If you’re tired of having limited access to essential features and customization with Smokeball — PracticePanther’s fully cloud-based law practice management software is here to support your firm wherever the law takes you.
See why PracticePanther’s easy-to-use and robust feature-set makes it the clear choice over Smokeball.
I was frustrated that Smokeball didn’t have a built-in payment system. Billing took extra time, and I had to rely on separate services like QuickBooks or Square, which came with high processing fees. Collecting payments—whether from private clients or the court—typically took 45-60 days, and every case was aging on the account. Switching to PracticePanther changed everything for the better

I love every aspect of this software. PracticePanther has saved me HOURS every month doing my billing and invoicing. It only takes me a few minutes and a few clicks of a button and it’s finished, the invoices are on their way to my clients with an easy way to pay online built right into the document
In a high-volume practice like ours, PracticePanther’s ability to create and auto-populate document templates with client data saves us an inordinate amount of time. What took staff members around 40 minutes to populate a new intake packet or case document before, can now be done in less than 5 minutes.
