Case Study: Wechsler Becker achieves a two-month payback and major efficiency gains with Smokeball

Smokeball paid for itself in two months, bringing peace of mind to a Seattle family law attorney

Wechsler Becker, a 12‑person family law firm in Seattle established in 1988, faced an outdated, unsupported case-management system and needed better document management, calendaring, billing and automation. Partner Alan Funk evaluated options and selected Smokeball to replace their legacy software and address intake, scheduling and invoicing gaps.

Smokeball’s LeadPro, calendaring, tasks/workflows, client portal, automated templates and Smokeball Billing (with AutoTime) streamlined intake, automated document generation and captured billable time in the background. As a result, Smokeball paid for itself in two months; case calendaring dropped from at least 30 minutes to under five minutes, invoicing and productivity improved, and the team gained measurable time back and greater peace of mind.
