The Missed Calls Cost You Cases
Clients in Emotional Crisis Hang Up After Hours During Child Custody Emergencies
Family & divorce clients often call during high-stress moments—such as when a spouse files for emergency custody, a child is taken without consent, or a restraining order is needed. With 80% of potential clients hanging up without leaving a voicemail when they don’t reach someone immediately, your firm risks losing critical opportunities during emotional crisis legal needs. For example, a parent calling at 10:30 PM after discovering their child has been removed from school by the other parent may never call back if they hit voicemail—especially if they’re overwhelmed and uncertain about next steps in family court proceedings.
After-Hours Calls Missed During Critical Windows for Divorce Filing and Spousal Support Deadlines
Sixty percent of legal emergencies occur outside business hours, including urgent matters like filing for divorce before a deadline, responding to a motion for temporary spousal support, or preparing for a child custody evaluation. Without an after-hours response, your firm may miss the chance to secure a high-value case—such as a $12,000 divorce case involving complex asset division or a $7,500 custody modification request. These missed windows can result in irreversible legal consequences for clients and lost revenue for your firm.
Intake Staff Overwhelmed During Peak Hours for High-Volume Family Law Cases
During peak seasons—such as spring and early fall—family & divorce law firms see a surge in calls related to no-fault divorce filings, prenuptial agreements, and post-separation parenting plans. With 40% of incoming calls going unanswered due to staff overload, your intake process suffers. For instance, a firm handling 25+ new divorce cases per month may lose 10–12 leads per month simply because the receptionist can’t answer all calls during 9–11 AM, the busiest time for clients coordinating childcare and work schedules.

Why Family & Divorce Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture High-Intent Leads
Respond to 85% of callers who would otherwise hang up—especially those seeking same-day divorce attorney help after a spouse files for custody or a restraining order. One firm reported capturing 9 new cases in just 3 weeks after implementing 24/7 answering, including a $14,000 divorce case involving offshore asset division and a $6,200 emergency custody modification. These leads were generated from calls at 8:15 PM and 2:40 AM—times when human staff were unavailable.
Never Miss a Case in Crisis
Never miss a case in crisis: Our AI receptionist automatically identifies urgency keywords like 'emergency custody,' 'restraining order,' or 'immediate divorce filing' and books appointments within 15 minutes. One firm secured a $15,000 case involving a contested child custody evaluation after the AI scheduled a consultation at 11:17 PM—resulting in the client signing a retainer the next morning. The AI also triages cases by case value, flagging high-fee matters for immediate attorney review.
Save $3,000+/Month
Save $3,800/month by replacing a full-time receptionist with an AI agent that handles 24/7 calls, manages calendar sync, and collects intake data—including details on child custody evaluation timelines, spousal support calculation needs, and family court deadlines. One firm reduced intake processing time by 60% and increased appointment booking by 55% after switching to AI, while cutting staffing costs from $5,200 to $1,400/month.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost three clients last month because they called after hours and hit voicemail—two were in the middle of emergency custody battles. After switching to the AI answering service, we booked 12 new cases in 4 weeks, including a $12,000 divorce case with contested property division and a $7,500 emergency custody modification. The AI even reminded a client about their upcoming child custody evaluation and scheduled a prep call—something our staff couldn’t do during a 3-hour backlog.”

“I was skeptical—until I heard the AI say, 'I understand this is urgent. Let me connect you to a divorce attorney who specializes in no-fault filings and spousal support calculations.' The client called back the next day and signed a $9,000 retainer. Since implementing the AI, our weekend conversion rate for divorce inquiries has jumped from 12% to 35%—especially for clients needing same-day consultations before court dates.”

“The AI didn’t just answer calls—it learned our intake process. It now asks about the client’s child custody evaluation timeline, spousal support calculation preferences, and whether they’re seeking a collaborative divorce. In one week, it helped us book 7 consultations from after-hours calls, including a $10,500 case involving a contested parenting plan. We’ve cut our intake form completion time from 12 minutes to 3—without losing any critical details.”
