1. Start with your firm’s real unanswered-call pattern
A location label cannot tell you how many people call your firm or when they call. For a firm serving Packanack Lake and the wider Passaic County area, the useful question is operational: which calls currently reach voicemail, a busy signal or no one at all? Review call records by time, day, source and matter type. Separate new inquiries from current-client calls and other traffic before deciding what the system should do. Bosseo’s public AI Answering description says the firm’s team receives the first ring, with the AI acting as a backstop when nobody answers within 20 seconds. It also describes coverage for nights, weekends, holidays and overflow.
Recommended approach
Ask whether the proposed routing matches your existing phone setup and whether the 20-second handoff is appropriate for your staff’s answering pattern.
