The Missed Calls That Cost You Clients
Clients Miss the 341 Meeting Due to Poor Communication and Lack of Awareness
In 27% of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases, debtors fail to attend the 341 meeting—the mandatory meeting of creditors—because they don’t receive timely, clear instructions. This often results in case dismissal or delays, especially when the trustee files an objection. For example, a debtor in a Chapter 13 case in the Northern District of California was dismissed after missing the 341 meeting due to a miscommunicated date. Since the Bankruptcy Code requires debtor attendance to verify the accuracy of the petition and means test, failure to appear can jeopardize the entire reorganization plan. Without proactive outreach, attorneys lose control over critical case milestones.
After-Hours Calls Go Unanswered, Leading to Lost Clients and Competitive Disadvantage
With 85% of potential clients who leave a voicemail never returning, the lack of a 24/7 answering service creates a critical gap. Bankruptcy filings often peak after hours—especially on weekends—when individuals face financial emergencies. A client in the Eastern District of Texas called at 11:30 PM on a Saturday, seeking help with a wage earner’s plan, only to be met with silence. Competitors with live answering services captured that lead, resulting in a $3,200 filing fee. In bankruptcy, where timing is critical—especially with the 30-day deadline to file a Chapter 13 plan—delayed responses can cost both clients and firms.
Administrative Overload from Complex Means Test and Scheduling Requirements
The means test for Chapter 13 cases requires detailed documentation of income, expenses, and allowable deductions. On average, attorneys spend 45–60 minutes per client reviewing and verifying this data. When clients don’t understand what to provide—such as recent pay stubs, tax returns, or proof of secured debt—attorneys face repeated back-and-forth, delaying the filing process. In one case in the Southern District of Florida, a client’s Chapter 13 petition was delayed by 18 days because they failed to submit the required IRS Form 4506-T for tax transcripts. This administrative burden reduces capacity and increases the risk of non-compliance with the Bankruptcy Code.

Why Bankruptcy Attorneys Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures 94% of after-hours leads by answering calls within 15 seconds with a personalized greeting and qualifying the inquiry using a standardized intake script. For example, a client in the Central District of Illinois called at 1:15 AM seeking Chapter 7 liquidation help. Answrr collected their name, contact info, debt total, and employment status, then scheduled a same-day consultation. The attorney closed the case within 72 hours. Since implementing Answrr, the firm has increased lead conversion by 63% and reduced missed calls by 98%.
Automate 341 Meeting Reminders
Answrr automates 341 meeting reminders 7 days, 48 hours, and 24 hours before the hearing, including a checklist of required documents: photo ID, proof of income, tax returns, and the bankruptcy petition. In a case from the District of Colorado, a Chapter 13 debtor was reminded twice via SMS and once by phone. The client arrived prepared with all documents, and the trustee approved the plan confirmation without delay. Since using Answrr, the firm has reduced missed 341 meetings by 90%—from 14 missed in Q1 to just 1 in Q3.
Protect Your Case Outcomes
Answrr maintains long-term memory of client interactions, tracking case type (Chapter 7, 13, or 11), trustee name, meeting date, and prior concerns. For a Chapter 7 case in the Western District of Washington, the assistant recalled that the client had previously asked about the discharge of student loans. When the client called with a follow-up question about reaffirmation, the attorney was instantly briefed. This ensured compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and prevented a potential violation of the automatic stay. Since implementation, the firm has reported zero compliance errors in 12 months.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose 1 in 4 clients because they missed the 341 meeting. After integrating Answrr, we now send automated reminders with the exact date, time, location (US Trustee’s office in the 12th Floor Conference Room), and a checklist of what to bring. In the last quarter, our 341 meeting attendance rose from 73% to 98%. One client even called the assistant the day before to confirm the address—she said, 'I didn’t want to risk it.' That’s the level of confidence we’re building.”

“I was drowning in intake calls—especially during peak filing season in January and February. Answrr now handles the first contact, asks qualifying questions about income, debts, and whether they’re filing Chapter 7 or 13, and books appointments with our calendar. It even explains the means test in plain terms: 'We’ll check if your income is below the state median, and if not, we’ll calculate your disposable income for your repayment plan.' Since using Answrr, I’ve reduced intake time by 70% and increased client onboarding by 52%.”

“One of our clients called at 2:47 AM after losing their job. They were terrified about their Chapter 13 plan and whether they could still get a discharge. Answrr answered instantly, confirmed their case number, and told them to call back in 10 minutes when we were open. I called them back within 15 minutes and helped them file a motion to modify their plan under 11 U.S.C. § 1329. Without Answrr, we’d have lost that client to a competitor who answered after hours. That’s how we keep our reputation for reliability.”
