{"faqs":[{"answer":"CallMyLeads answers inbound calls 24/7/365 — nights, weekends, holidays, and peak season — with nothing going to voicemail. Every caller is told honestly they're speaking with AI, and they can reach a human, use text, or book online. Consultations get booked on the spot with confirmations and reminders.","question":"How can my criminal defense firm respond to leads after an arrest happens at 2 AM?"},{"answer":"CallMyLeads is built on honest AI — callers always know they're talking to AI, and that transparency is a feature, not something hidden. Every caller can reach a human, continue by text, or book online, so a panicked post-arrest caller always has a clear next step instead of a dead-end voicemail.","question":"Will callers know they're talking to AI, and will that scare off stressed criminal defense clients?"},{"answer":"Yes. Business texting is registered under US carrier rules (A2P 10DLC), consent and telemarketing quiet-hours laws are followed, and opt-outs are honored immediately and automatically. The booking flow collects explicit consent before any messages go out.","question":"Is the texting compliant with US carrier and telemarketing rules for legal clients?"},{"answer":"Setup starts with a free ~15-minute scoping call to settle your plan and a one-time flat setup fee quoted upfront (waived on annual plans). We connect your lead sources, you set your response rules, and the system runs automatically into your existing CRM and calendar — typically live quickly, with no contract and the ability to cancel anytime.","question":"How long does setup take before my ad and form leads start getting answered?"},{"answer":"Equivalent human coverage would take at least two full-time hires; CallMyLeads costs a fraction of one salary. Beyond answering, it handles instant ad and form follow-up in seconds, qualification and scoring, booking with reminders, and nurture until booked — all tracked from source to booking. Pricing is per-minute with no seats, and only minutes actually handling leads are billed since spam is screened out.","question":"How is this different from hiring an after-hours answering service or another intake receptionist?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect your lead sources","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Your website consultation forms, ad campaigns, phone lines, chat, and referral sources are joined to one response system in a done-for-you setup."},{"step":"2","title":"Set your response rules","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"You decide the first message, qualification questions, what counts as a qualified criminal defense lead, and when to route a call to your team.
