1. Start with the visitor’s explanation, not your firm’s assumptions
Legal visitors often arrive with a problem rather than a legal label. Someone may know that an incident occurred, a deadline is approaching or a family issue needs attention without knowing which practice area applies. Video Intake is intended to help visitors explain what they need through a guided experience rather than asking them to compose a complete narrative in a blank form. Bosseo’s published product information describes a video-guided survey with short, branching questions organized around practice areas. That structure gives your firm a concrete design question: which initial questions help distinguish a potentially relevant inquiry from one that should be redirected or reviewed more carefully?
Recommended approach
Map the first stage of the intake to the services you actually evaluate. Keep the path understandable to a person who does not use legal terminology. Have the responsible attorney review wording, disclaimers and routing decisions before use. Do not treat the intake as legal advice or as a substitute for attorney review.
