For independent lawyers, small law firms, chartered accountants, tax consultants, and legal-aid practices.

Intake without the front desk.

First-time clients get answered, qualified, and booked into a paid consultation — without a single hour of your time. The legal advice still comes from you.

What slows lawyers down today

Built from interviews + audits across lawyers on Doggu.

1

Discovery calls turn into free consultation

Without paid intake, clients pull 20-30 minutes of legal advice 'just to understand if they have a case.' Almost no one converts to a retainer.

2

Off-hours leads disappear

Most legal queries are stress-driven. The customer feels acute pain at 11pm; if you only reply at 11am, half of them have called another lawyer by then.

3

Compliance and DPDP risk in WhatsApp DMs

Clients send sensitive document scans into a personal WhatsApp. There's no audit trail, no encryption beyond the device, no retention policy. Bar Council guidance keeps tightening.

How Doggu solves it

AI intake (with scope limits)

Qualify without giving advice

AI captures: name, contact, case type, urgency, jurisdiction. Books into a paid consultation slot. Crucially, it does NOT give legal advice — gatekeeping role only. Bar Council guidance preserved.

Paid consultation

Get paid for the first 30 minutes

₹1,000-3,000 consultation fee, paid via Razorpay link before the slot confirms. Filters tire-kickers, validates intent, makes your time worth its weight.

Document workflow

Encrypted document collection

Clients upload scans via a secure link. Stored encrypted (AWS S3 + KMS), with access logs. Retention policy auto-enforced (e.g. delete after case closure + 5 years). DPDP-aligned.

Hearing reminder

Hearing dates, court details — auto-pushed

Each case has hearing dates. Clients get auto-reminders 2 days before with court address, judge, your contact. Reduces client anxiety; reduces frantic late-night calls.

Use this template on day one

Pre-approved with Meta. Variables auto-filled from your CRM.

Intake auto-reply (utility — must include 'no advice' disclaimer)

Thanks for reaching out — I help with {{practice_areas}}.

If this is urgent (court date, arrest, eviction notice), reply URGENT and I'll prioritize.

Frequently asked

Is this Bar Council compliant?

We don't auto-advise. Doggu's intake script is calibrated to gather information and route to a paid consultation, not opine on legal matters. The actual advice is always from a lawyer in the consultation. Bar Council guidance permits client-management software; it restricts unsolicited advisory.

DPDP and document handling?

Documents stored on AWS S3 with KMS encryption-at-rest. Access logged. Retention configurable (default 5 years post-case closure). On client request, we support 'right to be forgotten' deletion within 30 days.

Can different lawyers in the firm have different intake scripts?

Yes — each lawyer has their own practice areas, fee structure, and intake questions. Clients are routed by case type or chosen from a 'select your lawyer' menu.
