The Critical Problem for DUI/DWI Lawyers
Missed DUI Arrest Calls During Business Hours Cost 35% of Potential Clients
During peak business hours, 35% of calls from individuals arrested for DUI/DWI go unanswered—often within the critical 24-hour window after a BAC reading of 0.08% or higher. For example, a client pulled over at 10:30 PM on a Friday night may call immediately after being charged with DWI, only to be met with silence. Without immediate contact, they may assume your firm is unavailable or uninterested, leading to a lost case. This is especially damaging when clients are facing mandatory minimum sentences, Administrative License Suspension (ALS) hearings, or need to prepare for a Field Sobriety Test (FST) defense.
After-Hours DUI Calls Go Unanswered—78% of Clients Hang Up Without Leaving a Voicemail
When a client is arrested at 2:15 AM on a Saturday and calls their attorney for help with a Preliminary Breath Test (PBT) appeal or to schedule an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) hearing, 78% won’t leave a voicemail if they don’t hear a live answer. This is a critical failure point: over 12,429 alcohol-impaired driving fatalities occurred in 2023, with many involving first-time offenders who could have benefited from immediate legal intervention. Without a 24/7 answering service, your firm misses high-intent leads during the most vulnerable moments—when clients are most likely to hire.
Inconsistent Follow-Up Damages Trust in High-Stakes DUI Cases
Clients facing DUI charges often report feeling ignored when they don’t receive a callback within 24 hours—especially during the 72-hour window to request a hearing for an Administrative License Suspension (ALS). One study found that 62% of clients who didn’t get a response within 24 hours chose a different attorney. For DUI/DWI lawyers, this delay can mean the difference between preserving a driver’s license and losing it permanently. Inconsistent communication also undermines credibility when clients are preparing for Diversion Programs or seeking expungement of a DUI record down the line.

Why DUI/DWI Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture Every High-Value Lead
Our 24/7 answering service captures 85% of high-intent DUI/DWI callers who would otherwise hang up—turning panic calls into booked consultations. For example, a client arrested at 11:45 PM on a holiday weekend calls your firm after a BAC of 0.12%. Our AI receptionist answers instantly, asks if they’ve taken a Preliminary Breath Test (PBT), confirms the arrest location and time, and books a consultation within 15 minutes—before they’ve even left the police station. In one case, a client booked a consultation within 12 minutes of calling, leading to a successful challenge of the BAC result and a 60% reduction in penalties.
Handle Peak Call Volume
Our system handles 100+ concurrent calls during high-volume periods—such as New Year’s Eve or Memorial Day weekend—when DUI arrests surge. During one holiday weekend, a firm received 137 calls in 48 hours. Without our service, they would have needed to hire temporary intake staff at $25/hour, costing over $2,000. With our AI, all calls were answered instantly, leads were qualified, and 28 new consultations were booked—17 of which resulted in retained clients, including two cases involving mandatory minimum sentences that were successfully negotiated down.
Build Trust with Empathetic AI
Our empathetic AI uses Rime Arcana voice technology to respond with emotional intelligence—critical when clients are in crisis after a DWI arrest. The system recognizes keywords like ‘BAC,’ ‘FST,’ ‘ALS hearing,’ or ‘IID,’ and responds with calm, professional language tailored to DUI/DWI clients. For example, if a caller says, ‘I failed the field sobriety test,’ the AI says, ‘I understand this is stressful. Let’s get you connected with an attorney who specializes in FST defense and can help you challenge the results.’ This reduces anxiety and increases conversion by 41% compared to generic voicemail systems.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost over 30% of our business during the first two weeks after a client was arrested at 1:20 AM on a Friday. One man called at 1:45 AM after a BAC of 0.11%—we didn’t answer. He hired another firm by 7 AM. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve booked 42 new consultations in the past 30 days, including 12 from after-hours calls. One client was facing a mandatory minimum sentence for a third DUI—we got him on the phone within 10 minutes, and we’re now preparing for a diversion program. This service is saving our firm from losing cases before they even start.”

“Weekends used to be a nightmare. I’d come in on Sunday morning to find 15 missed calls from clients who’d been arrested on Saturday night—many of them facing ALS hearings in 72 hours. Now, our AI answers every call, qualifies the client, schedules a consultation, and even reminds them about their right to request a BAC test review. One client was in the middle of a 30-day diversion program—our system reminded them of their next court date, and they didn’t miss a single appointment. That’s the kind of reliability we need in DUI defense.”

“Before Answrr, we were losing over 35% of calls during business hours—especially when we were in court or preparing for a trial. Now, every call is answered instantly. The AI remembers past clients and their case history—like whether they’ve done an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) before or if they’re eligible for expungement. One client called last month asking about expunging a 2018 DUI. The system pulled up their full file, confirmed they’d completed all requirements, and scheduled a consultation for the same day. We closed the case in 10 days. This isn’t just efficiency—it’s a competitive edge.”
