# How Do I Automate Client Intake Forms for a Law Firm?

You automate client intake by building a structured form that captures every required detail from the start, routing automatically into the case management pipeline. On **Jestor**, this runs through native **Forms** connected to **Approvals**.

Client intake handled informally, over a phone call with details jotted on paper, produces inconsistent information and forces someone to type it into the system later.

## What informal intake costs

- Inconsistent information captured depending on how the intake call went
- Time spent typing handwritten notes into the system after the fact
- Risk of missing a required detail that the system only catches later
- Delay between first contact and the matter actually being opened

## How automated client intake works

- A **form** captures every required field consistently, every single time
- Submissions route automatically into the case management pipeline
- No handwritten notes need to be retyped into the system later
- The matter can open immediately once intake is submitted

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- The structured form ensures consistent information on every single intake
- Automatic routing removes the retyping step after an informal intake call
- Faster matter opening follows directly from immediate, structured capture
- This scales from occasional new clients to a high-volume intake process

| Informal phone intake           | Structured intake form                      |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| Inconsistent, requires retyping | Captured consistently, routed automatically |
