Question 1

Does Mikla give legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. It takes the facts, explains how the firm works, and books the consultation. It does not read a statute for a caller. It does not predict what a judge will decide. It puts no value on a matter and never says whether somebody has a case.

Question 2

How does it handle the consultation fee question?

Accepted Answer

That is usually the first thing a caller asks. Mikla states your fee in your own wording. It says what the meeting covers and how long it runs. It confirms the fee in writing before the slot is held.

Question 3

Can it collect what we need for a conflict check?

Accepted Answer

It takes the full names of both parties, the children where relevant, and anyone else the caller names. Those names go on the file and get flagged for review. Your team runs the check. Mikla never decides whether the firm can act.

Question 4

What about calls in the middle of the night?

Accepted Answer

Mikla answers them. A parent calling at 1am after a spouse walked out will not leave a voicemail and wait. Mikla keeps the tone calm, writes the details down, and offers the next attorney slot.

Question 5

How does it handle something urgent, like a hearing this week?

Accepted Answer

You set what counts as urgent. A petition already served, a response deadline, a listed hearing date, or a safety concern. Anything that matches goes straight to the attorney or your emergency line.

Question 6

We have one attorney and one calendar. Will it overbook?

Accepted Answer

No. It books against real availability. It blocks court days and travel time. It holds your weekly cap on consultations. When the week is full it offers the next open week.

Question 7

Callers phone three firms the same afternoon. Does this help?

Accepted Answer

That is the problem it solves. Mikla answers on every channel while the caller is still deciding. It gives a clear answer on cost and next steps, then holds a slot before the second firm calls back.

Question 8

Can it handle messages from existing clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It recognises a current matter and answers scheduling and document questions. Anything else goes to your team. Nothing about a live matter is answered by software.
