Very knowledgeable and friendly

Judd L.

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.

Allison W.

Extremely professional and helpful. They seem to be incredibly well-staffed, and everyone I spoke to was very pleasant. The services I needed were outside of my price range, but I have no doubt that they deserve what they charge.

Zachary P.

We’ve started working with Frost Tax Law on our ERC claim that had stalled and was getting extremely frustrated with working with (or dealing with) the IRS. He was able to expedite a quick response as well as getting our claims approved and paid when I was barely able to get a response from the IRS. Highly recommend

Client testimonials

Even without engaging, the partners of this law firm give incredible advise and think of their clients first. I had the pleasure of speaking with Peter and we was very thourough and helped me understand my legal strategy better. Highly recommend, will definitely engage the firm who needed. TOP NOTCH!

I contacted 6 law firms. Out of 6, I talked to 4 over the phone and 2 over email. Frost & associates, was the only one that listened closely, asked the appropriate questions during the consultation phase. Others were rushing, non attentive, and almost dismissive. Frost was the only one that made me felt heard and assured. After I decided to go with Frost, they were on top of everything, every single step of the way. Kept me in the loop, provided me with case updates regularly. They got my case dismissed before it even went to hearing.

Special Shout out to Nick Berger for doing an amazing job.

If I could, I would give them 10 stars out of 5.

I’ve worked with various individuals at Frost and Associates over the past four years. To the person, I couldn’t have been happier with their representation. There have been many complicated issues, and they’ve always taken the time and patience to explain same to me. I’ve probably recommended them to three or four of my friends.
