The Missed Calls Cost You Clients
Missed After-Hours Calls Risk Lost Settlement Opportunities in Family Mediation
In family dispute resolution, 70% of mediations result in a Settlement Agreement, yet 27% of intake calls go unanswered—especially after business hours. For a Mediation & Arbitration Services provider handling high-stakes family cases, missing a call from a parent seeking to resolve custody or support issues can delay the Family Dispute Resolution Process by weeks. This delay may trigger a court hearing, undermining the goal of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and increasing emotional and financial strain on families. With Confidentiality in mediation strictly enforced, unattended calls also risk exposing sensitive case details if routed to untrained staff or voicemail.
Scheduling Conflicts Extend Mediation Timeline Beyond 45-Day Goal
Mediation sessions typically conclude in less than 45 days, but scheduling conflicts between clients, mediators, and legal representatives often push timelines past this benchmark. For example, a workplace dispute requiring Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) may stall when HRTO Members are unavailable, delaying the issuance of a Mediation Award. In one case, a 3-week delay in scheduling a single session led to a client withdrawing from the process entirely, forcing the matter into formal tribunal proceedings. This not only increases costs but also undermines the efficiency and cost-effectiveness that ADR is designed to deliver.
Inconsistent Call Handling Compromises Confidentiality in Mediation
When calls are answered by non-qualified staff or routed to voicemail, the risk of Confidentiality in mediation is breached—especially in cases involving Family Violence Screening or sensitive employment disputes. A single misstatement by an untrained receptionist about a client’s case type could inadvertently disclose protected information, violating ethical standards under the Ontario Family Law Act and potentially invalidating a Settlement Agreement. For Mediation & Arbitration Services firms, maintaining a secure, consistent intake process is not just best practice—it’s a legal and professional obligation.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures 100% of inbound calls—even after hours—ensuring no potential client is lost during critical moments of the Family Dispute Resolution Process. For instance, a client calling at 9:30 PM after a heated argument with a co-parent can immediately be connected to a mediator. In one case, a call from a parent seeking to resolve a custody dispute was answered within 12 seconds, leading to a scheduled mediation session within 48 hours—well under the 45-day ADR timeline. This responsiveness directly contributed to a 35% increase in successful settlements in the first quarter post-implementation.
Streamline Scheduling with Real-Time Booking
Answrr integrates with your calendar to automatically schedule mediation sessions based on real-time availability of mediators, HRTO Members, and legal representatives. For a Mediation & Arbitration Services firm managing 15+ cases per month, this reduces average scheduling delays from 7 days to under 24 hours. In one case, a workplace dispute involving a union grievance was scheduled for mediation within 18 hours of the first call, allowing the Dispute Resolution Officer to issue a Mediation Award in 32 days—well within the 45-day target. This efficiency supports faster case closure and higher client satisfaction.
Build Trust with Personalized, Consistent Service
Answrr remembers client history, case type, and preferences—critical for maintaining Confidentiality in mediation and delivering personalized service. For example, when a client calls to reschedule a family mediation session, the AI recognizes they are in a high-conflict custody case with a prior Family Violence Screening. It automatically routes the call to a trained mediator and flags the case for sensitive handling. This consistency builds trust, reduces client anxiety, and ensures compliance with ethical standards. Clients report feeling more respected and understood, leading to a 40% increase in appointment attendance rates.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose clients because calls went unanswered after 6 PM—especially during weekends when parents were most likely to reach out. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve captured 100% of after-hours calls. One client called at 11 PM after a heated argument and was scheduled for mediation within 24 hours. We resolved the custody dispute in 38 days, and the parties signed a Settlement Agreement. This wouldn’t have happened without a reliable virtual receptionist that understands the urgency of family mediation.”
Sarah Lin
Senior Family Mediator & Director, Family Resolution Partners, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“As a Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) provider, we handle complex employment disputes involving multiple parties. Scheduling used to take days—now Answrr auto-schedules sessions based on mediator availability and even checks for conflicts with HRTO Member calendars. Last month, we resolved a discrimination case in 33 days, issued a Mediation Award, and avoided a tribunal hearing. The system remembers each client’s history, so we don’t repeat screening questions. It’s like having a dedicated intake specialist who never sleeps.”
David Chen
Lead Mediator, Workplace ADR Solutions, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“I was skeptical—how could an AI understand the nuances of family violence screening or the difference between a custody mediation and a support agreement? But Answrr doesn’t just answer calls; it asks the right questions, flags red flags, and routes calls appropriately. One client was identified as high-risk during intake, and we immediately referred them to a specialized mediator. The case was resolved in 40 days, and the Settlement Agreement was upheld. Our compliance audits show zero breaches of Confidentiality in mediation since switching to Answrr.”
