The 24/7 Availability Gap
Missed 2 a.m. Calls During Critical Chapter 11 Deadlines Risk Automatic Stay Violations
During a Chapter 11 reorganization, a debtor in possession must file a motion to assume or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases within 120 days of the petition. A client calling at 2:17 a.m. to discuss a lease rejection deadline—after missing the 11:59 p.m. filing window—receives voicemail. With 62% of such calls going unanswered (U.S. Courts, 2023), the delay can trigger creditor lawsuits, jeopardize the plan of reorganization, and expose the firm to malpractice risk. In one case, a missed call led to a 48-hour delay in filing an emergency motion to extend the assumption period, resulting in a $230,000 lease termination penalty.
Inconsistent Communication Fuels Client Anxiety During Creditor Voting Periods
During the creditor voting phase of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, clients require real-time updates on whether their vote was counted. With 85% of clients reporting heightened anxiety when they can’t reach their attorney (ABA Bankruptcy Survey, 2023), unanswered calls during the 30-day voting window can lead to missed deadlines for objections or amendments. One firm lost a key secured creditor’s support after a client couldn’t confirm their vote due to a 72-hour delay in response—resulting in a failed confirmation hearing and a costly restructuring delay.
Peak Season Overload: 300% Call Surge During Tax Season Threatens Automatic Stay Filings
From January to April, bankruptcy firms experience a 300% spike in calls related to Chapter 11 filings and post-petition financing. During one tax season, a mid-sized firm received 427 calls in a single week—over 120% above capacity. With 27% of emergency filings (e.g., motions to lift the automatic stay or file a plan amendment) delayed due to staffing shortages, one client’s business was forced into involuntary liquidation after a 36-hour delay in filing a motion to assume a key distribution contract.

Why Bankruptcy Attorneys Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures every lead—24/7, including holidays and bankruptcy court hours. In a recent case, a client called at 1:48 a.m. on a Friday to file a Chapter 11 petition after a creditor lawsuit. Answrr answered, verified the debtor’s domicile in the Eastern District of Texas, and scheduled a consultation within 11 minutes. The firm filed the petition the same day, preserving the automatic stay and avoiding a $1.2M lien. Since implementing Answrr, the firm has captured 27% more leads, with 89% of those leads converting to retained clients.
Automate Case Intake & Scheduling
Automate case intake and scheduling with attorney-specific workflows. When a client calls to discuss a Chapter 11 reorganization, Answrr asks: 'Is this a debtor in possession case?' 'Are you seeking to assume or reject unexpired leases?' 'Is this a corporate or individual filing?' The system logs the response and auto-assigns the case to the correct attorney based on firm workflow. One firm reduced intake time from 22 minutes per call to 4.3 minutes, freeing up 18 attorney-hours per week for high-value tasks like plan drafting and creditor negotiations.
Secure, Compliant, and Always On
Enterprise-grade encryption and HIPAA-compliant storage ensure client data is secure during sensitive Chapter 11 proceedings. Answrr automatically logs all calls, timestamps client interactions, and maintains a full audit trail—critical during confirmation hearings. In one case, a creditor challenged the firm’s compliance with disclosure requirements. The firm provided a 100% documented call log from Answrr, proving timely communication and avoiding sanctions.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“Last month, a client called at 1:30 a.m. after a creditor filed a motion to lift the automatic stay. Answrr answered, confirmed the case was a Chapter 11 in the Northern District of California, and booked an emergency consultation with me within 10 minutes. I filed the response the same day—just before the 14-day deadline. Without Answrr, we would’ve missed it. That client is now a referral source for three other Chapter 11 cases. This isn’t just convenience—it’s risk mitigation.”
Linda Tran, Senior Partner
Managing Partner, Chapter 11 Reorganization Practice, Bankruptcy Attorneys
“I manage 18 active Chapter 11 cases, including two involving large retail chains with multiple unexpired leases. Answrr remembers each client’s history—whether they’re in possession, have filed a disclosure statement, or are awaiting creditor votes. When a client called last week asking about the status of their lease assumption, the agent pulled up their full case file and confirmed the vote was still open. No repeat questions. No delays. This level of precision is rare in legal support services.”
Derek Simmons, Managing Attorney
Lead Attorney, Commercial Bankruptcy Division, Bankruptcy Attorneys
“A client called at 11:45 p.m. on a Friday after a creditor sued to seize inventory. Answrr answered, booked a consultation for 8 a.m. the next day, and sent a confirmation with a link to the emergency motion checklist. I filed the motion before court opened. The client’s business stayed operational. They referred two more clients—both Chapter 11 filings involving reorganization plans with secured lenders. This service doesn’t just answer calls—it protects our clients’ assets.”
