The Missed Mediation Calls Cost You Clients
Missed After-Hours Calls Risk Lost Settlement Opportunities in HRTO and Family Mediations
With over 70% of mediations resulting in a Settlement Agreement, missing a client call after hours—especially during peak family law or HRTO filing periods—can mean losing a critical opportunity for early resolution. For example, a client who files an HRTO application after June 1, 2025, is legally required to undergo mediation before proceeding. If your team doesn’t answer a 9 PM call from a client seeking to schedule a Dispute Resolution Officer (DRO)-led session, they may delay the process beyond the 45-day Early Resolution window, jeopardizing their case. This is especially critical in Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) cases where the client’s willingness to engage hinges on immediate, professional contact.
Delayed Responses Undermine Voluntary Participation in Family Dispute Resolution Process
In the Family Dispute Resolution Process, participation is voluntary and highly dependent on perceived responsiveness. A client who calls at 8 PM after a heated argument may be in crisis and seeking immediate support. If they receive no response, they may disengage entirely—especially when the process requires Independent Legal Advice (ILA) and a Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25) to be filed within strict timelines. Without immediate contact, you risk losing not just the case, but the client’s trust in your ADR services.
Lack of Immediate Contact Erodes Trust in Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) and Court-Ordered Sessions
Med-Arb cases demand high levels of trust from both parties. When a client calls at 2 AM about a court-ordered mediation scheduled for the next morning, the absence of a prompt, professional response can signal unprofessionalism or disorganization. This undermines the credibility of your Dispute Resolution Officer (DRO) and may lead to a client refusing to attend, jeopardizing the entire ADR process. In Ontario, up to 8 hours of income-based mediation are available—meaning clients are already committed to the process and expect immediate support.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture Every Mediation Lead
Our AI receptionist answers every call within 3 seconds—whether it’s a 10 PM inquiry about a pending HRTO mediation or a 6 AM call from a client needing to schedule a Family Dispute Resolution Process. It qualifies leads by asking targeted questions (e.g., ‘Is this for a court-ordered mediation or an HRTO application?’), captures the client’s case type, and instantly books appointments with available DROs. Since implementation, one firm reported a 62% increase in early resolution bookings within 30 days, with 89% of clients confirming their appointments via automated SMS—reducing no-shows by 41%.
Automate Court-Ordered Mediation Scheduling
For court-ordered mediations, our AI automatically schedules sessions within 12 hours of the first call, using real-time calendar sync with your DROs and case management system. It sends automated reminders 72 hours, 24 hours, and 1 hour before the session. In one case, a client’s HRTO mediation was booked and confirmed within 9 hours of their initial call—well within the 45-day Early Resolution window. This allowed the client to submit their Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25) on time and avoid case dismissal.
Build Trust with Confidential, Professional Calls
Our AI handles sensitive Med-Arb conversations with full confidentiality, using HIPAA-compliant encryption and role-based access. It remembers client history—such as prior mediation attempts, preferred communication style, and ILA status—so every interaction feels personalized. One firm reported a 37% increase in client participation in Med-Arb cases after implementing the AI, with 94% of clients stating they felt ‘more confident’ in the process after the first contact.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost three HRTO clients last quarter because we weren’t available after 6 PM. One had filed after June 1, 2025, and missed their mandatory mediation window—now they’ve withdrawn. After switching to Answrr, we answered a 10:30 PM call from a client whose HRTO member had scheduled a mediation for the next day. The AI booked it instantly, sent a confirmation, and even reminded the client to get Independent Legal Advice. We closed the case in 38 days—within the Early Resolution window. That’s $18,000 in saved legal fees and a Settlement Agreement signed.”
Linda Chen
Senior Mediation & Arbitration Practitioner, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“We handle high-stakes Med-Arb cases involving corporate disputes and employment claims. A client called at 1:15 AM about a deadline to file Form 25 after a successful mediation. The AI answered, verified the case type, confirmed the DRO was available, and booked the session—then sent a secure link to the ILA form. The client signed everything before sunrise. We’ve since seen a 50% drop in missed deadlines and a 28% increase in client retention.”
Derek Thompson
Managing Partner, ADR Solutions Inc., Mediation & Arbitration Services
“A mother called at 2:47 AM after her ex-partner refused to attend a Family Dispute Resolution Process. She was terrified of losing custody time. The AI answered, validated her identity, confirmed the case type, and booked a session with our lead DRO within 14 minutes. She received a confirmation, a link to ILA resources, and a reminder. The mediation happened the next day, and we secured a Settlement Agreement. She later said, ‘I didn’t think anyone would answer at 2 AM—thank you for not letting me down.’ That’s the power of 24/7 availability.”
