After-Hours Criminal Defense Calls: Revenue You Are Missing
Criminal defense is the most after-hours-dependent practice area. DUI arrests at midnight, domestic violence calls at 2 AM — if you are not answering, you are not earning.
Criminal defense is unique among practice areas in its dependency on after-hours calls. The majority of arrests happen between 10 PM and 4 AM — exactly when law firms are closed. DUI stops, bar fights, domestic violence incidents, and drug arrests all peak during nighttime hours. The firms that answer these calls capture retainers worth $5,000 to $25,000. The firms that send callers to voicemail lose them permanently.
