"I love Smokeball's cloud-based software! It offers flexibility and enables productive remote work. The entire team can access all files, matters as well as see each other’s To-Do lists and calendars. This is so helpful for the division of work. Tasks and workflows is a great way for all staff to know what needs to be completed for each matter and who requires help"
