The Critical Problem for Bankruptcy Attorneys
Missed Emergency Calls from Clients Facing Creditor Harassment During Chapter 13 Filings
With 62% of calls going unanswered during peak crisis hours, distressed clients seeking immediate relief from creditor claims—especially those in the middle of a Chapter 13 repayment plan or preparing for a trustee meeting—hang up and contact competitors. One client in Dallas, facing a wage garnishment notice just days before their scheduled creditor meeting, called at 1:47 a.m. on a Sunday and was left on voicemail. By the time the office opened, they had already signed with a rival firm offering same-day consultation. This is not an isolated case—over 12,000 Chapter 13 filers in Texas alone faced similar delays in 2024 due to after-hours unavailability.
Inability to Respond to Business Bankruptcy Inquiries During Critical 72-Hour Window
Business bankruptcy filings rose 22.1% year-over-year, with many small business owners needing immediate legal guidance on filing a Chapter 7 petition or preserving assets under an automatic stay. Yet, 78% of business owners who call outside business hours—often during a cash flow crisis or IRS audit—receive no response. One client in Phoenix, whose business was days from closure due to unpaid priority debts, called at 10:30 p.m. on a Friday and was never contacted. By Monday, they had already filed without legal counsel, resulting in a higher risk of asset loss and non-dischargeable debt exposure.
Overwhelmed Intake Process During High-Volume Filing Seasons (e.g., Q4 and Q1)
During the 12-week period from October to January, bankruptcy filings spike by 38% compared to the annual average. Without a dedicated system, intake teams are inundated with calls from clients seeking help with means test eligibility, dischargeable debts, and automatic stay protections. In one firm in Chicago, 85% of callers who left voicemails during the December filing surge never returned—missing out on 42 potential Chapter 7 and 29 Chapter 13 cases. This loss is compounded by the fact that many clients are only eligible for Chapter 13 if they file within 30 days of a creditor’s threat, making timely response critical.

Why Bankruptcy Attorneys Choose Answrr
Capture More Clients After Hours
Respond to after-hours calls from clients in crisis—such as those receiving a notice of foreclosure or wage garnishment—within 12 seconds. The AI guides them through a 3-step intake: confirms if they’re filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, verifies if they have priority debts (like child support), and schedules a consultation with a qualified attorney. In one case, a client in Atlanta called at 2:15 a.m. after a creditor threatened to repossess their vehicle. The AI booked a same-day consultation, which led to a successful automatic stay being filed before the repossession could occur.
Automate Appointment Booking
Automatically schedule consultations for Chapter 13 clients needing means test reviews or those preparing for a trustee meeting. The AI asks targeted questions—such as ‘Do you have any non-dischargeable debts like student loans or recent tax liabilities?’—and routes high-risk cases to senior attorneys. One firm in Denver reduced their average consultation booking time from 48 hours to 8 minutes, resulting in 31 new Chapter 13 cases booked in just 10 days during the January filing surge.
Build Trust with Consistent, Personalized Service
Build trust by enabling the AI to recall past client interactions—such as previous concerns about dischargeable debts, missed payments, or creditor claims. When a client calls back after a 3-week gap, the AI says, ‘I remember you were worried about your mortgage debt being non-dischargeable. Would you like to update your repayment plan or discuss a Chapter 13 modification?’ This personalization led to a 40% increase in follow-up appointments among repeat callers in one firm in San Antonio.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost two clients in one week because we couldn’t answer calls at night. One was a single mother in Houston trying to file Chapter 7 to stop a foreclosure. She called at 1:12 a.m. after her lender threatened to file a lawsuit. The AI answered, asked about her dischargeable debts and whether she had filed a bankruptcy petition before, and booked her a consultation with a senior attorney within 15 minutes. She’s now in the process of filing, and she told us, ‘You were the only firm that answered when I needed help most.’”

“After implementing the AI, we booked 14 new Chapter 7 consultations in just one week—all from after-hours calls. One client called at 2:30 a.m. after a creditor threatened to sue over a $12,000 medical debt. The AI asked if the debt was dischargeable, confirmed it was not a priority debt, and scheduled a consultation. That client filed the petition within 48 hours and received an automatic stay. We’ve since seen a 35% increase in after-hours conversion rates.”

Lead Attorney, Thompson & Associates, Phoenix, Bankruptcy Attorneys
“Our clients are stressed and overwhelmed. The AI remembers their last conversation—like when a client called about a trustee meeting and was worried about their income verification. When they called back two weeks later, the AI said, ‘You mentioned your last paycheck was $3,200. Would you like to update your means test with your new pay stub?’ That level of continuity made a huge difference. We’ve had three clients say they’d refer us just because the AI ‘knew what we were going through.’”
