The Cost of Missing DUI Intake Calls
Missed After-Hours DUI Calls During Critical 3–6 AM Window
DUI/DWI clients are often arrested between 11 PM and 3 AM, with 68% of initial calls coming within the first 2 hours post-arrest. Yet 35% of these urgent calls go unanswered during business hours due to staff overload, especially when attorneys are in court or preparing for a probable cause challenge hearing. This delay can cost a client their chance to contest an administrative license suspension (ALS) within the 15-day window, jeopardizing their ability to drive while awaiting trial. Without immediate intervention, clients may lose eligibility for a diversion program or fail to secure a favorable DUI plea bargain.
Voicemails Overwhelm Intake Teams, Especially for Rising BAC Defense Cases
After-hours calls—commonly from clients who’ve just taken a preliminary breath test (PBT) and are anxious about chemical test accuracy—land in voicemail. With 85% of callers never returning, firms miss critical opportunities to collect evidence like the timing of the PBT, whether the officer followed proper protocol, or if the suspect’s BAC was rising due to post-accident alcohol absorption. These details are essential for a rising BAC defense, and without them, the case loses strategic leverage before it even begins.
Attorneys Spend 25–30 Minutes Per Call on Non-Strategic Intake Tasks
A typical DUI intake call lasts 28 minutes—time spent by a senior attorney or paralegal gathering basic info like arrest location, whether a field sobriety test (FST) was administered, and if the suspect refused the chemical test. This time could otherwise be spent preparing for a per se DUI defense, negotiating a DUI case dismissal, or building a motion to suppress evidence based on improper probable cause. For a firm handling 150 DUI cases annually, this adds up to over 70 hours of lost billable time—equivalent to nearly two full-time staff members.

Why DUI/DWI Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture Every Urgent DUI Call
Our AI receptionist captures 100% of after-hours calls—especially urgent inquiries about ALS timelines, PBT results, or whether a client qualifies for a diversion program. For example, a client calling at 2:47 AM after a DUI arrest receives immediate assistance: the AI asks if they were asked to perform FSTs, whether they refused the chemical test, and if they’ve already consulted an attorney. Within 90 seconds, the system books a consultation with a DUI attorney experienced in challenging chemical test accuracy, ensuring the client doesn’t miss the 15-day ALS hearing deadline.
Reduce Lost Case Value
By automating intake calls, a mid-sized DUI/DWI firm in Phoenix reported a 42% increase in new client conversions within 60 days. The AI receptionist now handles 80% of after-hours inquiries, including questions about per se DUI thresholds, BAC levels at the time of driving, and the impact of refusal on sentencing. Attorneys now spend 12+ hours per week on high-value tasks like drafting motions to suppress FST results or preparing for a DUI case dismissal hearing—directly improving case outcomes.
Free Up Attorneys for High-Value Work
Our system integrates with case management platforms to auto-populate intake forms with key DUI-specific data: whether the suspect was cited for a DUI with a child in the car, if the BAC was over 0.15%, or if they’re a repeat offender. This allows attorneys to immediately assess case strength and prioritize high-value clients—such as those with a strong probable cause challenge or those eligible for a first-time offender diversion program—within minutes of the call.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose 40% of after-hours calls—especially from clients who’d just been arrested and were panicking. Now, our AI receptionist answers at 1:18 AM, asks about the field sobriety test they performed, whether they refused the breathalyzer, and books a consultation with our lead attorney within 3 minutes. One client called at 2:30 AM after a DUI arrest in Scottsdale. The AI captured the refusal, and we secured a motion to suppress the chemical test result—leading to a case dismissal. That’s $6,500 in lost case value recovered in one call.”

Managing Partner, Arizona DUI Defense Group, DUI/DWI Lawyers
“Our firm handles over 200 DUI cases a year. Before switching to AI, we missed 30% of calls from clients who needed help with a rising BAC defense—especially those arrested after drinking at a late-night event. Now, our AI asks if the client consumed alcohol after the accident, whether they were tested 45 minutes later, and if they’re eligible for a diversion program. We’ve reduced missed leads by 92% and now convert 68% of after-hours callers into paying clients—up from 21%.”
David Reed
Founder & Lead DUI Attorney, Texas Coastal Defense, DUI/DWI Lawyers
“We lost clients to competitors who answered faster. Now, every call—whether it’s a 3 a.m. inquiry about a PBT or a request for a free consultation on a per se DUI—gets answered instantly. The AI even handles license reinstatement questions and diversion program eligibility checks. One client called at 1:45 AM after a DUI in San Antonio. The AI booked a consultation, and we secured a plea bargain with a 6-month probation and no jail time. That client referred three others. We’ve increased our intake volume by 55% in just 4 months.”
