Her efforts have allowed her to recover significant refunds for many small and medium-sized businesses around the country.

Rebecca previously worked for the Comptroller of Maryland as a tax attorney in the Hearings and Appeals Section.

Client testimonials

Very professional organization! Quick to respond to all questions. Very thorough and conscious of my bottom line. Highly recommend Frost Law, especially Rebecca Sheppard.

Mary I.

Rebecca and her team at Frost Law were amazing. We met randomly through an online COVID business development series of webinars and she was so impressive, that I decided that I could trust her with my ERC filings. They did what was needed swiftly and professionally. I am in California and she in Maryland and there were no issues with that. I highly recommend Rebecca and her team for your tax needs even if she is in Maryland. I have even referred a client to her for another issue.

Barbara K.

I attended the webinar with Peter & Rebecca, and they were very thorough with the delivery and their knowledge base of the subject matter. Very eager to assist you and your clients, they have an open-door policy and stated several times if you need any specifics just shoot them an email. Definitely clarified areas of uncertainty with all the "opportunist" spreading false and gimmick appealing information to taxpayers. I would recommend any professional or interested taxpayer to seek their advice and guidance.

Trinity Financial Solutions

Really helpful and timely CPE on IRS Circular 230, thank you!

Client testimonials

Frost Law is Amazing! They helped me personally get ahold of my finances and get a fresh start. They were friendly and courteous, and patient enough to work with a financially illiterate 60 year old male. I would recommend them to anyone. If they can help me they can help anyone.

Lenny M.

Frost Law conducted a webinar that high-lighted the anticipated changes of the pending Tax legislation. It's a murky situation so their insights were very helpful.

Richard W.

Exceptionally well presented and chock full of useful information

Albert S.

I found all of the various staff that I interacted with to be exceptionally helpful and understanding of my limited technical abilities on some of the functions that were required to process my Employee Retention Credit claim. I would recommend this firm to any business or individual needing legal advice! Mike Roach/co-owner of Paloma Clothing for the past 50 years.
