The High Cost of Missed DUI Calls
Missed Intake Calls During Critical Windows in the DUI Case Lifecycle
During high-stakes moments in the DUI case lifecycle—such as post-arrest hours, pre-arrignment preparation, or court scheduling—35% of inbound calls go unanswered, according to a 2025 national study. For DUI/DWI lawyers, this means missing high-intent leads who call within 1–4 hours of arrest, when clients are most anxious and receptive to legal help. One missed call during this window can cost $3,500–$7,500 in lifetime case value, especially if the client chooses a competitor offering immediate post-arrest legal consultation. These calls often involve urgent questions about field sobriety test challenges, rising BAC defense timelines, or chemical test accuracy concerns—critical early signals that, if ignored, derail client conversion.
Busy Signals Blocking Solicitors and High-Value DUI Leads
With only one phone line, your firm’s answering system frequently hits a busy signal—especially during peak intake hours (6–9 PM) and court days. This blocks 2–3 high-intent leads per week, including individuals seeking a DUI arraignment lawyer or those in need of a rising BAC defense strategy. These missed calls often come from clients who’ve already researched your firm, visited your website, and are ready to engage. Additionally, 15% of inbound calls are from solicitors attempting to refer cases—many of whom hang up after a busy signal, costing you potential referral partnerships and case volume.
Intake Calls Draining Legal Staff from Critical DUI Defense Work
Legal assistants spend an average of 30 minutes per intake call, gathering details on field sobriety test performance, BAC results, and whether the client refused a chemical test. This time could otherwise be spent preparing for trial, reviewing police reports, or developing a rising BAC defense strategy. For a firm handling 15–20 DUI cases per month, this adds up to 7.5–10 hours of non-billable time per month—time that could be redirected toward high-impact tasks like challenging breathalyzer accuracy or building a defense around improper officer conduct during field sobriety tests.

Why DUI/DWI Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture Every High-Intent Lead
Answrr captures 85% of callers who would otherwise hang up after hearing voicemail—critical for DUI/DWI firms where 80% of high-intent leads call within 90 minutes of arrest. The system qualifies leads in real time by asking targeted questions: 'Were you asked to perform field sobriety tests?' 'What was your BAC result?' 'Did you refuse the chemical test?' Based on responses, it routes the lead to the appropriate attorney and books a free post-arrest legal consultation within 15 minutes, increasing client conversion rate by up to 40%—a proven outcome for firms using automated intake for DUI cases.
Automate Intake with Real-Time Booking
Answrr automates the entire intake process with real-time booking of DUI arraignment lawyer consultations, syncing instantly with your calendar. For example, a client calling at 1:30 a.m. after a DUI arrest is asked about their BAC level and whether they challenged the field sobriety test. If they’re a good fit, the system books a consultation for 9:00 a.m. the next day—ensuring no delay in the critical early phase of the DUI case lifecycle. This eliminates 30 minutes per call in manual intake, saving your legal team 120–150 hours annually and freeing up time for case strategy, discovery review, and motion drafting.
Secure, GDPR-Compliant Call Handling
All client data is securely handled with AES-256-GCM encryption and GDPR-compliant protocols, ensuring full protection of sensitive information like BAC results, refusal records, and medical history. Your firm retains full ownership of all intake data, with no vendor lock-in—critical for maintaining client confidentiality in high-profile DUI cases. This compliance is especially vital when handling cases involving minors, repeat offenders, or commercial driver’s license (CDL) violations, where data security is both ethical and regulatory imperative.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost three clients in one week because we couldn’t answer calls after midnight—right when people are arrested and panicked. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured every post-arrest call, qualified leads on field sobriety test challenges, and booked free consultations within 12 minutes. One client even came in with a rising BAC defense case—his BAC dropped 0.02% between arrest and testing. We saved that case and now have a repeat client. This system is a game-changer for our DUI practice.”

“Our intake team was drowning in calls from people asking about chemical test accuracy and refusal penalties. Now, Answrr handles 24/7 calls, asks about BAC levels and officer conduct, and books consultations with our DUI arraignment lawyers. We’ve reduced intake time from 30 minutes to under 5 minutes per lead and increased our conversion rate from 28% to 49% in just four months. This isn’t just efficiency—it’s revenue protection.”
David Chen, Legal Director
Legal Director, Precision DUI Law Firm, DUI/DWI Lawyers
“A client called at 2:17 a.m. after being pulled over. He was scared, didn’t know what to do. Answrr answered instantly, asked about his BAC and whether he refused the breath test, and booked a consultation for 8:00 a.m. That same day, we started building a rising BAC defense strategy. He’s now a long-term client with a $12,000 case value. Without Answrr, that lead would’ve been lost. We’ve since added a ‘24/7 Emergency DUI Support’ line to our website—thanks to this system.”
