Pros

“Trying to get the attorneys to use it, but that is the same with any new technology and lawyers”

Barbara P.

Paralegal Office Manager

“Easy to use, handles large databases, offers a variety of features including date calculator, time management stuff, and document templates that integrate with Word.”

Doreen T.

Manger

“I wish you could highlight fields in the status section. Or make something in bold so that the important stuff jumps out.”

Doreen T.

Manger

Pros

“The onboarding process was smooth, the support team was helpful, and the software has delivered meaningful improvements in efficiency and case management. Since making the switch, we've seen continuous enhancements to the platform, along with excellent customer service whenever questions arise.”

Jason D.

Director of Operations

“Smokeball has helped keep our communication on the same page, generate templates that ease time, and keep workflows consistent so that nothing falls through the cracks on our cases.”

Alita I.

Paralegal

“We primarily handle personal injury cases, and Smokeball has been an excellent fit for our workflow, helping us stay organized and efficient.”

Jason D.

Director of Operations

Cons

“Amicus suffers from the bane of software development: it has become a spaghetti of code that seemingly generates glitch after glitch and crash after crash as Amicus has added more features to keep up with the competition. ”

Glen T.

Principal Attorney

“They lock you into a contract and even when you honor the term of the contract and send in written cancellation they kept charging our card.”

Michael S.

Operations Manager

“We DO NOT rely on the calendar since we found it is not accurate and never synchronizes with Outlook as promised, over, and over, and over. Since being forced into a subscription based model, we have found it is no longer cost effective. ”

Terry B.

Chief Financial Officer

Cons

“It is also missing the ability to create matters on the phone app. If you use Smokeball with Classic Outlook, it can sync up with your calendar when you create the matter in Outlook. If that features exists in the New Outlook, I cannot seem to find it, so while I would like to use the New Outlook for various reasons, I cannot right now, since that syncing feature is so important to me.”

Bela B.

Managing Attorney

“The pace of development and responsiveness to user feedback makes it hard to point to any major ongoing frustrations.”

Jason D.

Director of Operations

“The character limit in title of case can keep esign feature from working.”

Angela G.
