Hi. I'm Sofia.
Tell me what happened in your own words. You can keep it general.
If it helps, start with the closest category:
Call Sofia
Start with the situation

What happened to you?

You do not need to know the claim name. These are simply starting points so Sofia can ask the right next questions.

Abuse & institutional harmSchools, youth programs, religious institutions, detention settings, and other organizations.
Drug & medical device injuriesPotential harm linked to medication, implants, devices, or recalled products.
Toxic exposureChemicals, pesticides, industrial exposure, contaminated products, and related harm.
Auto & serious injuryVehicle collisions, rideshare incidents, pedestrian injuries, and other serious injury matters.
Product liabilityConsumer products, equipment, defective components, or other potentially dangerous products.
Not sure what it isThat's fine. Start with the story. Sofia can help classify the situation without requiring legal terminology.
How it works

A cleaner first step before you start calling firms.

BTL is a matching and intake service. It does not give legal advice and does not decide whether a lawyer will accept a matter.

1

Tell Sofia what happened.

Use your own words. She gathers the basics and helps organize the situation.

2

Identify the likely lane.

The intake helps determine what type of claim or legal team may be relevant and whether the situation may potentially qualify for further review.

3

Move to the next review step.

If appropriate, the inquiry can be routed toward an independent law firm for its own evaluation. Representation is never guaranteed.

Built for uncertainty

You can be unsure and still start.

A lot of people arrive knowing something serious happened but not knowing whether it is legally relevant, what kind of lawyer handles it, or what to call it. That uncertainty is exactly what the intake is designed to reduce.

“You do not need to know the legal terminology. Start with what happened.”

BTL is a matching and intake service, not a law firm. Sofia is an automated assistant and does not provide legal advice.
Fair questions

Know what this is before you start.

Is Best Tort Lawyers a law firm?

No. Best Tort Lawyers is a matching and intake service. It does not provide legal advice, does not form an attorney-client relationship, and does not guarantee that any lawyer will accept a matter.

Is Sofia a lawyer?

No. Sofia is an automated AI intake assistant. She helps gather information and organize the intake. She does not give legal advice.

Do I need to know what kind of claim I have?

No. You can start by describing what happened. The intake is designed to help identify the relevant category without requiring legal terminology.

Does starting the intake mean I qualify?

No. The intake may help identify whether you may potentially qualify for further review. Any independent law firm makes its own decision about whether to evaluate or accept a matter.

Can I call instead of using chat?

Yes. You can call Sofia at (213) 878-7408 or request a callback.

What happens to my information?

Your information is used to operate the intake and, where appropriate and with applicable consent, support review and matching. See the Privacy Policy and Terms for more detail.

Start with what happened. Sofia can help with the rest.
