I worked with Kaitlyn and she was outstanding! A stressful situation completely went away when I hired these guys and if you ever get a IRS audit I highly recommend Frost and Associates!! 5 stars!!!

From day one I was greeted by a kind courteous and professional staff. The group came highly recommended from another trusted Professional resource. They proved to be super knowledgeable about all of the issues that were in concern to me. Ultimately they brought clarity and resolution to my situation and I look forward to working with them in the future.

This firm has shown an excellent balance between professional discourse and personalized attention. The attorney assigned tome me truly cared about my case and offered, what I felt, were logical solutions based on my needs. Interpreting the law can be daunting and having someone like her on your side provides one with a strong sense of reassurance. It’s clear to me that this firm provides an unwavering dedication to its' clients and would have no problem recommending it to anyone in search of representation.

Client testimonials

I've had the privilege to work with several attorneys with Frost Law. Every attorney has been technically proficient and provided solutions to our work. Our matter was resolved by Zachary Lyda! Highly recommend!

Lynn B.

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.

Frost Law did everything they said they would do, and the church received their refund.

Working with this firm has been a great experience. Their experts are sharp, approachable, and always focused on doing what’s best for the client. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any CPA or advisor.

Client testimonials

Frost Law was a pleasure to work with. They worked with us to obtain the Employee Retention Credit. Everyone we worked with was friendly, helpful, and patient in answering questions and explaining the process to us. I highly recommend them!

Patty S.

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.

Okan A

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.
