Brinkley Law Firm

With Smokeball, a family law firm recaptures their unbilled time

Brinkley Law Firm guides families through some of life's biggest changes. After ten years with Clio, the busy family law firm had outgrown the software’s capabilities and was losing significant revenue in unbilled time each week. “Each weekend I had to review the week’s work to capture billable hours that weren’t automatically tagged. My team was working way too hard to not have their time captured,” recalls firm owner Stephanie Brinkley.  

Since adopting Smokeball, Brinkley Law Firm has hired additional staff and opened a second regional office. With everything on a single cloud-based platform staff work efficiently. Thanks to automatic time tracking, their activity is effortlessly recorded for quick, accurate billing. And the time Stephanie once spent recreating billing history is now dedicated to mentoring staff, growing the business, and caring for clients.
