Katherine L. Taylor is the founder of Taylor Legal. Her law firm represents business owners and property owners in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area.

Katherine’s legal career began at Whiteford, Taylor and Preston in the Commercial Litigation Department of the Baltimore Law Firm.

In 2004, Katherine started Taylor Legal, where she continues to enjoy working with business owners to help them protect the businesses they created.

Client testimonials

It amazes me the level of effort that Frost and Associates puts in every year during tax season. I often see emails at 9:30 p.m. asking questions or providing status updates. The commitment that this firm has to meet deadlines and provide timely customer service is outstanding to say the least. Much appreciation for your hard work and dedication.

Frost & Associates, LLC is a very caring and responsible firm. Every moment of my involvement with them has been a good experience.

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.

Michael U.

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.
