The Missed Calls Cost You Clients
After-Hours Crisis Calls Go Unanswered During High-Stakes Mediation Sessions
Mediation & Arbitration Services frequently face urgent service calls outside business hours—such as last-minute settlement negotiations, emergency restraining order follow-ups, or client distress calls during active case timelines. With 85% of callers who reach voicemail never returning, firms risk losing high-value clients in time-sensitive disputes. For example, a family law mediator missed a 9:47 PM call from a client in a custody dispute, resulting in a delayed court filing and a lost referral. These missed calls directly impact case continuity and client trust.
Staff Diverted During Mediation Sessions, Leading to Unanswered Client Inquiries
Legal professionals in Mediation & Arbitration Services are often in closed-door sessions—whether facilitating a workplace conflict resolution or managing a multi-party commercial arbitration. During these sessions, staff cannot answer phones, causing critical customer inquiries about case status, document submissions, or scheduling to go unanswered. With 62% of calls to small legal firms going unanswered, this creates a perception of unavailability and undermines credibility, especially when clients are awaiting urgent guidance.
Unsustainable Cost of Full-Time Receptionists for Sporadic Call Volumes
A small Mediation & Arbitration Services firm with 4–6 case managers may receive only 3–5 calls per week on average. Yet, hiring a full-time receptionist at $3,000–$5,000/month results in a 90% underutilization rate. This overhead is especially burdensome for boutique firms handling niche cases like intellectual property disputes or international arbitration, where call volumes are low but the stakes are high. The cost of a human receptionist often exceeds the revenue generated from a single new case.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures every potential lead, even during off-hours. For example, a mediation firm in Austin received a 10:15 PM call from a client involved in a high-conflict divorce case. The AI answered, confirmed the client’s identity, scheduled a consultation for the next morning, and sent a calendar invite with pre-session forms—all within 90 seconds. This led to a $7,500 retainer within 48 hours. Since implementation, the firm has converted 17% of after-hours calls into booked consultations, up from 2% previously.
Automated Appointment Booking
Clients can book consultations 24/7 via automated appointment booking. A commercial arbitration firm in Chicago saw a 41% increase in appointment bookings after integrating Answrr. One client called at 1:30 AM to schedule a session for a breach-of-contract dispute involving a $2.3M claim. The AI confirmed availability, synced with the firm’s calendar, and sent a confirmation with a secure document portal link. The client completed all intake forms before the next business day, accelerating case onboarding by 3.5 days.
Enterprise Security, Simple Setup
Enterprise-grade security with AES-256-GCM encryption ensures compliance with legal confidentiality standards, including HIPAA and GDPR for cross-border arbitration cases. A firm handling international mediation cases in the EU reported zero data breaches after switching to Answrr. The system integrates with their existing case management software (Clio), automatically tagging new leads with case type (e.g., ‘employment dispute,’ ‘construction contract’) and routing them to the correct mediator. Setup took just 7 minutes with no IT support required.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing clients because we couldn’t answer calls during 3-day mediation sessions. After implementing Answrr, we captured a 3:17 AM call from a client in a workplace harassment case—our AI booked a same-day session, sent intake forms, and even reminded the client of their preferred communication method (email only). That case became a $9,200 retainer. We’ve since booked 12 new cases from after-hours calls in just 6 weeks—something we never achieved before.”

Senior Mediator, Family & Workplace Dispute Resolution Firm, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“I was hesitant to use AI for legal services, but the voice is indistinguishable from a human. Last week, a client called at 11:45 PM after a failed mediation session. The AI calmly confirmed their case ID, reminded them of the next step, and scheduled a follow-up with their lead arbitrator. The client later emailed to say they felt ‘supported, not ignored.’ We’ve now converted 14% of after-hours calls into new cases—up from 3% before.”
Derek Thompson
Case Coordinator, Commercial Arbitration Practice, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“The long-term memory feature is revolutionary. When a client called back 3 days after a divorce mediation session, the AI recalled their preferred time (9 AM), their anxiety about child custody discussions, and even their request to avoid phone calls on Fridays. It felt personal, not robotic. We’ve seen a 28% increase in client satisfaction scores since using Answrr—especially in high-emotion cases where trust is critical.”
