24/7 intake built around your firm's process — so no lead goes cold.
35% of calls to law firms go unanswered. Most callers who reach voicemail don't leave one — they call the next firm.
Every unanswered call is a prospective client who may never call back — and may already be dialing a competitor.
People search for a lawyer nights and weekends, outside normal office hours — exactly when most firms can't answer.
Even when a message is left, a delayed callback is often enough for a prospective client to choose someone else.

Every plan includes a monthly voice allowance. Upgrade as your firm's call volume grows.
You focus on practicing law. We help keep your pipeline moving.
Plans include voice minutes. Five-minute conversations are shown as a simple reference point; actual conversation length varies.
No surprise usage fees. Every plan includes a monthly voice allowance, and additional usage is clearly priced.
Whether it's after hours, during a busy stretch, or while your team is in court, the call is picked up.
The caller is greeted professionally, and their information and reason for calling are collected.
The caller is checked against your firm's own intake rules and requirements.
Depending on your firm's setup, the caller is scheduled for a consultation, routed to the right person, or flagged for your team's attention.

A prospective client calls at 9pm on a Saturday. Their information is collected, and your team follows up.
Every line is tied up during a hectic week. Calls still get answered — nothing falls through the cracks.
You're in court and can't pick up. The caller still gets a helpful, professional response.
Three calls come in at once. Every one of them is answered — none go to voicemail.
In each case, the caller is still professionally handled.
...and other client-focused practices. This isn't an exclusive list — if your firm depends on responsive intake, 2ndCounsel can likely help.

This Privacy Policy describes how 2ndCounsel LLC, a Washington State limited liability company ("2ndCounsel," "we," or "us"), collects, uses, and protects information in connection with 2ndCounsel — Attorney Intelligence Platform (the "Service"). 2ndCounsel LLC is not a law firm and does not provide legal services.
Data You Authorize. To provide the Service, you authorize 2ndCounsel LLC to access the following data sources via secure OAuth connections: Microsoft Outlook calendar events (titles, times, attendees, locations); email metadata including sender, recipient, subject, timestamp, and importance flags, plus limited content previews of up to 255 characters; sent email metadata; and document activity metadata (filename, file path, last modified timestamp, file size). We do not store full email bodies or document contents on our servers.
Account Information. When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, firm name, and billing information necessary to provide and invoice the Service.
Usage Data. We collect technical data about how you interact with the Service, including server logs, IP addresses, browser type, and feature usage patterns.
We use the information we collect solely to provide and operate the Service; generate draft time entries for your review; send transactional communications; respond to support requests; and improve the Service using aggregated, anonymized usage data. We do not use your data to train AI models. We do not use your data for advertising or marketing to third parties.
The Service uses the Anthropic API to generate time entry drafts. When you use the Service, metadata and content previews from your authorized data sources are transmitted to Anthropic's API for processing. Under Anthropic's current API terms, prompts and outputs are automatically deleted within 7 days. Anthropic does not use API inputs or outputs for model training without express customer permission. 2ndCounsel LLC has not granted Anthropic such permission.
All data in transit is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS. The Service is hosted on Railway and Vercel (AWS-backed infrastructure). Access to Subscriber data is restricted to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis. In the event of a data breach materially affecting your information, we will notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware, to the extent required by applicable law.
We rely on Railway (backend hosting), Vercel (frontend hosting), Anthropic (AI processing, 7-day retention, no training use), Resend (transactional email), Microsoft Graph API (calendar/email/document metadata), and Clio API (matter and billing data sync). We do not sell data to any subprocessor or permit subprocessors to use your data for their own purposes.
We retain your data for as long as your subscription is active. Upon termination, your data will be deleted from active systems within 30 days (backup copies within an additional 30 days). You may request deletion at any time by contacting support@2ndCounsel.com.
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time. California residents have additional rights under CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal information. Contact support@2ndCounsel.com to exercise your rights.
You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of the Service complies with your professional obligations, including applicable bar rules, ethics opinions, and client confidentiality requirements in your jurisdiction.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes at least 30 days before they take effect.

Please read this disclaimer carefully before using 2ndCounsel.
2ndCounsel provides billing and revenue capture tools, and client intake and communication tools, for law firms. Nothing on this website or within the Service constitutes legal advice, and 2ndCounsel does not determine whether a caller or prospective client has a legal case. The Service is designed to assist with time capture, billing administration, and client intake and communication only.
The revenue recovery figures presented on this website are estimates based on industry research and early user data. Actual results will vary depending on your billing rate, practice area, hours worked, and billing practices. These figures are provided for illustrative purposes and do not constitute a guarantee of results. Any calculators or projections produce estimates based on inputs you provide and should not be relied upon as financial forecasts.
Attorneys using 2ndCounsel remain solely responsible for reviewing, approving, and submitting all billing entries, and for all engagement decisions regarding prospective clients. The Service generates suggested entries and organizes prospective client information for your review — it does not submit entries or make engagement decisions without your explicit approval.
Testimonials reflect the experiences of individual users and do not guarantee similar results for all users. Results depend on individual practice characteristics and usage of the Service.
References to third-party platforms (including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and legal billing software) are for informational purposes only. 2ndCounsel is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a partner of these companies unless expressly stated.
