Case Study: Rockwell & Kaufman achieves time savings and case-volume growth with Smokeball AI

A civil litigation firm uses Smokeball AI to eliminate time-wasting tasks and grow their case volume

Rockwell & Kaufman, a seven‑attorney civil litigation firm in Mobile, Alabama, defends complex medical malpractice cases and faced a record‑heavy caseload that made document management and repetitive tasks a drain on staff time and billing accuracy. To address this, the firm adopted Smokeball—using its matter management platform with the secure AI matter assistant Archie and automatic time tracking—to organize and search tens of thousands of documents and ensure activity is captured for billing.

Smokeball’s AI assistant Archie extracts key case information, drafts emails, compares documents, and, combined with automatic time tracking, eliminated time‑draining tasks and enabled fast, accurate billing. As a result, Rockwell & Kaufman saved hours on repetitive work, captured 100% of staff billable time, and increased efficiency and capacity to handle more cases, boosting productivity and profitability.
