Attorney Billing Software That Automatically Tracks Your Firm’s Time

Smokeball Reviews

Stay ahead of your firm’s finances with Smokeball software

  • Never miss a billable minute

    No more guesswork to backfill how you spent your day. No more writing down how you spent your billable time on scraps of paper. And no more harassing associates to turn in timesheets. Fee-earners who pair Smokeball billing with our automatic time-tracking Smokeball software increase their billable time by 34% on average, which adds up to an additional $134,000 per fee-earner, per year.

  • Bill the way you want, with confidence

    Fixed-fee, hourly, contingency, LEDES or a mix — Smokeball client billing software supports it all. Quickly send your online invoices with just a few clicks, so you can skip stuffing and sealing stacks of envelopes for the post office to pick up and deliver. Your new streamlined online Smokeball billing process means true visibility into your outstanding balances and better client accountability.

  • Reduce your time to payment

    Stop combing through client records to see who’s paid up. Smokeball software pulls from all your client matters to neatly summarize your finances in customizable Law Firm Insights Reports. Review the status of every invoice to see if clients are paid up; view aging summaries and give outstanding accounts a nudge; and improve your day-to-day financial health.

More accurate time tracking means more accurate client billing

  • Show your clients what you’ve been up to (without tracking it yourself)

    Smokeball’s precise time-tracking solution pulls from each matter’s tracked time to build detailed invoices — professionally branded to your firm — that put the proof behind your hard work. While Smokeball software automatically captures your time, you still control what’s included on client bills. Review entries before sending an invoice to ensure accuracy, include the details your clients need and delete any comps.

  • Invoice management for legal firms

    Smokeball billing is much more than another generic invoicing tool. Built with lawyers like you in mind, our law firm billing platform gives you ultimate invoicing flexibility — monthly, on contingency, through flat-fee, LEDES or a mix. With smart features like batch billing and automatic payment plans, our law firm billing software puts all the tools you need in one place.

  • A friendlier way for clients to manage their finances

    If you’re tired of clients requesting a copy of their outstanding balance or invoices and they’re sick of asking, Smokeball’s e-invoicing software is the solution that makes everyone happy. Clients can see exactly how much they owe, download documents and make a payment, all from one place. Plus, our law firm billing software is accessible via a computer, tablet or smartphone.
