Case Study: Brinkley Law Firm achieves 50 more billable hours per week and $14,000/week revenue with Smokeball

With Smokeball, a family law firm recaptures their unbilled time.

Brinkley Law Firm, a 20-person family law practice in Charleston, South Carolina, was losing significant revenue to unbilled time after outgrowing its previous system. Founder Stephanie Brinkley spent weekends recreating billable hours; to fix this the firm adopted Smokeball’s cloud-based platform, including its automatic time tracking and document automation.

Smokeball’s unified system automatically captures staff activity, provides profitability reporting, and streamlines document creation, enabling quick, accurate billing. As a result of implementing Smokeball, Brinkley Law Firm now captures 50 more billable hours per week, realizes an estimated $14,000/week increase in revenue, has doubled staff and opened a second office, and reclaimed leadership time for mentoring and client care.
