Thank you to Heather Posey and Frost Law for helping my client with their tax dispute. As an accountant for over 38 years, I’ve worked with several attorneys over the years, and Heather stands out far above the rest. Her command of tax law, strategic thinking, and proactive communication are exceptional. She helped us resolve a complex federal tax issue efficiently and with great results. Awesome Firm!! Thanks!

Client testimonials

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.

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 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.

As a retired IRS Examination Revenue Agent, Group Manager and Field Branch manager I had very little coordination with the IRS Collection function. The presentation by the Frost Law Group was very enlightening and provided me with a background to identify pertinent issues and a potential resource for future client assistance. Thank you for a job well done in the presentation which was provided on the CPA Academy website. The time was well spent.
