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.

Client testimonials

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.

The Frost Law folks that handled my bankruptcy are top notch professionals. I cannot believe how fast and efficient these folks handled my case. I will recommend Frost Law anytime anyone ask.

Philip R.

I found Frost Law Firm online after desperately searching for ways to expedite the long, painful process of getting desperately needed covid-19 pandemic era tax credits in 2024. Their legal team, including Hunter Scott, of this firm literally was one of my life-jackets on the fast-sinking ship of my business. Through their work with the IRS on my behalf, I had 90% of the tax credit refunds in hand by the close of 2025, which helped me turn things around. I highly recommend their expertise when it comes to the tax laws.

Precision

Every detail matters in litigation

The difference between winning and losing often comes down to what you noticed that others missed. I don't overlook anything.

Clarity

You need to understand your options

Legal jargon clouds judgment. I explain your situation plainly so you can make decisions with full knowledge of what's at stake.

Specialties

Six practice areas, one standard

The law doesn't fit neatly into boxes, but the problems people face do. I've spent years learning what works in each arena.

Criminal

Defense when the stakes run highest

The first hours after arrest determine everything. I know how to protect your rights when it matters most.

Family

Custody and divorce require clear thinking

Family law isn't about winning. It's about protecting what matters most to you and your children.

Business

Contracts and disputes demand precision

Most business problems start with unclear agreements. I help prevent them before they become costly litigation.

Appeals

Winning on appeal requires different strategy

Appeals aren't about retrying your case. They're about finding what was missed and making it matter.

Employment

Your rights at work deserve aggressive defense

Employers count on you not knowing your rights. I make sure you do and that they're protected.

White collar

Complex cases need someone who understands

Federal charges and financial crimes require specialized knowledge. I know how to navigate the details that prosecutors rely on.

Foundation

Decades of courtroom work shaped my approach

I've seen what wins cases and what doesn't. The difference lies in preparation, clarity, and the willingness to challenge every assumption. Your case deserves someone who knows the weight of these decisions.

Strategy that works

Every case demands a fresh look and a willingness to question everything.

Results matter most

What you need is someone who knows how to win and won't settle for less.

Direct and honest

No promises you can't keep, no strategies that don't serve your interests.

Advocate

Built on experience and honest counsel
