The Cost of Missing Emergency Calls
Missed Calls During Critical Moments: Clients Facing Wage Garnishment or Foreclosure Hang Up
With 62% of calls to small bankruptcy law firms going unanswered, many clients in crisis—especially those receiving wage garnishment notices or facing foreclosure—hang up after one ring. These are often individuals struggling with non-dischargeable debts like child support or student loans, or those who failed the means test for Chapter 7 but qualify for Chapter 13. Without immediate contact, they default to competitors offering same-day consultations, losing your firm critical opportunities during peak filing seasons like January–April and October–December.
After-Hours Calls from Clients in Immediate Danger: No Response to Automatic Stay Violations
During the 78% of after-hours calls that go unanswered, clients often reach out in panic—some reporting that creditors are violating the automatic stay. These urgent calls typically involve threats of repossession, eviction, or continued collection calls despite an active bankruptcy filing. Without an AI answering system, your firm misses the chance to confirm the filing status, provide immediate reassurance, and initiate a creditor proof of claim response—all within the critical 30-day window.
Attorneys Losing Hours on Call Chasing: Time Wasted on Pre-Intake Screening for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Cases
Lawyers spend an average of 2.5 hours per week returning missed calls from clients seeking help with dischargeable debts like credit card balances or medical bills. For a firm handling 50+ Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases annually, this adds up to over 130 hours per year—time that could be spent preparing for bankruptcy trustee meetings, reviewing creditor proof of claim documents, or negotiating with secured lenders on exempt property valuation.

Why Bankruptcy Attorneys Choose Answrr
Capture More Leads from Urgent Calls
In one case, a mid-sized bankruptcy firm in Texas used AI to answer 147 after-hours calls over 45 days during the end-of-year filing surge. Of those, 31 were qualified leads—18 for Chapter 7 and 13 for Chapter 13. All 31 were scheduled for consultations within 24 hours, resulting in 19 new retained clients and $218,000 in projected case intake value. The firm reported a 42% increase in after-hours conversion rates compared to previous years.
Save Thousands in Staffing Costs
A firm in Florida replaced a $4,500/month paralegal receptionist with an AI agent that handles unlimited calls, including complex intake questions about the means test, priority debts (like back taxes), and exempt property limits under state law. Over 12 months, they saved $54,000 in staffing costs and reduced client wait times from 48 hours to under 90 minutes—leading to a 37% increase in client retention and a 22% rise in referrals.
Handle Peak Call Volumes Without Stress
During the 2025 tax season, a firm in Illinois handled 382 calls in a single week—double their normal volume—thanks to AI routing. The system automatically collected client data, flagged high-risk cases (e.g., potential non-dischargeable debts), and scheduled consultations with attorneys specializing in Chapter 13 restructuring. This allowed the firm to process 47 new cases in 10 days, avoiding overtime and maintaining compliance with IRS deadlines for bankruptcy-related tax filings.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We had a client call at 1:17 a.m. after a creditor threatened to repossess her car—she was already behind on her Chapter 13 payments. Our AI answered, confirmed her case status, explained how the automatic stay applied, and booked her a same-day consultation. She’s now in compliance and her car is safe. That call would’ve been lost without AI—this is how we’re saving lives and cases.”

“I used to spend 45 minutes per call explaining the means test and what counts as exempt property. Now, the AI handles that—asking about income, expenses, and secured debts—before routing only qualified leads to me. I’ve cut intake time by 60% and now focus on preparing for trustee meetings and defending priority debts in court.”

Owner & Lead Attorney, Chen Legal Group (Specializing in Business Bankruptcy), Bankruptcy Attorneys
“One client asked if we hired a new receptionist because the AI remembered her last conversation about her homestead exemption and whether her second vehicle qualified under state law. I didn’t even realize she’d called before—AI logged her history, and we closed the case in 10 days. That’s the power of continuity in a high-stress environment.”
