The Crisis of Missed Criminal Defense Leads
Missed After-Hours Calls Risk Case Disposition and Client Retention in High-Stakes Criminal Defense Matters
Criminal defense attorneys face critical time windows—especially within 48 hours of an arrest—when securing a client’s first consultation can determine whether they retain the case. With 35% of calls to small and mid-sized law firms going unanswered during business hours, and 85% of callers who reach voicemail never returning, many defendants are left without timely representation. This delay can result in missed opportunities to challenge probable cause at a bail hearing, delay filing a motion to suppress evidence, or miss the arraignment date, ultimately increasing the likelihood of a default plea. Given that 90% of criminal defendants plead guilty (Pew Research, 2019), early intervention is not just strategic—it’s essential for case disposition and client retention in criminal defense.
Clients Choose Competitors Who Answer
With 74% drop-off rate for voicemail, clients choose the first attorney who answers—often a competitor with faster response.
No Real-Time Lead Qualification
Without immediate intake, critical details like probable cause, arraignment dates, or bail hearing timelines are lost—delaying case preparation and client trust.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost three felony DUI cases in one month because we weren’t answering calls after 8 p.m.—clients went to firms with 24/7 answering services. After switching to Answrr, we captured a client arrested at 1:45 a.m. on a Class 1 felony drug charge. The AI recorded the <span class='gradient'>probable cause</span> details, flagged the <span class='gradient'>arraignment</span> date, and booked a consultation before the client even left the police station. We secured the case, filed a <span class='gradient'>motion to suppress</span> evidence, and achieved a dismissal. That one case alone paid for the service in two months.”
