The Missed DUI Case Calls Cost Thousands
35% of DUI Intake Calls Go Unanswered During Peak Hours—Costing $1,000–$7,500 per Lost Case
During high-demand periods—such as late Friday nights or early Saturday mornings—35% of calls to DUI/DWI law firms go unanswered, even during normal business hours. For example, a client arrested at 1:30 a.m. after a field sobriety test (FST) with a BAC of 0.12% may call immediately seeking legal help. If the call goes to voicemail, 85% of these high-intent callers never return. With one missed intake call potentially costing $1,000 to $7,500 in lifetime case value (especially for repeat DUI offenders or cases involving mandatory DUI education programs), this gap directly impacts revenue and client acquisition. Small firms with only one intake coordinator often miss 2–3 critical calls per week, especially when attorneys are in court or preparing for plea negotiation.
Voicemails from First-Time DUI Offenders Are Often Missed—Missing Key Details Like IID Requirements
Over 2–3 potential clients per week leave voicemails after a DUI arrest, but many are never returned due to staffing gaps. These callers often mention critical details like a high BAC (e.g., 0.15% or higher), a prior administrative license suspension, or whether they were required to install an ignition interlock device (IID). Without immediate follow-up, firms lose the opportunity to qualify these leads based on aggravating factors in DUI, such as a minor in the vehicle or refusal to submit to chemical testing. This results in missed cases that could have been secured with a timely response during the 72-hour window after arrest.
Attorneys Spend 30 Minutes per Intake Call—Time That Could Be Used for Court Prep or Plea Negotiation
Each intake call averages 30 minutes, during which attorneys must assess the DUI vs DWI distinction in the state, determine if the client is a first-time DUI offense or repeat offender, review field sobriety test (FST) results, and confirm whether the client has already been issued a notice of administrative license suspension. For a firm handling 20 DUI cases per month, this equates to 10 hours of billable time lost per month—time that could be spent preparing for plea negotiation, challenging BAC test results, or defending against mandatory DUI education program mandates. This inefficiency compounds during peak seasons like summer and holiday weekends.

Why DUI/DWI Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture High-Value DUI Leads 24/7
Capture 24/7 high-value DUI leads—even at 2 a.m. after a DUI arrest. For example, a client arrested at 1:45 a.m. with a BAC of 0.14% calls immediately. Answrr answers instantly, asks qualifying questions (e.g., 'Were you required to take a breathalyzer?', 'Is this your first DUI offense?'), and books a same-day free consultation. In one case, a firm secured a $6,200 retained case within 90 minutes of the call—before the client even spoke to another lawyer. This 24/7 availability ensures no lead is lost, especially during the critical 72-hour window post-arrest when clients are most motivated to act.
Instant Appointment Booking for Free Consultations
Automatically schedule same-day or next-day consultations with no back-and-forth. For example, a client arrested on a Friday night with a BAC of 0.16% and a prior DUI within the past 5 years calls at 11:30 p.m. Answrr qualifies the lead as a repeat DUI offender with aggravating factors, confirms the client needs a DUI defense attorney cost estimate, and books a consultation for 9 a.m. the next day. The system integrates with the firm’s calendar and sends automated reminders. In one month, this process led to 14 new consultations—7 of them from after-hours calls—resulting in 4 retained cases worth $28,000 in combined fees.
Professional, Trusted AI Voice That Builds Confidence
Professional, trusted AI voice with Rime Arcana technology ensures callers feel confident discussing sensitive issues like high BAC results, refusal to submit to chemical testing, or mandatory IID installation. For example, a client who failed a field sobriety test (FST) and is nervous about their first-time DUI offense is reassured by the natural tone and professional phrasing. The system remembers past concerns—such as a prior administrative license suspension—and adjusts follow-up questions accordingly. This builds trust in high-stress moments, increasing the likelihood of retention.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose 40% of our DUI intake calls—especially on weekends when our intake specialist was off. After implementing Answrr, we now capture every call. Last month, a client called at 1:15 a.m. after a DUI arrest with a BAC of 0.18% and a prior offense. The system asked about the field sobriety test results, confirmed the administrative license suspension notice, and booked a same-day consultation. That case turned into a $7,500 retained fee. We’ve seen a 35% increase in new client intake since switching to Answrr.”

“I was skeptical about AI handling sensitive DUI calls. But after testing Answrr, I was impressed. The system asked the right questions—like whether the client had been ordered to install an ignition interlock device (IID) and if they were charged with a DUI vs DWI under state law. It even flagged a repeat offender with aggravating factors like a minor in the car. The client felt heard, and we secured a $5,200 case within 24 hours. Now, it’s our standard intake process.”
Linda Chen
Lead Attorney, Phoenix DUI Defense Center, DUI/DWI Lawyers
“After setting up Answrr, we booked 17 new DUI consultations in just one week—12 of them from after-hours calls. One client called at 10:45 p.m. with a BAC of 0.15% and a mandatory DUI education program requirement. The system booked a free consultation for 8 a.m. the next day. We closed the case with a $4,800 retainer. Now, we’re using the saved attorney time to prep for plea negotiation in 3 high-profile cases. This is a game-changer for our firm’s efficiency.”
