The Cost of Missing Emergency Criminal Defense Calls
Missed After-Hours Calls During Critical Criminal Case Moments
During late-night arrests or weekend detentions, 60% of calls from individuals facing felony defense or misdemeanor defense charges go unanswered. For a client arrested at 1:30 AM on a DUI charge, a delayed response can mean missing the crucial 48-hour window to file for a bail hearing. Without immediate contact, firms lose high-intent leads who are already in custody and desperate for arrest defense representation—especially when every minute counts in criminal procedure.
Delayed Responses Undermine Client Trust in High-Stakes Criminal Law Situations
When a client calls after being arrested on a violent felony charge and is met with voicemail, 80% never call back—especially if they’re anxious about their court date, bond amount, or potential jail time. This delay erodes trust during the critical client intake phase, where prompt engagement is essential for securing post-arrest representation and preventing case deterioration due to missed deadlines in criminal law.
Burnout from Managing 24/7 Client Intake Without Support
Solo criminal defense attorneys and small firm partners often handle all client calls themselves, leading to exhaustion. With 35% of calls going unanswered due to scheduling conflicts or emergencies, attorneys miss vital opportunities to secure new cases—particularly during peak hours like 5–9 PM, when individuals post-arrest are most likely to seek legal help. This strain impacts both case quality and long-term practice sustainability.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“I was in court on a federal drug trafficking case when a client called at 1:15 AM after being arrested in Miami. Answrr answered instantly, collected their full details—including the charge, booking number, and bond amount—and booked a same-day consultation. I got to the jail within 3 hours and secured release. That case was worth over $85,000. I can’t imagine losing that because of a voicemail.”

“Before Answrr, I missed 40% of calls during peak hours—especially on Fridays and weekends when DUI arrests spike. Now, every inquiry from someone needing immediate post-arrest representation is captured, qualified, and scheduled. My conversion rate has tripled, and I’ve secured three felony defense cases from after-hours calls in just the last two months.”
James Reed
Solo Attorney, Reed Legal Defense Group, Criminal Defense Attorneys
“As a small firm handling mostly misdemeanor defense and repeat DUI cases, we couldn’t afford a full-time staff. Answrr handles all after-hours calls with a natural voice that remembers past client details—like prior DUIs or court dates. It even flags high-risk clients (e.g., those with warrants) so we can prioritize them. We’ve seen a 300% increase in client intake since implementation.”
