A Missed Call in Portland Is a Referral Handed to Someone Else
Build My Pulse answers, qualifies, and books your leads while you're in depositions or court.
Referrals and word of mouth carry a lot of Portland's legal business, from the Pearl District out to Hillsboro, but a missed call after hours or during a hearing means that referral just calls the next name on the list. Between the PI cases I-5 traffic generates and a steady stream of small business disputes downtown, solo and small firms can't realistically staff a receptionist for every hour a prospective client might call. Firms handle this either by having Build My Pulse deploy the fix for them, or by running Pulse's self-serve plan on their own.
We also deploy Pulse for law firm operators across Oregon, including Miami, Tampa, Orlando.
The problem
What slows Law Firm businesses down in Portland
A prospective client calls after 6pm about a car accident on I-84 and hangs up when voicemail picks up.
Paralegals spend afternoons chasing down consult no-shows instead of prepping cases.
Intake forms sit unread for days while a firm across the river books the same client.

FAQ
How fast can this be live for our firm?
Build My Pulse is a two-week deployment. We map your intake process, connect your calendar and phone lines, and train the agent on your case types, then you're live from day one.
Will it work with our existing case management software?
Yes. The agent connects to the tools you already run, whether that's Clio, MyCase, or a custom intake sheet, so nothing about your case workflow changes, it just gets faster.
Is there a way to set this up ourselves instead of the full build?
Yes, Pulse offers a self-serve plan for firms that want to configure and manage it directly. Build My Pulse is for firms that want it built and deployed for them.
Can it handle sensitive legal intake questions?
The agent is trained on your firm's specific intake script and disclaimers, so it asks the right questions and flags anything that needs an attorney's judgment rather than guessing.
Does it replace our receptionist?
It handles the repetitive answering, qualifying, and follow-up work so your team can focus on clients already in the door, most firms use it alongside existing staff rather than instead of them.
