The High Cost of Missed DUI Calls
After-Hours DUI Arrests Lead to Missed Opportunities – 11.25% of Calls Come After Midnight
DUI/DWI clients are often arrested between 10 PM and 2 AM, triggering urgent calls to their attorneys during non-business hours. With 11.25% of all potential client calls occurring between 8 PM and 8 AM, and 78% of those callers refusing to leave voicemails, law firms risk losing high-intent leads at the most critical moment—when a client is in custody and needs immediate legal guidance on field sobriety test refusal, breathalyzer challenge, or DUI court date preparation. A single unanswered call during this window can mean the difference between securing a case and losing a client to a competitor who answers.
Peak Hour Congestion Delays Critical DUI Intake – 40% of Calls Unanswered During 12 PM–4 PM Window
During the 12 PM to 4 PM peak period, DUI/DWI attorneys face a surge in calls from clients seeking immediate help after an arrest, including inquiries about ignition interlock device (IID) requirements, DUI diversion program eligibility, and DUI probation terms. Despite strong marketing performance, 40% of incoming calls go unanswered—many clients hang up after hearing a busy signal or automated message. This delay directly impacts case intake, especially when clients are deciding between multiple attorneys within hours of their arrest, and can result in lost opportunities to secure a DUI defense strategy before key deadlines.
Delayed Responses Undermine DUI Case Readiness – 35% of Calls Go Unanswered, Costing $109B Annually
A DUI arrest triggers a 72-hour window where legal action is most effective—clients must act fast to challenge the DUI blood draw legality, file a suppression motion, or prepare for their first court date. Yet 35% of law firm calls go unanswered, and 85% of callers who reach voicemail never return. For DUI/DWI lawyers, this delay isn’t just a missed call—it’s a missed opportunity to secure a client before they’re swayed by a competitor who answers immediately. The average time to convert a DUI lead is 2.3 hours; missing that window means losing the case before it begins.

Why DUI/DWI Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture Every Critical Call
Our AI receptionist captures every after-hours and peak-hour call—handling urgent inquiries about breathalyzer challenge procedures, field sobriety test refusal rights, and IID requirements. One DUI/DWI firm in Austin reported booking 14 new consultations from after-hours calls in just 10 days, including 3 clients who were arrested at 1:17 AM and scheduled same-day DUI court date preparation sessions. The system automatically logs client details, including arrest time, location, and charge type, so attorneys can begin case prep immediately.
Book Appointments in Real Time
Automatically schedule DUI consultations, court prep meetings, and DUI diversion program intake appointments in real time. One San Diego DUI firm reduced their average appointment booking time from 48 hours to under 90 minutes by using Answrr. The system integrates with Calendly and Clio, auto-assigning cases based on attorney availability and case type—such as expungement for DUI or DUI probation compliance. In one month, the firm booked 37 new consultations, 12 of which were from clients who called at 11:45 PM after a DUI arrest.
Cut Phone Costs by 80%
Cut phone and staffing costs by 80%—replace a $4,500/month paralegal or receptionist with a $99/month AI system. A Miami-based DUI/DWI firm saved $51,600 in 12 months while increasing intake by 41%. The system handles high-volume call spikes during peak hours and after midnight, freeing attorneys to focus on critical tasks like preparing a DUI suppression motion or challenging the legality of a DUI blood draw. The AI remembers client details—such as prior DUI offenses or IID history—ensuring consistent, personalized follow-up.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing clients who called at 1:30 AM after being arrested for a DUI with a BAC of 0.12. Our old answering service didn’t answer, and by the time we called back, they’d already hired another attorney. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve booked 21 new DUI cases from after-hours calls in three months—12 of them were from clients who needed immediate help with breathalyzer challenge strategies and DUI court date preparation. The AI even asks if they’ve been ordered to install an ignition interlock device, which helps us qualify them for our DUI diversion program faster.”

“I was skeptical about AI handling DUI calls—until I heard a client ask, 'Can I refuse the field sobriety test?' and the AI responded with the correct legal guidance and scheduled a consultation. It’s now our go-to for urgent DUI intake. In just six weeks, we booked 18 new cases, including one from a client arrested at 1:02 AM who needed help with DUI blood draw legality and expungement for DUI eligibility. The system remembers every detail—like prior DUIs or IID requirements—so I don’t have to re-ask questions.”

“As a DUI defense attorney with 12 years of experience, I know every minute counts after an arrest. I used to spend 30 minutes a day returning calls, but now Answrr handles all after-hours and peak-hour calls. It schedules consultations, reminds clients of upcoming DUI probation check-ins, and even flags clients who need to prepare for a suppression motion. Last month, we won a case where the breathalyzer was challenged on calibration grounds—thanks to the AI capturing the client’s arrest time and officer details within 10 minutes of the call.”
