The Missed Case Inquiries Cost You Clients
Missed After-Hours Inquiries in High-Stakes Disputes
Mediation and arbitration professionals often miss critical case inquiries after business hours—especially during weekends or late evenings—when clients are seeking urgent resolution for family law disputes, workplace conflicts, or commercial contract disagreements. According to industry data, 27% of inbound calls to mediation firms go unanswered, and in high-pressure scenarios like divorce mediation or construction lien disputes, a delayed response can cause clients to disengage or seek faster alternatives. For example, a client facing a 30-day deadline for a binding arbitration submission may abandon a firm if they can’t reach someone within 24 hours.
Inability to Handle Peak Case Volume During Hearing Schedules
During peak seasons—such as the start of the fiscal year or post-litigation settlement windows—mediation and arbitration teams are frequently in back-to-back sessions, making it impossible to answer every incoming call. With 85% of callers who leave voicemail never returning, firms risk losing high-intent leads, especially from corporate clients seeking expedited conflict resolution. A typical mediation firm handling 15+ active cases per month may lose 2–3 potential new clients monthly due to unreturned calls, directly impacting revenue and case pipeline growth.
Manual Intake Delays Case Initiation in Time-Sensitive Matters
Without automated intake, the manual process of collecting client information—such as dispute type (e.g., employment discrimination, partnership dissolution, or landlord-tenant conflict), preferred mediation format (in-person, virtual, or hybrid), and availability—can take 48–72 hours. In arbitration cases with strict procedural timelines, such delays can jeopardize filing deadlines or result in missed opportunities to secure a neutral arbitrator. Each missed lead costs an average of $250–$300 in lost lifetime value, particularly for firms that charge $1,500–$5,000 per mediation session.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture Every Case Inquiry
An AI phone agent captures every inquiry 24/7, including urgent calls during holidays or after business hours—critical for clients in family law mediations with custody deadlines or commercial disputes requiring immediate intervention. For example, a client calling at 9:30 PM on a Friday to initiate a pre-arbitration mediation for a breach of contract can be instantly routed, have their case type identified, and receive a consultation booking within 7 minutes—without waiting until Monday.
Automate Case Intake
The AI automates intake by asking targeted questions—such as 'Is this a family law, commercial, or employment-related dispute?' and 'Do you require a virtual or in-person mediation?'—then checks real-time calendar availability across multiple mediators. It can book a consultation within 5 minutes, even during a 3-hour mediation session. One firm reported a 70% increase in scheduled consultations within the first 30 days of implementation, with 42% of new cases originating from after-hours calls.
Professional, Trustworthy Voice
Rime Arcana’s voice technology delivers a calm, professional tone with natural cadence—critical in high-emotion cases like divorce mediation or workplace harassment disputes. The AI uses context-aware language, such as saying, 'I understand this is a sensitive matter. I’ll connect you with a certified family law mediator who specializes in collaborative divorce.' This builds immediate trust and reduces client anxiety, especially when calling late at night.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing 3–4 high-value commercial clients per quarter because we couldn’t answer calls after 6 PM. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve captured 12 new arbitration cases in just two months—most from after-hours inquiries. One client was in the middle of a construction dispute with a 14-day arbitration deadline, and our AI booked them a session within 20 minutes. They’re now a repeat client for three consecutive projects.”
Linda Chen
Managing Partner, ResolvePoint Dispute Resolution, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“The AI remembers client history—like when a client previously used our virtual mediation platform or preferred a female mediator for family law cases. It even flags urgent matters, such as a client mentioning 'immediate custody concern,' and routes them to the on-call mediator. Clients have said, 'It’s like having a dedicated case coordinator,' which has boosted our retention rate by 35%.”
Derek Thompson
Lead Arbitrator & Operations Director, SummitMediate Group, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“I run a solo mediation practice and didn’t have the bandwidth to manage calls. Answrr asked me about my services—like whether I handle NLRB-related labor disputes or small claims arbitration—and built my AI agent in 8 minutes. Now, I’ve booked 17 new consultations in the last 45 days, including two multi-party commercial mediations that would’ve been lost before.”
