Case Study: Gillespie Law Group streamlines remote court filing and saves time with InfoTrack

How a small-firm attorney successfully managed an Illinois trial from a Florida beach home using InfoTrack and Smokeball

Gillespie Law Group, a small Chicago-based law firm specializing in adoptions, faced the challenge of managing a high volume of case filings and remote court proceedings efficiently. As a two-person team, they needed to eliminate tedious manual processes to save time and reduce stress, especially when working outside the office. They turned to the vendor InfoTrack and utilized its court filing integration with their Smokeball practice management software to address these challenges.

InfoTrack's solution automated the court eFiling process, seamlessly integrating with Smokeball to generate, submit, and store documents directly from a case file. This eliminated the need to manually download, save, and track documents from email, saving an estimated five to six minutes per filing. The system also automatically synced court fees back to Smokeball for accurate client billing. The results were significant time savings, reduced administrative stress, and the ability to successfully manage a contested adoption trial remotely from Florida, leading the firm's founder to state she "could not practice law without" InfoTrack.
