Client testimonials

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.

Jesse S.

Lauren Mata was amazing. My consultation with her was extremely informative & she was very sympathetic to my situation.

Shane R.

I had an excellent experience working with Lauren Mata at Frost Law. She was consistently responsive, proactive, and thoughtful in navigating a complex and sensitive matter. Her judgment, professionalism, and communication made a stressful situation much easier to manage. I especially appreciated her ability to identify helpful next steps and provide additional professional services through the same firm with very little overhead. She also worked hard to keep my overall costs reasonable while delivering high quality legal services. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone seeking skilled, compassionate legal support. Be very wary of the unending letters and phone calls you might receive making claims to settle your debts for a fraction of the total. None of those are real. Be sure to only work with experienced professional law firms such as Frost Law. I am glad that I did.

Julie V.

Lauren has been a true professional from minute one in helping me develop a solution for a what seemed an untenable situation. Highly recommend her not just because of her technical competence but also because of her kindness & empathy in the process of getting things resolved.

Well done presentation!

Pete G.

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.

May L.

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.
