Client testimonials

As a retired IRS Examination Revenue Agent, Group Manager and Field Branch manager I had very little coordination with the IRS Collection function. The presentation by the Frost Law Group was very enlightening and provided me with a background to identify pertinent issues and a potential resource for future client assistance. Thank you for a job well done in the presentation which was provided on the CPA Academy website. The time was well spent.

Michael-Bills M.

I had an excellent experience working with Frost Law, especially with Heather Posey. She expertly handled my complex tax situation with exceptional thoroughness, deep expertise, and unwavering professionalism. Heather went above and beyond to make sure I felt supported throughout the entire process, demonstrating true empathy for my concerns. I was impressed by how efficiently she completed my case in a very timely manner. I highly recommend Heather Posey and the entire Frost Law team to anyone seeking knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective assistance with tax issues.

Janet V.

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

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.

Precision

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.

Clarity

You need to understand your options

Legal jargon clouds judgment. I explain your situation plainly so you can make decisions with full knowledge of what's at stake.

Specialties

Six practice areas, one standard

The law doesn't fit neatly into boxes, but the problems people face do. I've spent years learning what works in each arena.

Criminal

Defense when the stakes run highest

The first hours after arrest determine everything. I know how to protect your rights when it matters most.

Family

Custody and divorce require clear thinking

Family law isn't about winning. It's about protecting what matters most to you and your children.

Business

Contracts and disputes demand precision

Most business problems start with unclear agreements. I help prevent them before they become costly litigation.

Appeals

Winning on appeal requires different strategy

Appeals aren't about retrying your case. They're about finding what was missed and making it matter.

Employment

Your rights at work deserve aggressive defense

Employers count on you not knowing your rights. I make sure you do and that they're protected.

White collar

Complex cases need someone who understands

Federal charges and financial crimes require specialized knowledge. I know how to navigate the details that prosecutors rely on.

Foundation

Decades of courtroom work shaped my approach

I've seen what wins cases and what doesn't. The difference lies in preparation, clarity, and the willingness to challenge every assumption. Your case deserves someone who knows the weight of these decisions.

Strategy that works

Every case demands a fresh look and a willingness to question everything.

Results matter most

What you need is someone who knows how to win and won't settle for less.

Direct and honest

No promises you can't keep, no strategies that don't serve your interests.
