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

Pros

“It's no standard AI, the intelligence of AI Paralegal, CRM (I chat with pilot constantly), Matter Issues, Pathways, Ruffle, it's just endless the support”

Kathryn O.

Managing Partner

“For estate planning, for instance, Leap features prompts for you to fill in all family members, all heirs, all devisees, all assets of various types, all executors, all agents,...”

Brendan O.

President and Lawyer

“We have a system in place that any work that gets done on a client's file must be notated in the "Notes" section and with the Time, Save and Close feature we have found that staff is capturing more billable time. ”

Joanne C.

Assistant Office Manager

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.

Paralegal

Cons

“I can't save PDFs from Adobe directly to Leap even though i have the Leap add-in installed. And with Microsoft products i get recurring error messages and they sometimes get sick in a loop. But Leap's customer and tech support are very receptive to customer input and responsive to tech issues and problems.”

Brendan O.

President and Lawyer

“The only feature I miss from previous suppliers that is not done in LEAP is the ability to see, at a glance, all documents (eg. scanned) for a particular day, or all calls for a particular day.”

Rossa M.

Partner

“Integration with MS Office applications is very glitchy: saving documents into LEAP from different applications like Outlook, PDF or Word is not intuitive (small window pops up without clear destination folder).”
