Telegram Bot for Solo Attorneys
Run your intake from the chat app you already use.
A Telegram-based intake and workflow bot for solo attorneys. Captures leads, logs case status, drafts intake summaries — all from your phone, no SaaS dashboard.
What this fixes
- × You don't want to log into a CRM between hearings. The phone is faster.
- × Intake notes get lost in your scratchpad, your phone notes app, and email drafts.
- × Existing CRMs (Clio, MyCase) are great but built for firms — most of the features are weight you don't need.
- × You want to ask 'what's the status on the Williams matter?' and get a one-line answer, not navigate a dashboard.
What it actually does
- ✓ Forward a new-client text or voicemail to the bot — it logs an intake record with case type, jurisdiction, contact, and urgency.
- ✓ Ask 'status on Williams' and get a one-line update from your case notes.
- ✓ Tell it 'add a note to the Garcia matter: opposing counsel scheduled the deposition for Tuesday' and it logs it timestamped.
- ✓ Generate a draft intake summary email you can review and send from your desktop later.
The cost math
Clio or MyCase + paralegal time
$70-150/mo SaaS + paralegal hours not spent on billable
Hand-deployed
$2-5k one-time deployment, no recurring SaaS fees
Net
Pays back in 3-6 months; the time saved is the actual ROI
When this isn't the right first move
If you're already running Clio or MyCase happily, don't switch — the bot complements those systems but isn't a replacement for full firm management.
If billing and trust accounting are your top pain points, this doesn't solve those. It solves intake speed and the 'where did I put that note' problem.
Best fit
- Solo attorneys who hate dashboards but love their phone
- Practices doing 1-10 new matters a month where lightweight tracking is enough
- Anyone whose intake currently lives in a mix of notes app, email drafts, and memory
Not for you if
- Firms with 3+ attorneys (use a real PMS)
- Solos who already have a workflow that works
