The High Cost of Missed Legal Calls
Missed Intake Calls During Peak Hours Cost Civil Litigation Firms High-Value Cases
During peak hours—typically 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM—35% of intake calls go unanswered at civil litigation firms. For a mid-sized firm handling 120 intake calls per week, this translates to 42 missed leads monthly. Many of these calls are from clients seeking urgent representation in personal injury, commercial disputes, or employment litigation, where timing directly impacts case value. Without immediate response, firms lose not only the immediate client conversion rate but also the potential for higher-case-value referrals, with an average lifetime client value of $18,500 in civil litigation.
After-Hours Legal Emergencies Go Unanswered, Risking Case Viability
60% of legal emergencies—such as imminent asset seizures, wage garnishments, or critical discovery deadlines—occur outside business hours. Yet 73% of callers hang up without leaving a voicemail when they can’t reach a live person. For civil litigation firms, this means missing time-sensitive opportunities to file motions, serve subpoenas, or initiate protective orders. A single missed emergency call can result in a $50,000+ case value loss due to procedural default or adverse rulings.
Staff Overwhelmed by Manual Intake Calls, Reducing Case Work Time
Legal assistants in civil litigation firms spend an average of 32 minutes per intake call collecting case details, including incident dates, opposing party information, insurance coverage, and damages. With 80% of potential clients abandoning the inquiry after reaching voicemail, firms lose high-potential leads—especially in complex cases like product liability or breach of contract—before they even qualify for a consultation. This inefficiency reduces time available for drafting pleadings, managing discovery, or preparing for trial, directly impacting case outcomes and firm throughput.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing 30% of intake calls during peak hours—especially from clients in personal injury cases with tight statute of limitations. After implementing Answrr, we now capture every lead, including after-hours emergencies like a client’s car accident claim being denied within 48 hours. The AI remembers past case details, so clients don’t repeat themselves. In just 90 days, we secured 17 new retainer agreements with an average case value of $64,000—directly tied to faster response times and better lead qualification.”

“Our legal assistants were spending over 4 hours per day on intake calls—time that should’ve been spent on discovery requests and motion drafting. Now, the AI handles lead qualification, collects case details, and schedules consultations with our trial team. We’ve reduced intake time by 68% and increased consultation bookings by 40%. One client even said, 'I didn’t expect a firm this big to respond this fast.' That’s the difference in winning high-value cases.”
Derek Simmons
Office Manager, Simmons & Associates, LLP, Civil Litigation Firms
“I was skeptical about AI, but the natural voice and ability to handle complex questions—like whether a case was subject to arbitration clauses or had a federal jurisdiction issue—surprised me. One client called at 10:30 PM after a workplace harassment incident and was immediately connected to our on-call attorney. We filed a temporary restraining order the next morning. The client later signed a retainer agreement worth $98,000. The AI didn’t just answer the phone—it saved a case.”
