"I was handling an Estate where the decedent owed a substantial tax obligation to the State of Maryland for delinquent and unpaid tax, interest, etc. I turned to Rob Owings for assistance. Rob jumped right in and within a relatively short period of time resolved the matter with the State and obtained a Release of Judgment."

"This is a great form. I had a few different tax problems in different states and came to Frost & Associates feeling vulnerable. They made me feel comfortable. Compared to other tax firms in the area their rate is very fair. Paul Stabile was the attorney assigned to my case. Despite having to jump through many hoops he made short work of my matters, saving me thousands of dollars."
