The High Cost of Missed Client Calls

85%

Missed After-Hours Calls During Critical Discovery Phases or Pre-Trial Deadlines

Civil litigation firms often receive urgent calls after business hours—such as when a client needs to respond to a subpoena, file a Motion to Dismiss, or prepare for a Pre-trial conference. With 85% of callers who reach voicemail never returning, firms risk losing high-potential clients, especially those in contingency fee cases where timely engagement is crucial. A missed call during the Discovery phase could delay evidence collection, jeopardize jurisdictional arguments, or weaken settlement negotiation leverage.

62%

Delayed Responses Undermine Client Trust in High-Stakes Cases

In civil litigation, clients expect immediate attention—particularly when facing a Summary Judgment deadline or a court-ordered filing. 62% of clients expect a response within 15 minutes. When a Plaintiff calls at 9:30 PM to report a sudden change in venue or a new witness, and the firm doesn’t respond until the next morning, the perception of unresponsiveness can erode trust and lead to client attrition, especially in complex cases involving multiple parties and tight timelines.

Competitors Capture Clients During After-Hours Gaps

A civil litigation firm in a competitive jurisdiction—like Los Angeles or Chicago—faces intense competition. When a Defendant’s attorney calls at 10 PM to discuss a potential settlement negotiation, and your firm’s voicemail goes unanswered, the client may immediately contact a rival firm with 24/7 availability. Research shows 43% of civil litigation firms lose clients due to unreturned calls, particularly in high-value personal injury or commercial litigation matters where timing is everything.

Why Civil Litigation Firms Choose Answrr

Capture More Clients After Hours

Our AI receptionist answers every after-hours call within 15 seconds, qualifying leads by asking about case type (e.g., personal injury, breach of contract), jurisdiction, and whether a Motion to Dismiss or Summary Judgment is pending. In one firm, this led to 12 new contingency fee cases captured in the first 60 days—7 of which were referred directly from after-hours calls during discovery windows.

Book Appointments in Real Time

Clients can book consultations 24/7 through seamless integration with Calendly and GoHighLevel. For example, a client in a multi-district litigation case called at 11:15 PM to schedule a consultation before a critical pre-trial conference. The AI instantly booked a 30-minute slot the next day, and the firm secured the case—resulting in a $250K contingency fee agreement.

With 24/7 availability, your firm appears as a responsive, professional partner—critical during high-pressure moments like filing a response to a Motion to Dismiss.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We lost three potential clients in one month because we couldn’t answer calls after 6 PM—especially during the Discovery phase when clients needed urgent help with depositions. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured 14 new cases from after-hours calls, including a $1.2M commercial breach of contract case that was initiated at 8:45 PM. The AI even asked about the venue and jurisdiction, which helped us qualify the lead instantly.

Managing Partner, Reynolds & Shaw LLP – Commercial Litigation Firm, Civil Litigation Firms

I was skeptical about AI handling calls for a firm that handles high-stakes personal injury cases with contingency fee structures. But the AI’s script includes questions about injury type, timeline, and whether a settlement negotiation is already underway. In just three months, we booked 19 new consultations from after-hours calls—two of which led to cases filed within 48 hours of the initial contact.

Lead Attorney, Chen & Associates – Personal Injury Litigation, Civil Litigation Firms

We’re a small firm with no after-hours staff, but we can’t afford to miss leads during critical windows—like when a Plaintiff needs to file a response to a Motion to Dismiss before a 5 PM deadline. The AI receptionist now handles all after-hours calls, books appointments via Calendly, and even flags urgent cases with a red alert. In the past quarter, we’ve seen a 41% increase in new case intake, all from calls made after hours.
