Straight answer
A real trigger or stage change exists.
Best fit
Family Law Attorneys: An inbound family-law consultation has ended and the prospect needs one verified administrative next step without pressure or case predictions.
Conditional fit
Relevant CRM event or stage change; stop on reply, booking, stage change, or opt-out.
Main tradeoff
The prospect is uncertain about engagement, cost, privacy, and whether asking another question will commit them to representation.
