I have been listening to Rebecca Sheppard give her weekly updates and explanations on the various small business grants and loans, tax benefits and other Covid-19 related changes during this pandemic. Her insights and most up to date information on how the new laws and relief packages affect lawyers and other small business owners in the US has been such an asset in getting through this time. Thanks to her guidance and assistance, so many law firms and small businesses were able to navigate the craziness and obtain PPP loans and other grants to help us through the pandemic. She also has assisted me individually, getting back to me right away with creative solutions and advice. I highly recommend Rebecca Sheppard at Frost Law Firm for any of your tax needs.

As the owner of a small business, I have faced many challenges and uncertainty during this time. Knowing that Rebecca is on top of the ever-changing laws and that she will impart the best advice has been tremendously comforting, informative, and helpful. Additionally, Rebecca has always been very responsive to questions and concerns as they have arisen. It is my pleasure to recommend Rebecca wholeheartedly and without reservation!
