The Missed Bankruptcy Case Leads Cost Thousands
Clients File Pro Se After Missed After-Hours Calls Due to Lack of Legal Guidance on Means Test and Chapter Eligibility
78% of potential clients who leave voicemails never return—many proceed with a pro se filing without understanding the critical 'means test' requirements. For example, if a debtor’s current monthly income exceeds the state median, they may be ineligible for Chapter 7 liquidation and must instead pursue Chapter 13 reorganization or a wage earner’s plan. Without legal guidance, pro se filers often miscalculate disposable income, fail to list all nonpriority unsecured debt, or submit incorrect schedules, leading to dismissal or denial of discharge of debts. This not only harms the client but creates costly follow-up work for attorneys who must correct errors or assist with reinstatement.
After-Hours Calls Go Unanswered—Resulting in Lost Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Leads During Peak Crisis Hours
Bankruptcy cases often arise during late-night emergencies—such as wage garnishments, foreclosure notices, or IRS levies—when individuals are most vulnerable. 85% of callers who reach voicemail never call back, meaning your firm loses high-intent leads during critical decision windows. For example, a debtor facing a Chapter 13 filing with a $45,000 debt and a current monthly income of $6,200 (above the California median) may need immediate guidance on whether they qualify for Chapter 7 after passing the means test. Without a live response, they turn to a competitor or file pro se, risking a dismissal due to improper chapter selection or failure to meet the 25% nonpriority unsecured debt threshold.
Attorneys Waste 30% of Billable Time Correcting Pro Se Filings and Misunderstandings of the Means Test
Attorneys spend an average of 30% of their time reviewing and correcting errors from pro se filers or non-attorney petition preparers. Common issues include miscalculating 'current monthly income' (including bonuses or overtime), misclassifying debts as secured vs. nonpriority unsecured, or failing to account for allowable deductions like childcare or medical expenses. These errors can trigger a presumption of abuse under the means test—where net income over 5 years exceeds $10,275 or 25% of nonpriority unsecured debt (whichever is greater)—leading to case dismissal unless a motion to dismiss is successfully contested. This delays the client’s path to discharge of debts and reduces firm efficiency.

Why Bankruptcy Attorneys Choose Answrr
Capture Every Case Lead
Answrr captures every after-hours call with a natural, professional voice that explains the bankruptcy process in real time—asking whether the caller is considering Chapter 7 liquidation, Chapter 13 reorganization, or a wage earner’s plan. It collects key data like current monthly income, total nonpriority unsecured debt, and whether they’ve received a creditor’s rights notice. For example, if a caller reports $7,000 in current monthly income and $60,000 in unsecured debt, Answrr flags it as a potential Chapter 13 candidate and books a consultation within 15 minutes. This ensures no high-intent lead is lost during peak crisis hours—directly increasing conversion rates by up to 40%.
Book Appointments While You Sleep
Answrr’s AI receptionist checks real-time calendar availability and books consultations with precision—scheduling a Chapter 13 intake within 10 minutes of a call, even on weekends. For example, a client calling at 10:30 PM on a Friday about a foreclosure notice can be booked for a Monday morning appointment with a senior attorney who specializes in Chapter 13 wage earner’s plans. This immediate follow-up aligns with the 3–5 year timeline of a Chapter 13 plan, ensuring the client starts strong with accurate documentation and a clear discharge strategy. Firms using Answrr report a 35% reduction in appointment no-shows due to automated reminders and pre-appointment intake.
Build Trust with Natural AI
Rime Arcana voice technology delivers emotionally intelligent, conversational responses that mirror a seasoned bankruptcy attorney. When a caller says, 'I’m overwhelmed—I just got a notice from my creditor,' the AI responds with empathy and clarity: 'I understand this is stressful. Let me help you determine whether you qualify for Chapter 7 liquidation or need a Chapter 13 reorganization plan. Can you tell me your current monthly income and total unsecured debt?' This level of nuance builds trust, reduces anxiety, and ensures accurate intake—critical for clients navigating complex Chapter 11 debtor in possession scenarios or creditor’s rights in bankruptcy proceedings.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost over 12 clients last quarter because we weren’t answering after 6 PM. One client called at 11:15 PM after receiving a wage garnishment notice—she was considering pro se Chapter 7 but didn’t know about the means test. Answrr caught her call, explained the income threshold, and booked her a consultation with our Chapter 13 specialist. She’s now in a 5-year wage earner’s plan and has avoided foreclosure. This service has saved us from losing leads during our busiest hours.”

“I used to spend 4–6 hours weekly reviewing pro se filings from clients who didn’t understand the means test. Now, Answrr screens every call, asks about current monthly income, lists all nonpriority unsecured debt, and only routes qualified leads. Last month, we caught a client with $5,800 in monthly income and $85,000 in unsecured debt—just below the means test threshold for Chapter 7. We advised her to file Chapter 13, and she’s now on track for a full discharge. It’s like having a legal intake assistant on duty 24/7.”

“One of our repeat clients called at 2 AM after a creditor filed a proof of claim in her Chapter 11 case. Answrr recognized her voice, recalled her case type, and connected her directly to our lead counsel. She was able to respond to the creditor’s rights notice within 24 hours—critical for maintaining her debtor in possession status. This level of continuity and responsiveness is what sets us apart in a competitive market.”
