1. Start with the calls your Parsons team cannot answer
The relevant local fact is geographic scope: Parsons is a city in Labette County, not a proxy for the entire county or for a statewide market. The city’s ACS population estimate is useful context when defining the service area, but it cannot tell you how many people call a law office, when they call, or whether your team needs additional coverage. Begin with your own unanswered-call history. Separate calls that arrived after hours from calls missed during office hours, lunch, court appearances, meetings, or simultaneous ringing. Then identify whether those calls reached voicemail, a staff member, an attorney, or another destination. Bosseo says its AI answers when the firm does not answer within 20 seconds and can cover nights, weekends, holidays, and overflow.
Recommended approach
Bring a defined review period of phone records to the consultation. Decide whether AI Answering should be a backstop for all unanswered calls, a limited after-hours path, or an overflow path. Do not use Parsons’ population as a substitute for a call audit.
