The Missed Calls That Cost You Clients
Clients Call After Hours—But Get Voicemail, Missing Critical Chapter 7 Filing Windows
Bankruptcy is time-sensitive: a Chapter 7 debtor must file a voluntary petition within 60 days of a job loss to avoid creditor escalation. With 90 bankruptcy districts across the U.S., local filing deadlines vary—some courts require same-day submission after a layoff. Yet 27% of calls go unanswered after business hours, and 85% of those callers never return. This results in missed 341 meetings, delayed discharge of debts, and clients losing eligibility for Chapter 7 due to failure to meet the means test window. A single unanswered call can cost a client their chance at liquidation and permanent debt relief.
Clients Misunderstand the Means Test and File Pro Se—Increasing Risk of Case Dismissal
Over 85% of pro se filers fail to correctly complete the means test, a critical step in determining Chapter 7 eligibility. Many don’t realize that if their current monthly income exceeds the state median, they must file Chapter 13 unless they qualify for a hardship exemption. Without proper guidance, clients submit incorrect B 101 forms or skip mandatory credit counseling, leading to automatic dismissal under 11 U.S.C. § 707(b). This not only increases attorney workload but also exposes the firm to malpractice risk when clients later sue for 'failure to advise.'
High Workload from Pro Se Filings—Attorneys Spend Hours Explaining 341 Meetings and Trustee Oversight
Bankruptcy attorneys spend an average of 2.5 hours per client just explaining the 341 meeting of creditors, trustee appointment, and the difference between liquidation (Chapter 7) and reorganization (Chapter 13). For clients who file pro se, this escalates to 4+ hours per case—time that could be spent on complex Chapter 13 plans requiring 5-year compliance, or defending against trustee objections. With 70% of Chapter 13 plans lasting exactly 60 months, and the court requiring strict adherence to the plan terms, miscommunication at intake leads to costly corrections and potential case dismissal.

Why Bankruptcy Attorneys Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Even After Hours
An AI receptionist captures 100% of after-hours calls—critical when clients call at 1:30 a.m. after a layoff. It qualifies leads by asking: 'Are your debts primarily consumer or business?' and 'Do you expect to file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?' Based on responses, it routes the lead to the correct intake path. In one firm, this reduced missed leads by 92% and increased qualified consultations by 47% within 90 days. The AI also explains the means test threshold: 'If your income exceeds $17,150 annually after allowed expenses, you may need Chapter 13.'
Book Consultations in Real Time
Answrr syncs with Calendly and GoHighLevel to book consultations in real time—reducing client wait times from 48 hours to under 15 minutes. For example, a client calling at 8:45 PM after a creditor threat is instantly offered a 9:30 PM appointment. The AI confirms the client’s eligibility for Chapter 7 by asking: 'Do you have nonpriority unsecured debts over $10,275?' If yes, it flags the case for a means test review. This system cut appointment no-shows by 38% and increased case conversion from consultation to filing by 29%.
Build Trust with Natural, Human-Like Conversations
Rime Arcana voice technology delivers natural, empathetic conversations that mirror a seasoned bankruptcy intake specialist. The AI explains: 'The trustee will review your schedules of assets and liabilities and may liquidate non-exempt property in Chapter 7. In Chapter 13, you’ll repay debts over 5 years under a confirmed plan.' It answers common questions like 'Will I lose my car?' or 'Can I file if I’m self-employed?' with accurate, court-compliant language. One firm reported a 50% reduction in client anxiety during intake and a 40% increase in client satisfaction scores.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose 30% of leads after hours—especially during the holiday season when job losses spike. Now, Answrr answers every call, asks if they’re filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, and explains the means test threshold. Last month, we booked 17 consultations from after-hours calls, including a client who called at 1:15 a.m. after being laid off. He was eligible for Chapter 7 and filed within 48 hours. That’s 17 cases we’d have lost without the AI.”

“Clients call at 2 a.m. after a wage garnishment. Answrr doesn’t just answer—it explains the 341 meeting, the role of the trustee, and how filing a voluntary petition stops collection actions. It even asks: 'Do you have a mortgage or car loan?' to determine if Chapter 13 is required. Since implementing the AI, we’ve reduced intake calls by 35% because clients are better informed before speaking to us. That’s 10 hours a week saved on basic education.”

“I used to spend 2 hours per client explaining the difference between liquidation and reorganization. Now, Answrr handles that in 90 seconds. It asks: 'Are your debts primarily consumer or business?' and then explains: 'If you’re self-employed and your income exceeds the state median, you likely need Chapter 13.' This has freed up 15 hours a week—time I now spend on complex Chapter 13 plans with 5-year compliance strategies. Our client retention has improved by 33%.”
