AI Receptionist · Ferndown Solicitors

Ferndown. Retired couple. Wills review — adult children, property, an IHT question. Wanted a proper conversation. Called Monday morning. On hold for three minutes. Hung up. Called a Wimborne firm. Appointment booked that afternoon.
ForgeMason answered Monday. Wills matter captured. Appointment booked in Ferndown.

Ferndown's demographic skews older — retired professionals and downsizers from Bournemouth and Poole who want wills, probate, and estate planning handled by a local firm they can visit, not a phone menu they have to navigate. Three minutes on hold for a wills enquiry sends the appointment to Wimborne. ForgeMason answers immediately with a natural, unhurried voice that gathers the matter detail, confirms the callback, and gives the caller every reason to wait for your firm rather than ring the next number on the list.

How It Works
01

Answered instantly

AI picks up within 2 rings — no hold music, no phone menus. Natural, unhurried voice appropriate for wills and estate planning calls.

02

Matter captured

Captures matter type (wills, probate, estate planning, LPA, conveyancing), family circumstances, estate complexity, and preferred appointment time.

03

Fee earner notified

Instant notification. Private client fee earner has the wills matter briefed and appointment request ready — not a hold that ends in a lost caller.

FAQ
Our clients prefer a proper conversation — does ForgeMason feel like that, or like a bot?+
ForgeMason uses a natural conversational voice — not a robotic prompt-response sequence. It asks open questions, listens to the answer, and follows up appropriately. For a wills or estate planning call, it might ask "and are there any particular concerns you'd like to discuss in the appointment?" rather than a rigid checklist. Callers are not informed it is an AI unless they specifically ask. The goal is that the experience feels like speaking to a competent, unhurried member of your team — not being processed by an automated system.
Is there a minimum contract?+
No minimum contract. Rolling monthly — cancel any time. No setup fee.
