The staff at Frost and Associates are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They gave me advice on how to resolve a tax situation that has been causing me mass amounts of stress. I felt comfortable disclosing my personal information and walked out feeling like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I was nervous about seeking legal help on my issue at first but am very pleased I did! I highly recommend Frost and Associates!

Richard Berwanger is great to work with. Once your needs and objectives are set, he does what it takes to get them met. The best!

I strongly recommend the Frost group. I was reluctant at first to seek help regarding a complicated situation that I was unable to resolve on my own. However, they were very professional, knowledgeable and personable. My problems were resolved efficiently while maximizing my returns. It is such a relief to have these issues finally resolved. I only wish I had found the Frost group sooner.
