorney-appropriate. No "press one." No "if you're calling about your bill." Just intake.

Español · LatAm
"Gracias por llamar. Soy Hope. Cuénteme qué pasó."

Cuban, Colombian, Venezuelan, Argentine — accent-aware, idiom-aware. Bilingual is table stakes south of Broward.

Kreyòl · Ayiti
"Mèsi paske w rele. Mwen rele Hope. Di m sa k pase."

The language ~10% of Miami-Dade speaks at home — and the one most "bilingual" answering services don't cover.

Who's behind the desk

Built by someone who sold to your peers for a decade.

I spent ten years selling enterprise software to mid-market CEOs at Gartner. I watched law firms — and every other professional-services SMB — get sold software they couldn't deploy and could barely use. ThroughDesk is the opposite of that. We don't sell you a tool. We run the desk. — Anthony Olivo · Founder, ThroughDesk

ThroughDesk is operated by ReAlign Studio LLC out of 2045 Biscayne Blvd, Miami. We're local. We're small on purpose. We won't be the cheapest desk on Google — we will be the one that understands what an intake looks like on a Friday at 6:47 pm when your office is dark.

Honest answers

What firms ask us before they sign.

01.
Where's the line on Unauthorized Practice of Law?
We don't give legal advice, predict outcomes, or quote fees — ever. The desk captures, qualifies, books, and routes. The attorney advises. This is written into every script, prompt, and SOP, and it's a feature, not a constraint: it's part of why the moat exists. Generic horizontal tools won't be this careful.
02.
What actually happens at 2:14 am?
The phone rings on our side. Hope answers in English, Spanish, or Creole based on the caller's first words. She runs your practice-area intake script, asks the conflict question, captures structured facts, schedules a consult into your calendar if the caller is ready, and pushes the lead into your CRM. You get an SMS summary within 60 seconds. You wake up to a clean intake at 7 am.
03.
I already have a receptionist. Why would I add this?
Most of our Lite clients keep their receptionist. We cover after-hours, weekends, overflow on busy mornings, lunches, sick days, vacations, and the gap when someone gives notice. Your receptionist gets to actually answer the door without missing the phone.
04.
What CRMs do you connect to?
Clio, Lawmatics, MyCase, Filevine, GoHighLevel, HubSpot natively. If you run something else, we bridge it through Make.com or n8n in the build week. We've yet to find a stack we can't connect.
05.
What's the contract?
There isn't one. Month-to-month. 30-day money-back if the desk isn't running clean by day 30. We're confident enough in the deployment to underwrite it.
06.
Why not just buy Smith.ai or Ruby?
They're answering services. We're a desk. They take a message; we capture the case, run the conflict check, push it into your CRM, and book the consult — in three languages. Their pricing tops out around $1,700–$2,000/month for per-minute receptionist coverage; ours starts there and delivers the full intake function for the same money. Different category.
07.
How are you cheaper than hiring?
We aren't, per client — we're priced at roughly 50–60% of a loaded coordinator hire. The math works because we run one snapshot across many firms, the voice infrastructure is fixed-cost, and we don't carry benefits, payroll taxes, or turnover. That structural margin is what funds the guarantee and the 14-day deploy.
Ready when you are

Book a discovery. Or just call the desk and see how it answers.

Twenty minutes. We'll diagnose your intake leakage, walk you through the deploy, and tell you honestly which tier fits. If the math doesn't work, we'll say so.
