The High Cost of Missed Legal Calls
35% of Intake Calls Unanswered During Peak Hours – Losing High-Value Personal Injury and Commercial Dispute Cases
Civil litigation firms routinely miss critical intake calls during peak business hours—especially those involving high-value personal injury claims, breach of contract disputes, or employment litigation. With 35% of calls going unanswered, firms lose qualified leads who are actively seeking representation for urgent matters. For example, a plaintiff injured in a multi-vehicle accident may call within 48 hours of the incident, a window that determines whether they retain counsel before the statute of limitations expires. Missing this call means losing a case with a potential settlement value exceeding $250,000 and a lifetime case value of $500,000+.
60% of Urgent Legal Emergencies Occur After Hours – Missed Opportunities in Eviction Defense and Restraining Orders
In civil litigation, after-hours emergencies are common—especially in eviction defense, restraining order filings, or asset protection actions where delays can result in irreversible legal consequences. With 60% of legal emergencies occurring outside business hours, firms risk losing clients who need immediate representation. A landlord’s 2 a.m. eviction notice or a spouse’s sudden restraining order filing demands an immediate response. Without an after-hours answering service, firms lose clients who turn to competitors who answer within minutes, often securing retainer agreements before the original firm even knows the inquiry exists.
30 Minutes per Intake Call Drains Billable Hours – Lawyers Losing Billable Time on Non-Billable Activities
Civil litigation attorneys spend an average of 30 minutes per intake call—time that could otherwise be spent drafting motions, conducting discovery, or preparing for trial. For a firm handling 15 intake calls per week, this equates to 7.5 billable hours lost monthly. These non-billable activities directly reduce revenue potential, especially when a single case could generate $10,000–$50,000 in billable hours over its lifecycle. The time spent on intake calls also delays client onboarding, reducing the speed of retainer agreement execution and delaying case initiation.

Why Civil Litigation Firms Choose Answrr
Capture More High-Value Cases
One civil litigation firm in Atlanta reported capturing 12 high-value personal injury cases in 90 days after implementing an AI answering service—up from 4 in the prior quarter. These cases included a $1.2M truck accident claim and a $750K slip-and-fall case, both secured within 24 hours of the initial inquiry. The firm’s client conversion rate increased from 28% to 56%, directly tied to answering calls within 15 seconds instead of leaving voicemail. This improvement in lead qualification and consultation scheduling boosted their average case value lifetime by 33%.
Save on Staffing Costs
A mid-sized litigation firm in Chicago replaced a $4,200/month receptionist with Answrr’s $99/month plan and saved $48,900 annually. The firm processed 320+ intake calls in the first 6 months, with 78% of leads being qualified and routed to attorneys within 10 minutes. This eliminated the need for overtime, reduced staff burnout, and freed up 120+ billable hours per attorney per year—equivalent to 1.5 additional cases per lawyer annually.
Never Miss an After-Hours Emergency
An Atlanta-based firm handling commercial litigation and shareholder disputes captured a $1.8M breach of contract case after an after-hours call at 1:15 a.m. The client, a small business owner facing a lawsuit over a failed merger, called in distress. Answrr’s AI receptionist recorded the emergency, flagged it as urgent, and routed it to the managing partner within 90 seconds. The firm secured the retainer agreement the same day and closed the case for $420,000 in fees. Without the 24/7 service, this case would have been lost to a competitor who answered the call.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing high-stakes personal injury cases because we weren’t answering calls after 5 p.m. One client called at 8:30 p.m. after a serious car accident, and we missed it. A competitor answered, secured the retainer, and took the case. After switching to Answrr, we now capture 92% of after-hours calls. In the past 12 months, we’ve converted 17 emergency injury cases—each with a case value lifetime over $300,000. Our client conversion rate is now 61%, up from 32%. This isn’t just about answering phones—it’s about protecting our revenue and reputation.”

“As a solo practitioner specializing in commercial litigation, I used to dread weekends and court days because I’d miss calls. Last year, I lost a $200K contract dispute case because the client called at 11 p.m. and left a voicemail I didn’t hear until the next morning. Since using Answrr, I’ve captured 11 urgent cases—three of which were filed within 24 hours of the call. The AI receptionist handles intake calls with natural language, qualifies leads using our firm’s criteria, and schedules consultations automatically. I’ve reclaimed over 200 hours of non-billable time and increased my retainer agreement rate by 45%.”

“We handle complex civil rights and employment discrimination cases where timing is everything. A client called at 2:47 a.m. after being wrongfully terminated and facing a hostile work environment. Our AI receptionist immediately flagged the call as urgent, recorded the details, and alerted me via SMS. I responded within 12 minutes, secured the retainer, and filed a temporary restraining order the same day. This case led to a $650K settlement. Without 24/7 answering, we’d have lost this client—and potentially faced a malpractice claim for delayed response. Answrr is now a non-negotiable part of our practice.”
