Intake Specialist

About the Role

Intake Specialists are part of a devoted and exceptionally important team at The Advocates. This sales‑focused team speaks on the phone with potential clients to understand their needs, help them feel comfortable, position our firm as a solution to their needs and sign them as new clients. While this is a sales position, there are no cold calls required—you will be working with clients who have reached out to us.

The Advocates is a growing personal injury law firm with branches across the United States. We are dedicated to representing victims of accidents with kindness and respect. Our team genuinely cares about and has empathy for the people who seek our help, and we are driven to get them the best results possible.
