Client testimonials

The Frost Law folks that handled my bankruptcy are top notch professionals. I cannot believe how fast and efficient these folks handled my case. I will recommend Frost Law anytime anyone ask.

Philip R.

I have known Dan personally for approximately 17 yrs. He handled a legal matter for me back in 2015 and I contacted him again this year (2025) when another matter arose. Dan answered my questions and then referred me to another attorney more experienced with my specific matter. I'm happy to report that my matter is resolved.

Harry G.

Dan handled my matter with professionalism, precision, and genuine care. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure I understood every step of the process. Frost Law’s quality of service is unmatched, but Dan’s personal dedication made all the difference. I highly recommend him and the entire Frost Law team for anyone needing strong, reliable legal support.

Martin J.

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.

I had an excellent experience working with Frost Law, especially with Heather Posey. She expertly handled my complex tax situation with exceptional thoroughness, deep expertise, and unwavering professionalism. Heather went above and beyond to make sure I felt supported throughout the entire process, demonstrating true empathy for my concerns. I was impressed by how efficiently she completed my case in a very timely manner. I highly recommend Heather Posey and the entire Frost Law team to anyone seeking knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective assistance with tax issues.

Glen Frost and his staff are excellent! Not only do they know the law, they provide great client service. They called me back right away, they explained complicated matters in a very clear way and gave me all of my options. I highly recommend them to any individual or business owner for tax disputes. Five Stars!
