Description:
Intake Attorney

Employment Type: Full-Time
Work Arrangement: Remote or hybrid, depending on location
Base Salary: $110,000–$150,000, depending on experience
Bonus: Performance bonus based on team sales results and client sign-ups
Firm: Baker Law Group

About the role:
Baker Law Group is seeking a personable, commercially minded Intake Attorney to help prospective clients understand their legal options and determine how our firm may be able to assist them.

This is not a traditional litigation or case-management position. The Intake Attorney serves at the front end of the client relationship, reviewing pre-screened matters, conducting consultations, identifying potential legal needs, explaining the value of the firm's services, and helping qualified prospective clients move from their initial consultation to becoming signed clients.

The ideal candidate loves the law, enjoys working directly with people, and can combine legal analysis with strong communication and consultative sales skills. This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who wants to remain closely connected to legal work and client service without spending their career managing a litigation caseload or fighting in court.

What You'll Do:
Responsibilities include:

Review intake notes, case facts, documents, and relevant background before consultations
Conduct scheduled and occasional live consultations with pre-screened prospective clients
Build trust and rapport quickly during approximately 20- to 30-minute consultations
Identify the prospective client's legal problem, goals, and immediate concerns
Evaluate matters at a high level and identify potential services the firm may provide
Explain Baker Law Group's teams, experience, services, fee structure, and approach
Match prospective clients with the appropriate attorney and internal practice group
Develop a proposed scope of work based on the client's needs and firm guidelines
Recommend the appropriate initial retainer using established firm pricing and service information
Clearly communicate the value of legal services and help clients understand why addressing a problem now may prevent greater cost or risk later
Prepare thorough and accurate post-consultation notes
Enter scopes of work and matter information into Salesforce
Review proposed fee agreements for accuracy before they are sent to prospective clients
Confirm that the correct services, attorneys, parties, and signatures are included
Collaborate with the intake, administrative, sales, and legal teams
Help qualified prospective clients move efficiently from consultation to signed engagement
Maintain a positive and professional client experience, including when a matter is not a fit for the firm

Consultation Volume and Performance Expectations
The Intake Attorney should be comfortable working in a high-energy, performance-driven environment.

Current expectations include:

Approximately 35 consultations per week, depending on lead flow and matter complexity
Generally six to seven consultations per day
Timely completion of post-consultation notes and follow-up work
Accurate scopes of work and fee-agreement information
Strong client sign-up and conversion performance
Contribution to overall team sales goals
Consistent availability throughout the business day for scheduled consultations and occasional live transfers

This is not simply a call-volume position. Each consultation also requires preparation, documentation, internal coordination, and careful review of the proposed engagement.

What We're Looking For:
The ideal candidate will have:

A Juris Doctor degree from an accredited law school
Active bar admission in at least one U.S. jurisdiction and good standing
Prior legal practice, legal intake, client consultation, or comparable experience
Strong client-facing communication skills
The ability to build confidence and rapport quickly
A consultative, persuasive approach without being overly aggressive
The ability to explain legal services, fees, and value in clear, accessible language
Sound legal judgment and strong issue-spotting ability
Comfort discussing multiple areas of law
The ability to learn unfamiliar practice areas and internal processes
Strong written communication and documentation skills
Careful attention to detail
The ability to move quickly between consultations and competing priorities
A team-first mindset and the ability to promote the firm rather than focusing only on personal credentials
A strong work ethic, positive attitude, and willingness to go the extra mile for prospective clients and colleagues

Preferred Legal Background
Broad legal experience is helpful, but candidates do not need to be experts in every practice area.

Attorneys with a specialized background may still be strong candidates if they are curious, adaptable, and comfortable learning how to identify and discuss matters outside their primary specialty.

Experience in one or more of the following areas would be especially helpful:
