Client testimonials

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

Shane R.

Lauren Mata was extremely helpful and did an excellent job in resolving my trust fund tax issues with the IRS.

Rudolph S.

Frost Law was incredibly punctual and responsive upon my request for consultation. We spoke with Lauren Mata, and she is so knowledgeable, helpful, intelligent, and made us feel secure about the matter at hand. We felt like we could really trust her guidance. I would highly recommend their services based on my experience and we will be reaching out again as necessary!

Sara S.

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.

Albert S.

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.

Ian W.

"Great folks. Mr. Frost and Associates are professional and very knowledgeable. They helped my wife and I out with some outstanding IRS issues with a close family member."

Jeff P.

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.
