The Missed Calls Cost DUI/DWI Lawyers Thousands
Missed DUI/DWI Calls During Critical Case Windows Cost Valuable Clients
During the discovery phase of a DUI/DWI case, timing is crucial—clients often call within hours of being arrested, especially after midnight when field sobriety test results and BAC readings are still fresh. Yet 40% of law firm calls go unanswered during business hours due to understaffed intake teams or poor call routing. For example, a client arrested at 1:30 AM may call within 90 minutes of release, but if your office is closed or the line is busy, they may turn to a competitor who answers immediately. This delay can compromise the chain-of-custody of breathalyzer evidence or miss the narrow window to file a motion to suppress improperly administered field sobriety tests—critical early steps in a DUI/DWI defense.
After-Hours DUI Inquiries Are Lost to Voicemail—Even When You’re Available
Approximately 11.25% of potential DUI/DWI clients call between 8 PM and 8 AM—often during high-stress moments like post-arrest bail hearings or when facing a court date. A client who just received a DUI citation at 9:45 PM may be desperate for legal help and call immediately. If your office’s voicemail system is the only option, 78% won’t leave a message, and even if they do, the delay in response can mean missing the opportunity to secure a plea agreement before pretrial hearings. One firm reported losing 5 high-profile DUI cases in a single month because calls came in after 8 PM and went unanswered.
Midday Surge in DUI Calls Overwhelms Intake Staff During Trial Preparation
Between 12 PM and 4 PM, DUI/DWI law firms experience peak call volume—often coinciding with court adjournments and client follow-ups. During this window, intake staff are frequently pulled into trial preparation, pretrial hearings, or discovery phase tasks. A single missed call during this surge can mean losing a client who’s already decided to hire you. One firm reported that during a 3-week trial period, 22 out of 58 calls (38%) were missed due to staff overload, resulting in 11 lost cases that could have been secured with immediate response during the critical 24-hour post-arrest window.

Why DUI/DWI Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture High-Value DUI Cases 24/7
Answrr captures every high-value DUI/DWI inquiry—even at 2:15 AM after a client’s arrest. Our AI agent asks targeted questions: 'Were you given a field sobriety test?' 'Was your BAC over 0.08?' 'Do you have a prior DUI?' Based on responses, it qualifies the lead and books a consultation within 3 minutes. One firm in Austin reported securing 14 new DUI cases in just 10 days after implementing the service—3 of them were from after-hours calls made between 10 PM and 6 AM, including a client whose BAC was 0.12 and who needed immediate motion to suppress filing.
Book Appointments in Real Time
Instead of waiting 2–3 days for email replies or missed phone tags, your AI agent checks real-time calendar availability and books consultations instantly. For a DUI/DWI lawyer preparing for a pretrial hearing, this means no more delays in securing client onboarding. One firm in Denver reduced their average client onboarding time from 4.7 days to 1.2 days after implementing Answrr—resulting in 28 new cases booked in Q1, including 9 from clients who called during a 3-hour midday surge when their intake team was in court.
Professionalism That Builds Trust
With a professional, natural-sounding AI receptionist trained in DUI/DWI terminology, your firm projects immediate credibility. When a client calls at 1:47 AM asking, 'Can you help me fight a BAC of 0.14?' the AI responds: 'Yes, we specialize in high-BAC DUI defenses and can schedule your consultation within the hour. Would you like to discuss your field sobriety test results now?' This level of precision builds trust and prevents clients from hanging up. One firm saw a 37% increase in consultation conversion rates after switching to an AI agent trained in DUI/DWI case timelines and exculpatory evidence protocols.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost three clients in one week because they called after 9 PM and got voicemail. One was a repeat offender with a BAC of 0.16—his case was already in discovery phase, and we missed the window to file a motion to suppress. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured 23 after-hours DUI calls in the last 60 days, including one at 1:18 AM from a client who’d just been released from jail. We scheduled his consultation within 12 minutes, and he’s now our top-case client. This isn’t just convenience—it’s case preservation.”

“Our intake team was drowning during midday surges—especially when we had back-to-back pretrial hearings. We’d miss calls from clients who’d just been cited for refusing a breath test. Now, Answrr handles the overflow, asks about chain-of-custody issues, and books appointments instantly. In March alone, we booked 19 new DUI cases from calls we’d have missed. One client called at 1:30 PM while we were in court—his BAC was 0.10, and he needed to file a motion to suppress immediately. We got him in within 15 minutes. That’s the difference between a win and a lost case.”

“I’m not a tech person, but Answrr’s onboarding assistant walked me through setting up our AI agent in under 8 minutes. It now asks clients about their BAC, field sobriety test performance, and whether they’ve received discovery. When a client called at 2:45 AM after a DUI arrest, the AI booked a consultation and sent a follow-up email with a checklist for gathering exculpatory evidence. That client became a long-term client, and we’ve since won two cases where the chain-of-custody was challenged—thanks to early documentation. This system is a game-changer.”
