The Problem

Every missed call is a lost client

Arrests Happen at All Hours

Families call after an arrest at midnight, on weekends, on holidays. There is no 9-to-5 for criminal defense intake — the calls come when they come, and they need a live answer.

The First Attorney to Answer Gets Hired

In a crisis, families hire whoever answers and sounds competent. The attorney who picks up at 2am wins the retainer — no comparison shopping, no callbacks required.

Attorney Is in Court All Day

Hearings, depositions, and client meetings block phone access for hours. New client calls that come in during court go unanswered — and those are often your highest-urgency prospects.

The Math

2 missed calls/week × 50% conversion × $8,000 avg retainer × 52 weeks = $416,000/yr in lost revenue

$416K

Annual revenue lost to missed calls
