The Missed Mediation Calls Cost You Clients
Missed After-Hours Calls Risk Lost Settlement Opportunities in Family Mediation Cases
In family law mediation, where over 70% of cases reach a Settlement Agreement, a single unanswered call after 6 PM can derail a client’s decision to proceed. For example, a parent seeking to resolve custody and support issues may call at 9:30 PM after a long day, only to be met with voicemail. Without immediate engagement, they may disengage entirely—especially since mediation is voluntary and trust is paramount. This is particularly critical when parties are navigating Family Violence Screening protocols, where timely response can prevent escalation and ensure safety.
Delayed Responses Undermine Confidence in ADR Timelines and Legal Credibility
Clients engaging in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) expect swift action—especially when they’re required to file a Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25) within 14 days of mediation. A 48-hour delay in response can cause clients to question the legitimacy of the process, leading to missed deadlines and potential court referrals. In Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) cases, where parties transition from negotiation to binding decision-making, even a 24-hour lag can erode confidence in the Neutral Facilitator’s professionalism and commitment to efficiency.
Robotic or Absent Responses Break Trust in Voluntary ADR Processes
Since participation in mediation is voluntary, the first interaction sets the tone for the entire dispute resolution journey. A cold, automated greeting or unanswered call can signal disorganization, especially in sensitive cases involving Family Arbitration Award negotiations or Independent Legal Advice (ILA) coordination. For instance, a client undergoing a Dispute Resolution Officer (DRO)-led mediation for a property division dispute may abandon the process if they feel their concerns aren’t acknowledged—particularly when they’ve already completed a Family Violence Screening and are emotionally invested in a resolution.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures 98% of after-hours calls—critical in Mediation & Arbitration Services where 27% of calls go unanswered. For example, a client calling at 11 PM to schedule a mediation session involving child access arrangements receives an immediate, personalized response. The AI confirms their availability, checks for prior case history, and schedules the appointment with real-time calendar sync—ensuring they meet the 45-day ADR timeline and avoid court escalation.
Book Mediations Faster Than Ever
With Answrr, mediations are booked an average of 3.2 days faster. A Dispute Resolution Officer (DRO) at a community ADR center reduced consultation wait times from 10 days to 3.5 days by using AI to auto-schedule sessions. This enables clients to meet the 14-day deadline for submitting Form 25 and ensures timely execution of Settlement Agreements, especially in Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) cases where arbitration clauses are time-sensitive.
Build Trust with Professional First Impressions
Answrr delivers a warm, natural voice that mirrors the tone of a trained Neutral Facilitator, reinforcing trust from the first interaction. In a recent case, a client undergoing Family Arbitration Award proceedings called at 8 PM after a stressful day. The AI acknowledged their emotional state, confirmed the confidentiality of the process, and offered a callback with a licensed mediator—leading to a 90% conversion rate from inquiry to scheduled session.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We handle high-conflict family disputes involving child custody and spousal support. Last month, a client called at 10:45 PM after a heated argument with their ex-partner. Answrr answered immediately, guided them through a brief Family Violence Screening, and scheduled a mediation session with our lead DRO within 90 minutes. The case settled in 28 days—well under the 45-day ADR window—and we secured a binding Family Arbitration Award. Without Answrr, that client might have walked away.”

Lead Dispute Resolution Officer, Family Mediation & Arbitration Centre, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“As a mediator specializing in workplace discrimination cases, I’ve seen how delays impact trust. One client called at 7:30 PM after a traumatic incident. Answrr not only answered but asked if they needed Immediate Support Resources and scheduled a confidential session with a trained Neutral Facilitator. They signed the Settlement Agreement within 3 weeks—thanks to the seamless, timely response. This is exactly why we use Answrr for all our intake.”
