Case Study: DumasNeel achieves a 30% increase in billable hours with Smokeball

A Texas law firm increases revenue 30% with Smokeball

DumasNeel, a 10‑person Houston law firm focused on business and healthcare matters, was losing billable time and lacked visibility into staffing under their prior system. They turned to Smokeball’s all‑in‑one practice management software—using features like automatic time tracking, document management, and reporting—to get organized and capture work they had previously missed.

Implementing Smokeball let DumasNeel capture 30% more billable hours and drove a corresponding revenue increase, while giving partners like Megan Neel clear reporting to realign staffing by matter type. Smokeball’s insights have improved resource allocation, supported staff and firm growth, and given the firm confidence to scale.
