Call support guides
Call intake for immigration lawyers
A boundary-conscious intake guide for immigration practices that organizes prospective-client calls without giving legal advice.
Start with the caller's purpose
Identify the request around language, matter type, and client status. The opening should be calm and specific, so the person handling the next step understands why the call matters.
Capture the decision details
Record approved facts, dates supplied, and requested outcome. Use approved fields and the caller's own words where precision matters. Avoid collecting unrelated personal information.
Protect the handoff
do not predict outcomes or interpret deadlines. Give only an approved expectation and record the owner of the next action. A transfer without context creates another call and another chance for confusion.
Review the next step
Review repeat calls, incomplete records, and wrong transfers for this topic. Adjust the opening question or directory when the same gap repeats.
