I have been happy with my Smith.ai…

I have been happy with my Smith.ai service with the exception of a few adjustments. When I needed assistance for a problem I was having with my company's service, I received a call back immediately and my problem was given the attention it needed for resolution.

We just started our business in October and we could not have done it without Smith.ai. We have received nothing but positive reviews from our clients who call in and having Smith.ai saves our business so much time! It allows us to focus more on the work we do and less time on the phone. They handle scheduling appointments, take payments, and answer our seven lines 24/7. The dashboard is amazing and we really love the emails letting us know about the calls that come in.

Dozens of SPAM emails

Reply from Smith.ai

It’s very unfortunate that you feel this way as this isn’t an accurate account of events.

We added you to our email list for Smith.ai news and updates after you attended our presentation during a recent conference and opted in to receive outreach from us. We have an “unsubscribe” button at the end of every email we send out in the event you would like to opt-out, but you chose to ignore it for at least seven emails. Of course we never want to send unwanted emails and we take the CAN-SPAM Act seriously.

It probably goes without saying, but we have since removed you from our email list.

Been with Smith.ai since they first…

Been with Smith.ai since they first became a company. Came from Call Ruby which was also good, but Smith.ai was a notch above in every category. They work so well they have become an afterthought in our operations, which is exactly how I want our phone system to operate.

From start to finish - A+++++

From start to finish, Smith.ai has been 5000% professional. We are a law firm and had some not very happy experiences with previous call companies. (Actually made more work for us)
Smith.ai scheduled a consultation, went thoroughly through how it works and what to expect. They honored all of their promises. I honestly was waiting for the "fine print" Turns out, there isnt any. (At least in the sucker category)
We have been really happy with the service. The interface is simple and you can export the calls out in order to create contact or mailing lists. It is nice to have because you can better track leads that turn into actual clients. The attorneys have a huge weight lifted off of them. We have made a few adjustments to the script that are always welcomed within 24 hours. All in all, I absolutely value this service. I cannot imagine NOT having Smith.ai as a partner and I will continue to brag about their service to our potential partners and other legal firms even outside this review. They integrate with our legal software Mycase and we will also likely incorporate their website widget at some time as well. Bravo Smith.ai.

I highly recommend Smith.ai

Smith.ai is the best answering service I've ever used. They are prompt, polite and speak clear, American English. I love that I get an initial text from them right away, followed by a more detailed test and email shortly after. It allows me to call back the client or other caller immediately if I just missed the call.

Perhaps most importantly, calls are answered swiftly and professionally. I've had judges and clients complain about other services I've used, but their experience with Smith.ai has been smooth and seamless.

I moved from Ruby Receptionist to Smith

I moved from Ruby Receptionist to Smith.ai about 2 years ago. While Smith doesn't have the platform that Ruby has, in terms of backend portal, they do have great receptionists with amazing customer service. Always getting complimented by my clients. They also don't charge for spam or solicitor calls, like Ruby used to.

Smith.ai is a must have for any modern law practice

I've been using Smith.ai's virtual receptionist service for more than a year and have been nothing but satisfied. Each receptionist goes above and beyond and has followed our firm instructions with excellent consistency. Having virtual receptionists has been a godsend for a solo business owner like myself. When I have to wear so many hats: lawyer, business owner, case manager, marketer, etc.., handling leads can become a serious challenge. Thanks to Smith.ai, I've been able to more than double my leads. Calls are always answered, even when I'm out of the office. The virtual receptionists have also helped me handle problem potential clients, improving the quality of clients that are funneled through the intake process.

My only regret is that I wish I would have discovered Smith.ai when I first started my legal practice years ago. I've recommended and will continue to recommend Smith.ai to other small business owners such as myself.

I’ve been with Smith.ai for two years. I am very happy with their services. No missed calls, they return call requests within a few hours, handle all calls professionally and are constantly checking in to see how they can improve. I love that they truly value their clients input. Highly recommend!

Smith Made Starting my Law Practice Possible

I can't say enough great things about Smith AI. Smith made it possible for me to begin my own law practice. When putting the initial ideas together to start my business, I couldn't figure out how I could make this work without a receptionist, which was not an option at that time. I was referred to Smith by another attorney who had great success. Smith was able to provide me with a phone number local to my office area, and this made it possible to get my business going. I have been using Smith's incredible services for 2 1/2 years and couldn't be happier. My clients often say things like, "your receptionist was really helpful getting me scheduled", and no one would ever know that the receptionist wasn't sitting right in my office. I added Smith's chatbot to my website and experienced an increase in consultation scheduling. Lastly, every single person at Smith is an expert message taker. I save important time because each message they send through email is meticulous and includes all of the right information.

So much more time!

I didn't realize how many calls I was getting per month, especially sales and spam calls. Having Smith.ai answer my phones has given me back hours every month that used to be spent scheduling appointments with new callers.
