The Cost of Missed Legal Calls
Lost Client Acquisition During Critical Case Windows – Missed Subpoena or Hearing Notice Calls After Hours
Civil litigation firms often miss high-value client inquiries during court hours or after 6 PM, especially when responding to urgent matters like a subpoena service, last-minute hearing notice, or a plaintiff’s emergency motion to compel. With 78% of potential clients refusing to leave voicemails, firms risk losing cases before intake even begins. For example, a firm in Chicago lost a $250,000 personal injury case because the injured plaintiff called at 8:30 PM after a car accident and received no response—despite having a valid claim and a pending discovery phase.
Delayed Response to Motion to Dismiss or Summary Judgment Inquiries – Competitive Disadvantage in Client Acquisition
When a defendant receives a motion to dismiss or a plaintiff files a summary judgment motion, timing is critical. 85% of potential clients expect a response within 5 minutes—yet many civil litigation firms still rely on human receptionists who are unavailable during peak filing periods. A firm in Dallas reported losing three high-profile commercial litigation clients in one month because their intake team was overwhelmed during the discovery phase, resulting in delayed responses to urgent case inquiries.
Staff Overload During Discovery Phase or Injunction Hearings – High Call Abandonment Rates
During the discovery phase, firms receive a surge of calls related to document requests, depositions, and subpoena compliance. With an average call abandonment rate of 35% in legal firms, many potential clients hang up when transferred or placed on hold. One mid-sized firm in San Diego reported abandoning 42% of calls during a high-stakes antitrust case involving 12 parties and 300+ discovery requests, directly impacting their ability to secure new retainers.

Why Civil Litigation Firms Choose Answrr
Capture More Clients
Capture 85% of after-hours inquiries—such as a plaintiff calling at 9 PM with a new injury claim or a defendant receiving a last-minute injunction notice—by instantly routing calls to case intake, collecting essential details (e.g., case type, jurisdiction, claim amount), and scheduling consultations within 3 minutes. One firm in Atlanta increased its client acquisition by 68% in Q3 after implementing AI intake, securing 14 new cases from after-hours calls that would have otherwise been lost.
Cut Phone Staffing Costs
Replace a full-time paralegal or receptionist ($5,000/month) with an AI phone system that handles 150+ calls per day during peak filing seasons, including intake for discovery disputes, motion filings, and hearing notices. One firm in Houston saved $48,000 annually by automating intake during the 30-day window before a major summary judgment deadline, freeing staff to focus on legal drafting instead of phone management.
Compliant & Secure Call Handling
Ensure GDPR and state-specific legal data compliance (e.g., CCPA, NY SHIELD Act) with end-to-end encryption and automatic data deletion after 30 days. The system securely logs sensitive details—such as a plaintiff’s medical records mentioned in a personal injury inquiry or a defendant’s financial disclosures during discovery—without human exposure, reducing breach risk and ensuring compliance during audits.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost three clients in one week because we couldn’t answer calls during a critical discovery phase. After implementing Answrr, we now capture every inquiry—even at 10 PM when a plaintiff calls about a subpoena for medical records. The AI asks qualifying questions, confirms jurisdiction, and books a consultation within 4 minutes. Since then, we’ve secured 11 new cases from after-hours calls, including a $320,000 commercial contract dispute.”

“During a 45-day injunction hearing prep, our phone lines were jammed with calls about depositions and motion responses. Answrr handled 187 intake calls in 10 days—qualifying leads, collecting case details, and scheduling consultations. Our conversion rate jumped from 22% to 33% in that quarter. Now, we use it year-round, especially during discovery phases and before summary judgment deadlines.”
David Reed
Legal Director, Complex Commercial Litigation, Civil Litigation Firms
“I was skeptical—until I heard the AI handle a call about a pending motion to dismiss. It asked the right questions, confirmed the case type, and even reminded the caller of an upcoming hearing notice. The client didn’t realize they were talking to a bot. Now, we use it to follow up on missed deadlines and remind clients of upcoming discovery requests—reducing missed filings by 40%.”
