The Crisis of Missed Calls
After-Hours Legal Emergencies Go Unanswered — 60% of Criminal Cases Begin After Business Hours
When a client is arrested late at night or on a weekend—common in DUI, domestic violence, or drug possession cases—immediate post-arrest consultation is critical. Yet 60% of legal emergencies occur after business hours, and most criminal defense firms lack staff to answer. Without timely intervention, clients miss the crucial window to request a bail hearing or file a pre-trial motion, risking extended detention and weakened case strategy. This delay can directly impact the outcome of a felony defense or misdemeanor charges.
Clients Hang Up Without Leaving Voicemails — 73% of High-Intent Leads Disappear Before Case Intake
A caller reaches your firm after being charged with a felony, such as armed robbery or drug trafficking, and is desperate for help. They hang up after 15 seconds—73% of the time—because they don’t want to leave a voicemail. These are not random callers; they are high-intent leads in the middle of a criminal procedure crisis. Without an AI that can capture their name, charge type, and urgency in real time, your firm loses a critical opportunity for client intake before the case escalates.
Staff Overwhelmed During Peak Hours — 85% of Voicemail Callers Never Return
During high-volume periods—such as after a major arrest sweep or during a court backlog—your intake team is inundated with calls for misdemeanor charges, felony defense, and urgent bail hearings. When callers reach voicemail, 85% never call back, especially if they’re anxious about a pending arraignment. This results in missed client intake windows, delayed pre-trial motions, and lost revenue—particularly when the case involves a client who needs immediate legal representation to avoid a prolonged jail stay.

Why Criminal Defense Attorneys Choose Answrr
Capture Emergency Leads 24/7
Our AI voice agent answers after-hours calls from clients arrested at 2:17 a.m. for a felony drug charge, immediately collects their name, charge type, location, and urgency level, and books a same-day post-arrest consultation within 90 seconds. This reduces missed opportunities by 92% and ensures that critical criminal procedure timelines—like filing a motion to suppress evidence—are not missed due to delayed intake.
Book Same-Day Consultations Automatically
When a client calls at 8:45 p.m. after being charged with a DUI, the AI agent confirms their identity, identifies the case as a misdemeanor with potential felony enhancement, and books a same-day consultation with a lead attorney. The system auto-sends a confirmation email with a link to a pre-consultation form, reducing client drop-off by 76% and increasing conversion from inquiry to paid case by 41%.
Trust Through Natural, Human-Like Voice
The AI voice agent uses natural-sounding Rime Arcana voices trained on criminal law terminology, asking, 'Are you seeking help with a felony defense or a misdemeanor charge?' and responding empathetically to clients in distress. Clients report feeling heard during emergencies, even when they don’t realize they’re speaking to AI—critical for maintaining trust during high-stress criminal case intake.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost three clients in one month because they called after midnight after being arrested for possession with intent—no one answered. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve booked 17 same-day post-arrest consultations in the past 90 days. One client was charged with a Class 2 felony; our AI captured the details and got them into a bail hearing within 12 hours. That case was dismissed due to a suppressed search. This isn’t just convenience—it’s case-winning speed.”

“I was skeptical—how could an AI understand the urgency of a client facing a federal drug charge? But after the first week, a client called at 1:30 a.m. after being detained at the border. The AI asked the right questions, confirmed the case type, and booked a consultation with our federal defense team. The client said, 'I didn’t know I was talking to a robot—your voice sounded so real.' We’ve since booked 12 emergency consultations in the last 60 days that would’ve been lost before.”
