For Attorneys & Law Firms

Court deadlines don't pause.
You can.

You haven't taken a real vacation in years. Even when you're "off," you're checking email for opposing counsel's latest move. Your spouse is annoyed. Your kids barely see you off-duty. We built the page that routes urgent matters to the right partner — so when you're at your daughter's recital, you're actually at your daughter's recital.

// What this looks like for you

While you're off, this happens.

Friday · 3pm⚖️

Filing deadline today on Smith v. Smith

Client lands on your page → picks "filing deadline" → routes to Joel, your senior partner. Joel has the matter number and the client's phone before the page even reloads.

You: at the recital. Joel: handling it.
Saturday · 9pm🚨

Client crisis on Jones Estate

Estate beneficiary lands on the page → picks "client crisis" → routes to Sarah, your litigation lead. Sarah calls back within 15 minutes.

You: at dinner. Sarah: on it.
Sunday · 11pm📋

Discovery production due Monday

Paralegal flagged it. Routes to your associate. Associate has the matter detail, drafts the response overnight, sends it Monday morning.

You: asleep. Associate: drafting.
// $9.99/month flat. Per-matter routing.

Take the vacation you've been postponing.

Solo practice. Small firm. Boutique partnership. Your matters get handled — without you. $9.99/month for unlimited dispatches, white-label, custom domain, post-trip digest. Free tier covers 5 dispatches/month. Cancel anytime.

001 / Routing

Per-matter routing.

Smith v. Smith goes to Joel. Jones Estate goes to Sarah. Trust matters go to the trusts associate. Different routing for each matter or urgency type — handled.

002 / Records

A timestamped record.

Every dispatch is logged with timestamp, urgency type, caller's identity, and which partner was contacted. Useful for billing, useful for audits, useful when memory fails.

003 / Clients

No client left waiting.

Generic "I'm out of office" replies make clients feel abandoned. Active routing tells them exactly who's handling their issue and when. They feel cared for. You get to actually rest.

Why attorneys need active coverage

Most attorneys' "vacation coverage" is a partner who promises to "handle anything urgent" — and then gets buried with everything from filing deadlines to billing questions. The right call doesn't always reach the right person.

OutOfOfficePro routes urgent matters by type. Filing deadlines go to your litigation partner. Client crises go to your senior associate. Settlement urgency goes to whoever's negotiating. The caller picks the urgency category; we route to the right person; everyone has the matter context before the call.

Court vacation, properly handled

Court vacation is a protected period — clients and opposing counsel are expected to respect it. A passive auto-reply doesn't enforce that respect. An active routing page does: callers see exactly who's covering, by what category, with what response time. They route themselves and respect your time.

How firms use OutOfOfficePro

Solo practitioners

You don't have partners — you have outside counsel arrangements. Configure those as your routees by issue type. Filing deadlines go to your litigation backup; client emergencies go to a trusted colleague at another firm. Clean, professional, no scrambling at 5pm Friday.

Small firms (3–10 attorneys)

Each partner sets up their own routing page on their personal vacation. The firm benefits from individual coverage without paying for a $30/seat enterprise tool.

Boutique practices

Match coverage to specialty. Tax matters go to your tax partner; trusts to your trusts partner; litigation to your lit partner. The page enforces specialty routing; clients don't have to guess who's covering what.

Common questions from attorneys

Will my clients use a web form during an emergency?

Yes — same demographic that uses online banking, files documents through court e-filing systems, and reads case statuses on attorney portals. Web-based legal interactions are routine in 2026.

What about confidentiality?

The page collects only the caller's name, phone, and issue type. No matter content. The vendor email contains the same. We're hosted on Cloudflare's edge with HTTPS everywhere; sessions use HTTP-only cookies. Open source on GitHub if your IT wants to review.

What if a client doesn't know which urgency category to pick?

The "Something else (urgent)" catch-all routes to your fallback contact (usually you, with a clear "this only fires if specific routing fails" note). Plus the categories are configurable — pick labels that match how your clients actually describe issues.

Is this HIPAA-compliant?

Not currently. Don't route Protected Health Information (PHI) through OutOfOfficePro. For most law practices this isn't a concern; for medical-malpractice or healthcare-adjacent practices, wait for our Healthcare tier.
