Receptionist & Client Intake Specialist
Hailey-Petty Law Firm, PLLC • Austin, TX, US
Posted 11 hours ago
Description
The Receptionist & Client Intake Specialist is the first point of contact for Hailey Petty Law Firm — both in person and on the phone. This role owns the front desk and all standard reception functions, while also serving as the firm's first filter for potential new clients: gathering information, qualifying leads, and setting up qualified prospects for a smooth handoff to the sales team. This is a true hybrid role, blending traditional front-desk hospitality with the judgment and people skills of an intake/sales-support function.
Responsibilities
Reception
- Greet all visitors warmly and professionally as the first face of the firm
- Answer, screen, and route incoming calls
- Manage the front desk: visitor sign-in, mail/deliveries, conference room scheduling, and general office upkeep
- Maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming lobby and reception area
- Support attorneys and staff with general administrative tasks as needed
Client Intake
- Field inquiries from potential new clients (PNCs) by phone, walk-in, or web lead
- Ask qualifying questions to determine fit for the firm's practice areas and case criteria
- Build the initial client file: contact information, case summary, and relevant intake details
- Schedule qualified leads with the sales/intake team and ensure a clean handoff (no dropped information, no duplicate questions for the prospective client)
- Track and follow up on leads that aren't immediately ready to move forward
- Maintain accurate records in the firm's CRM/intake system
Qualifications
- Prior experience in reception, customer service, sales, or intake (legal or medical intake a plus)
- Comfortable asking direct questions and making judgment calls on lead quality
- Excellent phone etiquette and in-person presence
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple conversations/tasks at once
- Familiarity with CRM or case management software (or ability to learn quickly)
- Professional demeanor — this person represents the firm's first impression
