The Story Of Any Company
First Begins With An Idea
At SmartAdvocate, our clients satisfaction is paramount. It fuels our pride and reflects on our commitment to excellence in empowering legal professionals with confidence. Your success is our success.
SmartAdvocate’s Design Idea
The concept for SmartAdvocate was first created by a national plaintiff’s personal injury law firm. In their search for a software product to help resolve many of their specific case management challenges,they realized there were none on the market.
Unique and Personalized
Over a 5-year period, a comprehensive wish list was developed. It included features that they and any law firm would use to save time and increase the efficiency and accuracy of handling cases and operational details.
Next, a team of expert technicians and programmers, along with experienced personal injury lawyers, paralegals and law firm management consultants developed the first version of SmartAdvocate – with a unique and personalized focus on personal injury and mass tort litigation law.
The Ideal Practice Management Software
Such a program would provide an all-inclusive profile of clients, staff, in and out-of-court activity, potential case values, injuries, critical dates, status, insurance, and other vital information for every case, in a simple, user-friendly format.
This software would also present as much information as possible on one summary screen to avoid frustrating and time-consuming searches and wasted time. Shortcuts and other navigational tools would be a must. Special pop-up screens would ensure the user and the office, that no critical information would ever be forgotten or overlooked.
The Idea Became An Award-Winning Product
More than two decades later, SmartAdvocate has evolved with dozens of major software updates and thousands of new features and enhancements released annually. Serving law firms in all practice areas worldwide, SmartAdvocate has remained dedicated to using client feedback, reviews, and requests as their main guide in software developments. Among SmartAdvocate’s proudest achievements is their 150+ integration partners that include services like eSignature, accounting software, texting, medical records retrieval, and much more.

"When you bear the enormous responsibility of managing a dynamic law firm, it is essential that you employ the most up-to-date, state-of-the-art, efficient, creative, and intuitive case management software on the market. For decades, I have searched for the highest-level software available, but have found significant negative aspects with each. On a positive note, several years ago, I was introduced to SmartAdvocate. Finally, and to my great satisfaction, I found a case management system that fulfilled all of my expectations, and beyond. Smart Advocate is a platform that is easy to use, dramatically increases productivity, tracks daily staff production and critical deadlines, proficiently generates documents, is continually updated implementing new and creative features, and much, much more. Without reservation whatsoever, I highly recommend SmartAdvocate."
