November 13, 2025 — The Alabama State Bar is excited to unveil a valuable new member benefit, Answering Legal, a leading virtual receptionist and intake service for law firms. This benefit brings Alabama State Bar members an exclusive 10% discount on their Answering Legal service. Additionally, Answering Legal is offering a $300 discount when lawyers directly integrate with their preferred legal software, free access to their AI-powered intake chatbot, and 30 free minutes of live translation services.

“We’re pleased to make Answering Legal available as a new member benefit for Alabama lawyers,” said Jillian Jordan Evans, Practice Management Advisor for the Alabama State Bar. “Their inclusion expands the range of resources available to help our members manage their practices more efficiently.”

Unlike traditional answering services, Answering Legal treats every call as a potential client, offering highly trained, professional receptionists who provide 24/7 live phone answering, complete new client intake, and bilingual support.

As part of its commitment to innovation, Answering Legal has expanded its suite of products to include an AI-powered intake chatbot and live translation services. The chatbot, offered completely free to the legal community, delivers instant, empathetic, and conversational responses to web visitors’ most urgent questions. With live translation services, law firms can connect with clients through a professional interpreter in more than 180 languages, helping them secure new cases while ensuring clear communication every step of the way.

“We’re thrilled to be working with the Alabama State Bar and extend our services to its members,” said Nick Werker, Marketing Director at Answering Legal. “Our mission has always been to empower attorneys with the tools they need to run more efficient and successful practices, and we look forward to supporting Alabama lawyers with both our dedicated receptionists and our growing suite of technology solutions.”
