Attorney Nicholas Berger was a beacon of hope at a time when my tax situation appeared hopeless, and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed close on impossible. Not only was he able to represent me against an institution (IRS and the State of Maryland) that tends to have no qualms about taking away the livelihood of a citizen with limited means, his calm and empathetic approach towards me was an emotional relief. I am eternally grateful for his service, and I, at this moment, recommend Mr. Nicholas Berger without reservation.

Summer M.

I worked with Attorney Nicholas Berger to resolve a complex set of tax issues. I appreciate that he we forthright and honest throughout the process. At no time did he make any false promises, once he knew the entirety of what we were facing, he let me know the options. I must say that without his help, I would have never been able to settle the issue on my own. Mr Berger routinely updated me on the status of my case which eased my stress level. This is a very professional operation and everyone from the receptionist to the billing department were helpful and kind. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone in need of tax litigation.

Frost Law has genuine people who really want to help! They listened to my needs and took their time to review all of my questions and put me at ease with my case. In short, they care!

Aklima H.

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!

Lynn B.

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.

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.
