The Cost of Missing Emergency Bankruptcy Calls
Missed After-Hours Calls from Clients Facing Foreclosure or Wage Garnishment
Bankruptcy clients in crisis often call after 8 PM or on weekends—especially when facing a foreclosure notice, wage garnishment, or creditor lawsuit. With 60% of legal emergencies occurring outside business hours, a missed call can mean losing a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 case before filing. For example, a client with $40,000 in dischargeable debts and a pending eviction notice may never return if they don’t speak to an attorney immediately. Without an immediate response, they may turn to a competitor who answers—especially since 80% of potential clients abandon the process after not reaching someone.
Lost Leads from Voicemails After a Creditor Threat or Debt Collection Call
Clients who are already overwhelmed by debt often hang up after hearing a voicemail prompt—especially if they’ve just received a call from a debt collector or a notice of a creditor filing a lawsuit. With 73% of callers hanging up without leaving a message, and 85% of those never calling back, law firms lose high-intent leads. For instance, a client with $25,000 in unsecured credit card debt and a $12,000 medical bill may be eligible for Chapter 7 relief, but if they don’t leave a voicemail, the opportunity to file a bankruptcy petition with an automatic stay is lost—leaving them vulnerable to collection actions.
Manual Intake Delays Chapter 13 Filings and Means Test Eligibility Assessments
Legal assistants spend up to 30 minutes per call collecting income, expense, and asset details to determine means test eligibility for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. During this time, clients may be losing critical deadlines—such as the 30-day window to file a petition after receiving a foreclosure notice. Without automation, a firm may only process 6–8 intake calls per day, delaying case start dates and increasing the risk of losing clients to competitors who respond faster. The manual process also increases the chance of missing key details like exempt property (e.g., a 2018 Honda Civic or a $15,000 retirement account) that impact case strategy.

Why Bankruptcy Attorneys Choose Answrr
Capture Every Emergency Call
Answrr’s AI agent answers every emergency call 24/7—asking targeted questions about dischargeable debts, income, and exempt property. For example, when a client calls at 1:45 AM after a creditor threatens wage garnishment, the AI confirms their Chapter 13 eligibility, collects details on their monthly income and expenses, and schedules a consultation within 15 minutes. This real-time response ensures the automatic stay can be filed before the garnishment begins—saving clients from losing their home or vehicle. One firm reported a 92% conversion rate from call to consultation after implementing AI intake.
Automate Case Intake in Real Time
The AI collects and organizes critical bankruptcy intake data in real time—such as the client’s total dischargeable debt, monthly income, and list of exempt property (e.g., a 2019 Toyota Camry, $10,000 in IRA funds). It then auto-populates this into the firm’s CRM with a completed means test eligibility summary. For a Chapter 13 case, this reduces intake time from 30 minutes to under 5 minutes, allowing attorneys to file petitions 2–3 days faster. One firm processed 140 Chapter 13 cases in Q1 2024—up from 72 in Q1 2023—after automating intake with AI.
Cut Phone Costs by 80%
By replacing a $3,000/month receptionist with Answrr’s $99/month plan, firms save $34,800 annually while handling 3x more calls. The AI answers every call—even during peak hours—without downtime. For example, a firm in Houston handled 217 emergency calls in one month, 68% of which occurred after 6 PM. Without AI, they would have missed over 130 calls. With AI, they converted 76% of those calls into consultations—resulting in 18 new Chapter 7 and 12 Chapter 13 cases filed in the same month.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to miss 4 out of 10 emergency calls—especially from clients with foreclosure notices or wage garnishments. One client called at 11:30 PM after a creditor filed a lawsuit. Answrr answered, asked about their exempt property and income, confirmed they qualified for Chapter 13, and scheduled a consultation before the client even left the call. We filed the petition the next morning, stopped the lawsuit, and saved their home. That’s not just efficiency—it’s life-changing for our clients.”

“After a client called at 2:17 AM with a notice of a creditor’s motion for relief from the automatic stay, Answrr caught the call. It asked about their income, expenses, and whether they wanted to reaffirm a car loan. The system flagged their eligibility for Chapter 13 and sent the data to our CRM. We filed a motion to continue the stay within 90 minutes. The client kept their car and avoided a repossession. That’s the power of 24/7 AI—especially when time is money and equity.”

“Our intake used to take 25 minutes per call—sometimes longer when clients were emotional or unclear. Now, Answrr asks the right questions: ‘What’s your monthly income?’ ‘Do you own a home?’ ‘Are you behind on your mortgage?’ It captures all the details for the means test and bankruptcy petition, then sends a full intake report to our CRM. We’ve gone from 10 to 22 new cases per month—most of them Chapter 13s. The ROI is undeniable.”
