Gold Quote Marks

Lauren Mata at Frost Law was exceptional. I phoned in with several nuanced federal-tax questions, and she freely devoted her own time to break down the regulations, offer practical options, and map out clear next steps. Her depth of knowledge, patience, and genuine willingness to help turned a stressful issue into a manageable plan. Highly recommend her for any tax-related advice.
