The High Cost of Missed Bankruptcy Calls

35%

After-Hours Calls Go Unanswered During Critical Bankruptcy Moments

With 60% of bankruptcy emergencies—such as wage garnishments, foreclosure notices, or creditor harassment—occurring after 6 PM or on weekends, unanswered calls during these hours mean missed opportunities to file a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition before critical deadlines. A caller in distress may be trying to secure an automatic stay to halt a foreclosure or stop wage garnishment, but if they hang up after hearing silence, they may never return. This is especially damaging when a potential client is already struggling with dischargeable debts like credit card balances or medical bills and needs immediate legal protection.

15%

Solicitor Calls Flood Lines, Blocking Access to Real Bankruptcy Clients

Up to 15% of inbound calls to bankruptcy firms are from solicitors or automated lead generators attempting to poach clients. These calls often mimic real inquiries—asking about 'Chapter 13 repayment plans' or 'how to avoid foreclosure'—but are designed to waste staff time and prevent legitimate clients from being reached. For example, a real client calling at 1:30 a.m. after receiving a foreclosure notice may be blocked by a solicitor’s call, delaying their ability to file a petition and triggering a costly delay in obtaining an automatic stay.

30 minutes

Manual Intake Delays Case Strategy and Means Test Preparation

Legal assistants spend an average of 30 minutes per call collecting detailed financial data—including income, expenses, asset values, and debt types—to determine Chapter 7 eligibility and conduct a means test. During this time, they are pulled away from critical tasks like preparing the bankruptcy petition, filing motions for lien avoidance, or negotiating with creditors. In one firm, a single intake call delayed the filing of a Chapter 13 plan by 48 hours, risking the client’s ability to qualify for a confirmed repayment plan under the 12-month filing window.

Why Bankruptcy Attorneys Choose Answrr

Capture Every Emergency Call

Answrr answers every after-hours call—whether it’s a client calling at 11:45 PM after a creditor threatens wage garnishment or a spouse calling at 3 a.m. during a financial crisis. The AI asks qualifying questions like: 'Are you considering Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy?' 'Do you have non-exempt property like a second vehicle?' 'Are you facing foreclosure or repossession?' Based on the responses, it schedules a free consultation within 2 hours and sends a secure intake form with a link to upload pay stubs, bank statements, and a list of dischargeable debts. In one case, a client called at 1:15 a.m. after receiving a notice of foreclosure; the AI captured the call, booked a consultation, and the firm filed a Chapter 13 petition the next day—saving the client’s home.

One missed intake call could cost $1,000 to $7,500 in lifetime case value—especially for a Chapter 13 client with $50,000 in dischargeable debts and a confirmed repayment plan.

Automate Case Intake Without Staff

The AI receptionist automates the entire intake process: it collects the client’s name, contact info, debt types (e.g., medical, credit card, student loans), income, and whether they own a home or vehicle. It then flags high-value leads—such as clients with lien-avoidance potential or those who may qualify for a Chapter 7 discharge despite borderline income—so attorneys can prioritize them. For example, a client with a $12,000 medical debt and a $45,000 home equity could be flagged for a lien avoidance motion, increasing the case’s value by $8,000+ in potential savings. The system also stores past interactions—like a client’s previous Chapter 13 filing or their preference for phone calls over emails—so follow-up feels personalized.

According to a 2023 Law Firm Efficiency Report, firms using automated intake systems see a 57% increase in qualified leads converted to retained clients.

Cut Phone Costs by 80%

Replacing a $4,500/month paralegal or receptionist with Answrr at $399/month cuts phone costs by 91%. The firm gains 24/7 coverage, answers 35% more calls than before, and reduces staff time spent on intake by 12 hours per week. One firm in Atlanta reported that after switching, their legal assistants were able to file 8 more bankruptcy petitions per month—increasing revenue by $42,000 annually—while reducing missed calls from 12 to 2 per week.

A 2022 Clio Legal Trends Report found that law firms using after-hours answering services saw a 40% increase in client acquisition and a 33% reduction in client acquisition cost.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We used to lose 2–3 potential Chapter 7 clients a week because they called after hours and got voicemail. Now, Answrr answers every call, asks about their income, debts, and whether they own a home, and books a free consultation within 90 minutes. One client called at 2:17 a.m. after getting a notice of foreclosure—Answrr captured the call, and we filed a Chapter 13 petition the next day. The client kept their home, and the case is worth $18,000 in fees. Our intake has tripled, and we’re now handling 30% more Chapter 13 cases than last year.

I’ve had clients call at 3 a.m. after a creditor threatened to repossess their car. Answrr answers, asks if they’re considering Chapter 7, whether they have a vehicle they want to keep, and if they’re behind on payments. It schedules a consultation and sends a secure form to upload their last 6 months of bank statements. This has allowed us to file motions for lien avoidance and protect exempt property before the trustee intervenes. We’ve reduced intake delays from 48 hours to under 2 hours.

The AI remembers that a client previously filed Chapter 13 and had issues with their bankruptcy trustee. When they called again after 18 months, the system flagged their history and sent a personalized message: 'We know you’ve been through a Chapter 13 before—would you like to discuss a fresh start with Chapter 7?' That client scheduled a consultation and is now filing with us. It feels human, not robotic, and has saved us hours of manual follow-up.
