Case Study: Raxter Law saves about 70 hours a week with Smokeball
Key results
The challenge
Raxter Law runs a forms-heavy probate litigation and estate planning practice in Menifee, California. The firm initially managed its work across more than six separate programs, losing significant time switching between applications, then cycled through two legal practice management tools that proved cumbersome to onboard or left the firm feeling ignored.
The solution
Raxter Law consolidated onto Smokeball for its document automation, email integration and management, and trust accounting in a single package. Paralegals enter client information once and auto-fill court forms in a click, staff work from the cloud remotely, and activity is automatically logged for review in Firm Insights.
“Smokeball saves us at least two hours a day per our seven staff compared to the original system.”

The results, in context
Raxter Law reports that Smokeball saves the firm at least 70 hours a week — roughly three days — because staff no longer waste time searching for documents, organizing email or re-keying client information. Principal attorney Jeremiah Raxter estimates the tool saves about two hours a day for each of the firm's seven staff, and new hires can learn Smokeball after about an hour of training.
