Smokeball

Smokeball is a practice-management platform for small law firms, distinguished by its strong document automation and automatic time tracking, and it now includes built-in AI through Smokeball AI and its Archie AI matter assistant. The platform covers case management, calendaring, legal billing and trust accounting, client portals and payments, with AutoTime capturing billable work in the background so revenue is not lost to unrecorded time. For small firms, Smokeball's appeal is the combination of deep document automation — generating court and matter documents from templates — with practice management and AI assistance in one system. It competes directly with Clio, MyCase and PracticePanther; firms often choose Smokeball specifically when document-heavy practice areas make its automation and automatic time capture the deciding factors.
