Calls the front desk never returned
Voicemails from busy weeks. Each one is a person who already chose to call you.

Opens with the fact that they reached out, never the details of the matter.
Never gives legal advice or an opinion on a case.
Books a consultation with an attorney, today if it sounds urgent.
Keeps fees and retainers with the attorney, in writing.
