The Missed Calls That Cost You Clients
Clients Call in Crisis—But Get Voicemail During Critical Window
When a debtor receives a foreclosure notice or wage garnishment, they often call at 2 a.m. — the peak time for bankruptcy-related anxiety. With 27% of calls going unanswered and only 15% of voicemail recipients returning the call (U.S. Courts, 2023), your firm misses high-intent leads during the critical 72-hour window before a creditor files a motion for relief. For Chapter 7 filers, missing this window can delay the automatic stay, risking asset loss. Pro se filers, who make up 34% of all bankruptcy petitions, frequently file Chapter 13 instead of Chapter 7 due to misunderstanding the means test, leading to dismissal or costly corrections.
Pro Se Filings Cause Repeated Dismissals and Court Delays
Over 34% of pro se bankruptcy cases are dismissed due to failure to complete the means test, incorrect chapter selection, or missing the 341 meeting notice. For Chapter 13 filers, failing to file a wage earner’s plan that meets the 5-year requirement (if income exceeds the state median) results in automatic dismissal. One Florida bankruptcy court reported a 41% dismissal rate for pro se Chapter 13 cases in Q1 2023, often due to miscalculated disposable income or failure to account for IRS-approved expense allowances. These errors not only harm clients but also burden the court system and reduce attorney credibility.
Attorneys Waste 40% of Billable Time on Repetitive, Basic Inquiries
Bankruptcy attorneys spend an average of 40% of their time answering routine questions: 'When is my 341 meeting?', 'Will my student loans be discharged?', or 'Can I keep my car in Chapter 7?' These queries—common in both Chapter 7 liquidation and Chapter 13 reorganization cases—consume billable hours that could be spent on complex filings, creditor negotiations, or strategy sessions. In a 2023 survey of 120 bankruptcy firms, 68% reported attorneys lost 5–8 hours per week to repetitive client calls, reducing capacity to handle 15–20 additional cases annually.

Why Bankruptcy Attorneys Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
An AI voice agent answers every call within 3 seconds, even at 2:17 a.m. after a foreclosure notice. It asks qualifying questions—'Are your debts primarily consumer? Do you earn above the state median?'—to determine if the client qualifies for Chapter 7 or should consider Chapter 13. It then schedules a consultation with a real attorney, syncing with your calendar and sending a confirmation email with the client’s case type, income details, and a checklist of documents needed (e.g., tax returns, pay stubs, creditor list). Since implementation, firms report a 92% lead conversion rate—up from 58%—with 87% of clients who speak to the AI completing the full intake form.
Automate Consultation Scheduling
The AI schedules consultations instantly, ensuring clients don’t miss the 30-day window to file after receiving a wage garnishment notice. It integrates with your case management system to pre-fill intake forms with client responses, reducing onboarding time from 45 minutes to 8 minutes. For Chapter 13 cases, it automatically flags clients whose income exceeds the state median and prompts them to confirm their projected disposable income—critical for drafting a compliant 5-year wage earner’s plan. One firm in Texas reduced their average case setup time from 3.2 days to 1.1 days after deploying the AI.
Build Trust with Natural, Human-Like Calls
The AI uses empathetic, natural-sounding Rime Arcana voices trained on real bankruptcy call data. It acknowledges emotional stress—'I understand this is overwhelming. Let’s walk through your options together.'—and remembers past interactions: if a client previously asked about co-signers, the AI references that concern in future calls. It also explains discharge timelines: 'In Chapter 7, your discharge typically comes 90–120 days after the 341 meeting. In Chapter 13, it’s after your final payment, usually 5 years.' This builds trust and reduces anxiety, leading to higher client retention and fewer complaints to the state bar.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost 38% of calls last year—especially after midnight when clients got eviction notices. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve captured 94% of leads. One client called at 1:45 a.m. after a foreclosure filing. The AI confirmed his Chapter 7 eligibility, scheduled a consultation, and sent a document checklist. He filed within 48 hours and got his automatic stay. That’s 12 more cases this quarter—without hiring extra staff.”

“Pro se filings were killing our throughput. We’d spend 3 hours fixing a client’s Chapter 13 plan because they used the wrong median income. Now, our AI asks, 'Do you earn above the state median?' and guides them to the right chapter. We’ve cut intake errors by 72% and reduced dismissal rates from 34% to 9% in 10 months. The AI even reminds clients about the 341 meeting—no more missed appointments.”

“Clients keep asking about discharge of medical debt and co-signer liability. The AI remembers their concerns and brings them up in follow-ups. One client called twice—once about a car loan, once about a spouse’s debt. The second call, the AI said, 'You mentioned your co-signer might be affected. We’ll discuss that in your consultation.' They didn’t repeat anything. That personal touch made all the difference—our retention rate jumped to 89%.”
