Client testimonials

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

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.

I worked with Ms. Mata on a tourism tax dispute and could not have been more pleased with her professionalism, skill, knowledge, and responsiveness.  She resolved the issue extremely quickly and with a sensitivity to my budget constraints.  Finally, she was enjoyable to work with, listened to my needs, and offered effective and insightful solutions.  Mine is a small business, and this is now my go-to firm for all legal work/document review.  Thank you, Frost and Associates!

Very communicative and no use of "legaleze" to describe tax situations/complexities!

Outstanding webinar!

We tried everything before hiring an attorney to deal with the IRS. They were able to get the IRS to correct their own mistake. I hope I never need them again but if I do at least I know where to go next time.

I've had the privilege to work with several attorneys with Frost Law. Every attorney has been technically proficient and provided solutions to our work. Our matter was resolved by Zachary Lyda! Highly recommend!

Thank you for your service.

Thank you to Heather Posey and Frost Law for helping my client with their tax dispute. As an accountant for over 38 years, I’ve worked with several attorneys over the years, and Heather stands out far above the rest. Her command of tax law, strategic thinking, and proactive communication are exceptional. She helped us resolve a complex federal tax issue efficiently and with great results. Awesome Firm!! Thanks!

Frost Law was a pleasure to work with. They worked with us to obtain the Employee Retention Credit. Everyone we worked with was friendly, helpful, and patient in answering questions and explaining the process to us. I highly recommend them!
