About
Hona is an AI-driven client communication and automation platform designed specifically for law firms. It streamlines every touchpoint in the client journey—from initial lead capture to case closure—so legal teams can spend less time on repetitive calls and more time delivering results. At its core, Hona offers a 24/7 AI Voice Receptionist that answers calls, qualifies leads, and initiates intake without requiring staff involvement. The Leads module powers a branded webchat widget that captures site visitors, automates follow-up, and syncs everything directly into the firm's CRM. The Client Updates module provides a case tracker that lets clients follow their case progress like a package delivery, dramatically reducing inbound 'status update' calls. Hona supports two-way SMS messaging, automated document collection, e-signatures, onboarding workflows, NPS surveys, and post-case Google review requests. Its Education Drip Campaigns keep clients informed about case phases through automated messaging sequences. The platform integrates seamlessly with leading legal software including Clio, MyCase, Filevine, CASEpeer, Salesforce, Litify, SmartAdvocate, PracticePanther, and Zapier. Hona serves a wide range of practice types including Personal Injury, Workers' Comp, Bankruptcy, Mass Tort, Criminal Law, Immigration, Employment, and Family Law. It is trusted by attorneys across North America seeking to modernize client communication without expanding their team.
