1. Start with your real unanswered-call pattern
The relevant question for your Mocksville practice is not how many people live in town. It is when your firm’s callers reach voicemail, a busy line or no clear next step. Review your phone records by time, disposition and practice area before deciding what coverage is appropriate.
Recommended approach
Bring a recent call record or phone-system report to the consultation if you have one. Separate calls answered by your team from calls that reached voicemail, were abandoned, were duplicates, or still require a callback. Use those observations to decide whether the main issue is after-hours coverage, overflow, holiday coverage, or intake consistency.
