The High Cost of Missed Client Calls

62%

Excessive Caseloads Undermine Client Advocacy in High-Volume Criminal Defense Practices

Public defenders and private criminal defense attorneys alike face unsustainable caseloads—averaging 400+ cases per attorney annually—leading to reduced time for critical tasks like pre-trial motions, voir dire preparation, and effective plea bargain negotiation. With 90% of defendants pleading guilty, attorneys must dedicate significant time to crafting strategic defenses and negotiating favorable outcomes. However, when intake calls go unanswered after hours, potential clients seeking urgent help with drug charges, DUIs, or immigration-related criminal matters are lost to competitors. This loss of opportunity directly impacts the ability to serve as a true client advocate, especially in high-stakes scenarios like bail hearings or indictment responses.

85%

Missed Intake Calls Mean Lost Cases

When potential clients call and get voicemail, 85% never call back—they go to a competitor.

90%

No Time for Client Advocacy

With 90% of defendants pleading guilty, attorneys need time to build defense strategies—but missed calls steal that time.

Why Criminal Defense Attorneys Choose Answrr

Capture More Cases, Not Just Calls

Answrr captures 99% of after-hours calls from individuals facing urgent criminal charges—such as a first-time drug possession charge or a DUI with a suspended license—ensuring no lead slips through. For example, one firm in Houston reported a 42% increase in consultations within 6 weeks after implementing the AI agent, specifically converting calls from late-night DUI suspects who previously left voicemails. This allows attorneys to focus on high-value activities like drafting a motion to suppress evidence or preparing for a trial by jury, rather than chasing missed leads.

According to the U.S. Sentencing Commission, 61,758 federal criminal cases were sentenced in 2024—each representing a potential client who may have called outside business hours and been lost without an AI receptionist.

Real Results from Real Businesses

I was losing 3–4 potential clients per week because I couldn’t answer the phone after 6 PM—especially during critical windows like after a bail hearing or when someone was released from jail on a drug charge. Since switching to Answrr, I’ve converted 87% of those missed calls into consultations. One client, arrested for trafficking 10 grams of meth, called at 10:30 PM. The AI captured the call, scheduled a consultation for the next morning, and I was able to file a motion to suppress before the arraignment. That case was dismissed due to illegal search evidence—proof that timely intake matters.
