Settlement calculations, ready for firm review
Upload a settlement statement or sync case data, and Disbo calculates every party's share — attorney fees, medical liens, costs, referral fees, and the client's distribution — without a spreadsheet.
- AI-powered settlement sheet parsing
- Every share calculated automatically from case data
- Full documentation package attached to every disbursement
Your IOLTA ledger updates itself
The trust ledger updates the moment a deposit arrives or a disbursement goes out. Per-client sub-ledgers stay accurate around the clock, so you always know exactly where client funds stand.
- Per-client sub-ledgers maintained automatically
- Hard block prevents disbursing more than the available client balance
- Bank feed connects directly to your IOLTA account
Nothing moves until every rule is met
Settlement agreement on file, liens verified, client authorization obtained, trust balance confirmed — Disbo enforces your state's specific bar rules before a single dollar leaves the trust account.
- State trust accounting rules enforced automatically in all 50 states
- Pre-disbursement checklist blocks payment until documentation is complete
- One-click audit reports in your state bar's required format
Every payment rail, one flat fee
Choose the right rail for each recipient within a single disbursement — Quick Pay for time-sensitive distributions, Standard Pay for routine provider payments, or a tracked paper check via Lob. All for a flat $5.00 per disbursement.

- Disbo Standard Pay: 4–7 business days
- Paper check via Lob with USPS tracking: 7–10 business days

- Automatic client fund notifications with delivery records
- Providers see lien payoff status in real time
- Complete audit trail on every notice sent

Frequently asked questions
What does IOLTA disbursement automation mean?
Instead of hand-writing trust account checks and updating a spreadsheet ledger, Disbo calculates every party's share for law-firm review, initiates approved payments from the IOLTA account, records trust ledger entries, and retains the firm's approved settlement sheet with the audit trail.
How much does Disbo cost?
Disbo is $5.00 per disbursement — one flat fee per payment sent. No monthly subscription, no setup fees. See the pricing page for details.
What payment methods can Disbo send?
Disbo Quick Pay (2–3 business days), Disbo Standard Pay (4–7 business days), and paper checks printed and mailed via Lob with USPS tracking (7–10 business days). You can mix rails within a single disbursement.
Is Disbo IOLTA compliant?
Yes. Disbo enforces your state's trust accounting rules before any payment goes out, blocks disbursing more than the available client balance, maintains per-client sub-ledgers automatically, and time-stamps every action for audit purposes — across all 50 states.
Does Disbo integrate with my case management software?
Disbo integrates natively with Filevine, QuickBooks, QuickBooks Desktop, Clio, CASEpeer, Litify, and Neos — all live two-way integrations today. Plaid powers client bank verification. SmartAdvocate is in progress, with additional PI case-management and legal accounting systems planned.
