Client testimonials

Outstanding webinar!

Rick B.

I contacted 6 law firms. Out of 6, I talked to 4 over the phone and 2 over email. Frost & associates, was the only one that listened closely, asked the appropriate questions during the consultation phase. Others were rushing, non attentive, and almost dismissive. Frost was the only one that made me felt heard and assured. After I decided to go with Frost, they were on top of everything, every single step of the way. Kept me in the loop, provided me with case updates regularly. They got my case dismissed before it even went to hearing.

Special Shout out to Nick Berger for doing an amazing job.

If I could, I would give them 10 stars out of 5.

Super kind and super helpful, they were patient with me all throughout knowing I was struggling to get by and never judged me for my past. Thank you frost law!!

Captain S.

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.

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!

We had the pleasure of working with Frost & Associates this year to prepare and file ERC returns. Everyone from their administrative staff to their paralegals and attorneys were friendly, professional and kept us informed every step of the way. Highly, highly recommend.
