Legal & Law Firms

Every prospective client call captured.
Your firm available around the clock.

A potential client who can't reach your firm on the first call may not call again. Maraba handles new client intake, appointment scheduling, and practice area queries — so your lawyers can focus on clients, not on answering phones.

Important: Maraba does not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or legal guidance of any kind. Maraba handles operational functions only: capturing caller details, scheduling consultations, answering FAQ about practice areas and fees, and routing urgent calls to your duty lawyer. All legal matters are handled by your qualified team.

How law firms lose clients before the first meeting

A distressed client calling about an urgent legal matter expects to reach a person — or at minimum a professional intake process. A ringing phone with no answer communicates that your firm is inaccessible.

⚖️
New client calls after hours
Legal emergencies and urgent property transactions don't follow business hours. A client with a time-sensitive matter who can't reach your firm on a Friday evening will call another firm by Saturday morning.
📞
Lawyers unreachable in court or meetings
Your solicitors are in court, in client meetings, or on site. The phone rings. A new instruction — potentially worth several hundred thousand naira — goes to voicemail and never calls back.
🔁
Admin team handling non-admin calls
"Do you handle employment law?" "How much is a consultation?" "What documents do I need?" Your admin team spends hours answering questions that don't need a lawyer — or an admin.
🌍
Language access barriers
Not every Nigerian client is fluent in formal English. A Hausa-speaking client from the North who needs commercial property advice in Abuja deserves to be received in their language from the first call.

What Maraba handles for your firm

Sample call — new client intake

Caller: Good evening. I need urgent advice. My landlord just locked me out of my property this afternoon and I don't know what my rights are.

Maraba: I'm sorry to hear that — this sounds very stressful. Our firm handles landlord and tenant matters. Given the urgency, I'd like to connect you with our duty solicitor. First, may I have your name and a good number to reach you?

Caller: Amina Sule. This number is fine.

Maraba: Thank you, Amina. I'm flagging this as urgent — a member of our team will call you back within 30 minutes. In the meantime, please do not re-enter the property until you've spoken to us. Is there anything else I can note for the solicitor?

Built with legal professional standards in mind

⚠️
No legal advice given — ever
Maraba is configured to handle intake and FAQ only. It will never give legal advice, opinions, or guidance. Callers are always directed to your qualified team for legal matters.
🚨
Urgent matter escalation
Arrest, injunction, property emergency, and other urgent matters trigger immediate escalation to your duty solicitor. Configurable urgency keywords — you define what's urgent.
🗣️
4 Nigerian languages
Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, and English. Expanding access to justice for clients who are most comfortable in their native language — and improving your firm's reach across Nigeria.
📋
Practice area knowledge base
Configure your practice areas, fee structure, team names, office hours, and court appearance schedule. Maraba only uses what you've entered — never improvises on legal matters.
📲
Intake summaries on WhatsApp
Every new client call produces a structured intake summary within 60 seconds — delivered to your managing partner or admin team on WhatsApp. No intake form required.
📊
Enquiry analytics
See which practice areas generate the most enquiries, when your peak call times are, and how many prospective clients are being captured vs. missed. Data to grow your practice.

"We were missing new client instructions every week simply because no one answered the phone when our lawyers were in court. Maraba captures every intake call now and has it structured and ready for review when we're back in the office."
