Frequently Asked Questions From Defense Firms About the 2 A.M. Call and More

What does Atty do for a criminal defense firm?

Atty’s criminal defense answering service answers arrest and charge calls 24/7, captures the facts your firm needs and gets urgent matters to an attorney fast. Lower-priority calls are booked as consultations instead of waking anyone.

Can Atty handle arrest calls in the middle of the night?

Yes. The criminal defense answering service captures the charge, facility and a callback number, and alerts your on-call attorney right away for urgent matters.

Which calls get escalated to an attorney?

You set the rules, for example escalating felony, DUI and custody calls immediately while booking traffic matters for the morning. Contact us and our team will help you map your escalation rules before go-live.

Does Atty tell callers what will happen in their case?

No. The agent sticks to your intake script and knowledge base, and anything beyond that scope goes to an attorney instead of being guessed at.

Which charges can it screen?

DUI and DWI, drug charges, white collar matters and assault cases, each with its own intake questions.

Is the conversation confidential?

Calls are encrypted in transit and at rest, and the agent collects only what your intake script asks for, so case details wait for the attorney.
