- Clearly explain contingency fee agreements, next steps, and client expectations in plain language
- Handle objections and hesitation with confidence, empathy, and professionalism
- Ensure all required documentation, signatures, and intake materials are completed accurately
- Enter complete, timely, and accurate information into CRM and case management systems
- Maintain detailed notes and provide a clean handoff to pre-litigation or legal teams
- Follow established scripts, workflows, compliance standards, and intake protocols
- Maintain high responsiveness, follow-up discipline, and urgency on every viable opportunity
- Collaborate with intake leadership, attorneys, and operations teams to improve close rates and case quality
- Support a client-first culture by ensuring every prospective client receives a professional and caring experience, regardless of whether the case is signed

- Strong verbal communication and relationship-building skills
- Proven ability to handle sensitive conversations with empathy and control
- Ability to assess situations, ask strong follow-up questions, and exercise sound judgment
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment
- Experience using CRM, intake, or case management systems
- High level of professionalism, accountability, and integrity
- Ability to manage multiple leads, tasks, and follow-ups at once without losing quality
Preferred Qualifications:
- Prior experience in a personal injury law firm
- Experience in legal intake, case signing, or contingency-fee client retention
- Familiarity with PI case types, including auto accidents, trucking, motorcycle, slip and fall, dog bite, wrongful death, and related matters
