Every Missed Call Is a Missed Case
Personal-injury and plaintiff firms lose six figures a year to calls that go to voicemail. Alira's AI voice receptionist answers every call 24/7 — so no case slips away.
What missed calls really cost a law firm
Most firms miss a meaningful share of inbound calls — at lunch, after 5pm, during hearings, and whenever the front desk is busy. New-client calls that go unanswered rarely turn into voicemails; in practice, most callers simply hang up and call the next firm. For a personal-injury practice where a single signed case can be worth tens of thousands of dollars, even a few missed calls a week adds up to six figures of lost revenue a year.
- Callers don't leave voicemails — they call your competitor.
- After-hours is a black hole — injuries and arrests don't keep business hours.
- One recovered case often pays for a year of intake coverage.

Frequently asked questions
How much do missed calls cost a law firm?
It depends on call volume and case value, but for personal-injury firms a single missed call can cost a case worth tens of thousands of dollars. Use the calculator above to estimate your firm's annual loss.
What percentage of calls do law firms miss?
Many firms miss a significant share of inbound calls, especially after hours, at lunch, and when staff are busy. Most callers who hit voicemail hang up and call another firm rather than leaving a message.
How does an AI receptionist stop missed calls?
An AI voice receptionist answers every call instantly, 24/7, qualifies the caller, and books the consultation, so calls are never sent to voicemail or lost after hours.
Do callers really hang up if a law firm doesn't answer?
Yes. Most prospective clients calling about a legal matter will move on to the next firm rather than leave a voicemail, which is why answering live matters so much for intake.
