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.
Very responsive and easy to talk. Good results.
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.
They provide very informative webinars on cutting edge tax laws.
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.
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.
Very knowledgeable and friendly
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.
The difference between winning and losing often comes down to what you noticed that others missed. I don't overlook anything.
Legal jargon clouds judgment. I explain your situation plainly so you can make decisions with full knowledge of what's at stake.
