Good summary of the Tax Act of 2025.

Stuart C.

Very responsive and easy to talk. Good results.

I found all of the various staff that I interacted with to be exceptionally helpful and understanding of my limited technical abilities on some of the functions that were required to process my Employee Retention Credit claim. I would recommend this firm to any business or individual needing legal advice! Mike Roach/co-owner of Paloma Clothing for the past 50 years.

Mike R.

Provided excellent, thoughtful advice, were very knowledgeable and provided me with a lot of reassurance about my situation. I would not hesitate to recommend Frost Law.

Client testimonials

When you are having an issue with the IRS, you need professional help to communicate with the right person within the IRS that can help you with your situation. Unfortunately I was not able to find that person and my situation continued to drag on for months. I would communicate by letter and also attempted to use the phone but to no avail. The IRS did not quit working my case and their letters indicated they were getting stronger in demands.

I found Frost Law Firm paid a reasonable retainer, and they were working my case within days. I was very impressed with their contacts within the IRS and how they represented me. Lauren Mata was my attorney and she was very diligent, great at follow up and did everything she said she would do.

My case was settled not long ago, to my benefit as we were able to prove that our position was correct. Whereas I did not have the credibility with the IRS, Frost and Lauren Mata did. I believe I received good value for what I was charged.

Great communication made a troubling time easy def recommend

I found Frost Law Firm online after desperately searching for ways to expedite the long, painful process of getting desperately needed covid-19 pandemic era tax credits in 2024. Their legal team, including Hunter Scott, of this firm literally was one of my life-jackets on the fast-sinking ship of my business. Through their work with the IRS on my behalf, I had 90% of the tax credit refunds in hand by the close of 2025, which helped me turn things around. I highly recommend their expertise when it comes to the tax laws.
