What Smokeball does
Smokeball's modules cover the client lifecycle. Intake captures new clients, Matters holds cases, documents and deadlines in one place, and Smokeball Payments covers billable hours and invoices.

Archie, the AI matter assistant, works inside a matter to draft, review and answer questions. Smokeball AI can review matter information, summarise documents, compare files and draft correspondence. The product is aimed at solo lawyers, small law firms and growing legal teams. Testimonials on Smokeball's website come from firm owners and lawyers, and named customers include Cervantes Chatt & Prince P.C, Hecht Schondorf and Berg & Berg.
