Case Study: Hoffenberg & Block achieves 400% case growth and halves admin time with Smokeball

A Family Law firm grows their case volume 400% with Smokeball’s help

Hoffenberg & Block, a 13-employee family law firm in Chicago, was hampered by an outdated shared-drive and paper-based system that made collaboration error-prone and updates time-consuming. To address these issues they adopted Smokeball’s all-in-one legal case management software to replace manual processes and centralize documents and client data.

Smokeball implemented automated Workflows, document generation, and an InfoTrack e-signature integration so retainer agreements and case tasks are created and tracked automatically; this cut admin time in half and reduced time to open a new case from 30 minutes to under 15. As a result of Smokeball’s platform, Hoffenberg & Block scaled from roughly 200 matters to over 1,000—a 400% increase—while maintaining accuracy and enabling remote work during the pandemic.
