Non-Attorney Consultation Specialist

The Non-Attorney Consultation Specialist is responsible for overseeing the firm’s client intake process, ensuring that every potential client receives a compassionate, responsive, and professional experience from first contact through consultation booking and onboarding. This role combines people leadership, sales oversight, process optimization, and performance tracking to maximize qualified lead conversion while maintaining the highest level of client care.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, empathetic, data-driven, and experienced in managing intake or client services within a legal, family law, or high-emotion service environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Personally conduct and/or oversee paid consultations with the objective of retaining clients.
• Train, coach, and hold intake staff accountable to high-level sales performance standards.
• Actively review consultation recordings and provide direct, actionable sales coaching.
• Identify and correct breakdowns in the sales process in real time.
• Implement and enforce structured follow-up systems to convert unretained prospects.
• Maintain full ownership over conversion metrics and revenue outcomes from intake.

Intake Operations & Client Experience

 Oversee all inbound leads (calls, emails, web forms, chat, and referrals) and

ensure timely, professional follow-up.

 Ensure prospective clients are treated with empathy, discretion, and

professionalism, recognizing the emotional nature of family law matters.

 Monitor intake quality to ensure accurate information gathering and proper

case screening.

 Maintain consistent intake scripts, standards, and best practices aligned

with the firm’s values.

Team Leadership & Training

 Manage, coach, and develop the Intake Specialists/Client Care team.

 Conduct regular call reviews, performance feedback, and coaching sessions.

 Train new intake staff on family law fundamentals, client communication,

and firm procedures.

 Foster a culture of accountability, compassion, and continuous

improvement.

Systems, Reporting & Process Improvement

 Manage intake systems and CRM/case management software.

 Monitor KPIs such as response time, booking rate, show rate, and retention

outcomes.

 Prepare regular intake performance reports for leadership.

 Develop and refine intake workflows, scripts, and follow-up processes.

Cross-Department Collaboration

 Work closely with attorneys, marketing, and operations to ensure alignment

between lead generation, intake, and case acceptance.

 Provide feedback to marketing on lead quality and messaging effectiveness.

 Coordinate smooth handoffs from intake to legal team.

Sales Performance & Conversion Accountability

 This is a sales-driven role with direct responsibility for converting paid consultations into retained clients. The Intake Manager is not only responsible for overseeing the intake team, but is also accountable for personally driving and enforcing conversion performance across the department.

 This position functions as a non-attorney sales closer and sales leader. Success in this role is measured primarily by conversion rate and revenue generation, not activity.

Non-Negotiable Performance Standard:

• The Intake Manager must maintain a minimum 50% consultation-to-client conversion rate every month.
• Falling below this threshold is considered a failure to meet core job requirements, not a coaching opportunity.
