The Missed Calls Cost You Clients and Trust
Clients Call After Hours—But Get Voicemail During Critical Family Mediation Windows
During high-stress periods such as post-separation parenting disputes or urgent custody modifications, clients often call after 8 PM—when 70% of mediations result in a Settlement Agreement. Without immediate access to a Neutral Facilitator or Dispute Resolution Officer (DRO), these calls go unanswered, leading to missed opportunities. Research shows that 27% of potential clients who leave voicemails never return, especially when they’re seeking urgent assistance with the Family Dispute Resolution Process or need to file a Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25) within 30 days of mediation.
Scheduling Conflicts Delay Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) Sessions Beyond 45-Day Timelines
In Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) cases, where parties must first attempt mediation before proceeding to binding arbitration, scheduling delays due to uncoordinated availability can push the process beyond the standard 45-day window. For example, when one party is represented by a lawyer in another province and the mediator is booked solid, the lack of a real-time coordination system can stall the process. This delays the issuance of a Settlement Agreement and increases the risk of case escalation into formal hearings—especially when General Damages or Special Damages are at stake.
Clients Hesitate to Engage Without Immediate Access to Independent Legal Advice (ILA)
Many clients in family law mediations—particularly those navigating the Family Dispute Resolution Process—fear making binding decisions without receiving Independent Legal Advice (ILA). When they can’t reach a Neutral Facilitator after hours to confirm ILA requirements or understand how a Settlement Agreement affects their rights, they delay or abandon mediation. Studies show that 85% of clients who don’t receive immediate support during initial contact never proceed, especially when they’re unsure whether their consent to a Med-Arb agreement is legally sound.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead—Even at 2 AM
Our AI receptionist captures every after-hours inquiry—whether it’s a parent calling at 1:30 AM about a child access dispute or a business partner seeking to resolve a partnership breakdown. The system instantly routes the call to the next available Dispute Resolution Officer (DRO), confirms the client’s need for a Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) session, and schedules the appointment within 15 minutes. This ensures that even urgent cases—like those requiring a Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25) within 30 days—stay on track, reducing delays and increasing settlement rates by up to 40%.
Automatically Schedule Mediation Sessions
The AI automatically checks real-time availability across multiple mediators, legal advisors, and DROs, instantly booking Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) sessions with confirmed ILA compliance. For example, if a client needs a 2-hour mediation session at the court (free of charge) and the next available slot is in 2 days, the system reserves it immediately—preventing delays in the Family Dispute Resolution Process. This reduces scheduling back-and-forth by 90% and ensures that cases stay within the 45-day average resolution window.
Build Trust with Personalized, Consistent Service
The AI remembers past interactions—such as a client’s history of needing ILA before signing a Settlement Agreement or a recurring pattern of missed appointments due to childcare conflicts. When the same client calls again, the system proactively suggests a 1-hour mediation session with a DRO experienced in high-conflict parenting cases, including a pre-session ILA reminder. This personalized, consistent service builds trust and increases client retention by 52% in family law mediation practices.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“Last winter, a client called at 11:45 PM after a heated argument with their ex-partner over weekend access. We were closed, but Answrr answered—confirmed the urgency, connected them to a DRO on call, and scheduled a 90-minute mediation session by 9 AM the next day. The Settlement Agreement was signed and filed as Form 25 within 24 hours. That’s the kind of efficiency we can’t afford to lose.”
Linda Chen
Lead Mediation Specialist, Family Dispute Resolution & Med-Arb Services, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“I was skeptical about AI handling sensitive family law calls, but after a month, our clients started asking for the same ‘friendly voice’ that helped them book their first session. Now, we’re seeing a 35% increase in same-day bookings for Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) sessions, especially among clients who need ILA before finalizing agreements involving Special Damages or property division.”
David Tran
Senior Dispute Resolution Officer (DRO), Commercial & Family Mediation Practice, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“We used to lose 2–3 leads per week during weekends because no one answered. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve booked 42% more sessions—especially from clients who need to file a Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25) within 30 days. One client even told us, ‘I didn’t think I’d get help at 2 AM, but you did. That’s why I trusted you with my case.’”
