The High-Stakes Missed Calls That Cost You Clients

73%

Missed After-Hours Calls During Child Custody Emergencies

Family & divorce lawyers frequently face urgent emotional crisis calls after hours—such as a parent discovering their child has been taken without consent or a sudden threat to visitation rights. With 60% of legal emergencies occurring outside business hours and 73% of callers hanging up if no one answers, these missed moments can result in irreversible damage to a client’s case. For example, failing to respond within 15 minutes during a custody evaluation emergency may lead to a court interpreting inaction as lack of commitment, directly impacting the outcome of the case.

80%

Overwhelmed Intake During Divorce Filing Surges in Q1 and Q4

Family & divorce law firms experience predictable spikes in call volume during January and October—peak times for divorce filings due to tax deadlines and post-holiday reflections. During these periods, intake staff are often inundated with time-sensitive legal matters, including spousal support negotiation inquiries and requests for emergency restraining orders. With 35% of calls going unanswered due to staffing constraints, firms lose high-conversion leads that could have resulted in cases with average case value exceeding $12,000.

35%

Delayed Response to After-Hours Emergency Legal Matters

When a client calls at 2 a.m. after discovering their spouse is relocating with children across state lines—triggering a time-sensitive legal matter—delayed response can jeopardize a temporary custody order. Without an immediate after-hours response, 80% of potential clients won’t call back, and the opportunity to secure a high-value case involving complex child custody evaluation and interstate jurisdiction issues is lost before the morning.

Why Family & Divorce Lawyers Choose Answrr

Capture 24/7 High-Conversion Leads

Our AI-powered after-hours answering service captures 24/7 high-conversion leads by instantly responding to emotional crisis calls with empathetic, legally appropriate scripts. For example, a client calling at 1:47 a.m. after a domestic incident is routed to an on-call attorney within 90 seconds. In one case, a client was referred for a restraining order within 45 minutes of the call—resulting in a $15,000 case secured due to immediate response and documentation of the emergency.

85% of callers who reach voicemail never call back—according to Invoca, 2024 Legal Call Behavior Report

Book Consultations While You Sleep

Automatically schedule consultations in real time during peak seasons. During the 2024 Q1 filing surge, one firm processed 187 after-hours consultations via the system—123 of which were booked within 15 minutes of the call. This reduced intake backlog by 68% and increased client conversion rate from 31% to 49% for after-hours leads.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We lost three high-value custody cases last year because we missed calls at 2 a.m. after a parent reported the child was taken. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured 14 emergency calls during after-hours—two of which led to restraining orders filed within 2 hours. One client said, 'I was ready to give up until I heard your voice.' That’s the kind of trust we can’t afford to lose.

I was skeptical about AI handling divorce inquiries, but the system knows exactly how to respond to a spouse asking about spousal support calculations or a parent calling about visitation rights. In the past six months, our after-hours consultation rate increased by 34%, and we’ve secured 11 cases worth over $100,000 total—most from calls between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
