I was in need of assistance with a daunting tax issue, and Nicholas Berger, Esq. handled my case and fully resolved the issue for me with tremendous competence and compassion. I highly recommend Frost and Associates for any type of tax resolution.

I cannot begin to say how many wonderful things I have to say about Frost & Associates. My first encounter with this organization years ago was positive Beyond belief. I came to this organization with tax problems. I was afraid and anxious. Their coaching, guidance, and leadership quickly put me at ease. We expeditiously solved problems to get to a solution that was positive for me, the organization, and the Internal Revenue Service. Their commitment to duty, attention to detail, and Customer Service met all of my expectations. The personal service from Nicholas Berger brings great credit upon himself into this organization

John G.

Frost and Associates is by far the best and most knowledgeable Tax Law Firm in Maryland. We had a very complicated business tax matter that we discussed with many firms in the region. Several of those firms didn't even understand the law relating to our situation. We then met with Glen Frost who took the time to fully understand our situation and even gather further information on our behalf, even before we had retained the firm. Glen Frost and our primary attorney Nick Berger worked tirelessly to get us the desired result even when other firms said it was not possible. We cannot say enough good things about this firm and should we ever have any tax issues again in the future, there is no question whose counsel we will seek.

Frost Law was recommended by a personal friend who is a Lawyer as well but specializes in a different field than what I needed. Beginning with my introduction call the office staff were incredibly patient and helpful in getting me to a business tax specialist and setting a meeting promptly. My situation seemed very bleak to me since it had been years since it needed to be addressed and frankly I was considerably embarrassed having left an open tax account for so long. Nicolas Berger was the Attorney who introduced himself and took my case. He never made me feel ashamed for my situation and gathered information encouraging me to wait patiently while he explored options to clear my long overdue tax situation keeping me informed along the way. It wasn't long before he had the matter resolved for such a reasonable amount and completely cleared my problem. I'll highly recommend Nicholas Berger and the Frost Law team who helped me for anyone needing such competent representation!!!

Very knowledgeable and friendly

I’ve worked with various individuals at Frost and Associates over the past four years. To the person, I couldn’t have been happier with their representation. There have been many complicated issues, and they’ve always taken the time and patience to explain same to me. I’ve probably recommended them to three or four of my friends.

Roy K.

Frost Law has a great team assembled with expertise in most any issue you may face.

Gil M.

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.
