How Much Can a Law Firm Recover With CollBox Over Time?
CollBox Team
A Tennessee law firm has recovered about $2.5 million in unpaid invoices since joining CollBox in June 2024. That is a 140x ROI, one of the highest returns among CollBox’s law firm clients. The firm bills through Clio, and its results show what consistent follow-up adds up to when a firm stays with it.

- Recovered through CollBox: about $2.5 million
- ROI: 140x
Why does ROI keep climbing the longer a firm stays?
CollBox charges a flat, predictable subscription. Recoveries, on the other hand, grow with the firm’s billing. Every month a firm stays, new invoices come due, some go past due, and CollBox works them.
That means the ratio of recovered to spent tends to rise over time. A firm in its first few months might see a solid but modest return. A firm that has made CollBox a standing part of its billing routine looks more like this one.
What did CollBox change?
CollBox connected to the firm’s Clio account and began working every eligible past-due balance, up to 180 days past due. Because balances come to CollBox automatically as they age, nothing sits untouched long enough to become uncollectible.
Over time, the firm’s attorneys stopped thinking about collections as a separate project. It simply happens in the background.
What were the results?
In 28 months, the firm has recovered about $2.5 million through CollBox. Only two of CollBox’s 56 law firm clients on Clio, MyCase, and Smokeball have a higher ROI, and only two have recovered more in total.
For comparison, the median CollBox law firm client has a 24x ROI. This firm is more than five times that.
“The firms with the biggest numbers didn’t do anything exotic. They connected their billing, let us work it, and stayed. Consistency compounds.” Matt Darner, Co-founder and CEO, CollBox
