Client testimonials

I had a great experience working with the Frost team. Zach and Rebecca were very helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. They will be my first call when I need their services again.

First and foremost, I want to extend my sincere thanks to Mr. Glen Frost for reaching out to me over a weekend several months ago. At the time, I was extremely stressed about a serious tax issue I was facing. After some time, I was assigned to Mr. Lyda, the attorney who worked with me to establish a productive relationship with a new Revenue Officer at the IRS. Zachary was able to communicate with the RO in a clear, professional, and intelligent manner—quite the contrast to my earlier interactions with her predecessor, during which I often became flustered and unable to express myself effectively.

Thanks to Mr. Frost’s initial outreach and Mr. Lyda’s steady guidance, my case has made significant progress, and I finally feel a sense of relief and confidence that the matter is being handled properly. I am deeply appreciative of the patience, professionalism, and genuine care that both of them demonstrated throughout this process.

Please extend my gratitude to the entire team for their continued support and commitment to helping clients like me through difficult situations.

I recommend this firm absolutely. Zachary was amazing, answered all my emails, was in constant contact with statuses, everything you expect in a good service. Under promised and over delivered. Would use them again with no doubts. A+

Carmen S.

I can say with absolute confidence that Zachary Lyda, Esq., one of the associates at Frost & Associates, LLC, is an attorney whom I would heartily recommend to anybody in need of a tax attorney. Incredibly knowledgeable and precise in a field in which both traits are in short supply.

Mike

I've had the privilege to work with several attorneys with Frost Law. Every attorney has been technically proficient and provided solutions to our work. Our matter was resolved by Zachary Lyda! Highly recommend!

Lynn B.

Very communicative and no use of "legaleze" to describe tax situations/complexities!

Keith M.

When you are having an issue with the IRS, you need professional help to communicate with the right person within the IRS that can help you with your situation. Unfortunately I was not able to find that person and my situation continued to drag on for months. I would communicate by letter and also attempted to use the phone but to no avail. The IRS did not quit working my case and their letters indicated they were getting stronger in demands.

I found Frost Law Firm paid a reasonable retainer, and they were working my case within days. I was very impressed with their contacts within the IRS and how they represented me. Lauren Mata was my attorney and she was very diligent, great at follow up and did everything she said she would do.

My case was settled not long ago, to my benefit as we were able to prove that our position was correct. Whereas I did not have the credibility with the IRS, Frost and Lauren Mata did. I believe I received good value for what I was charged.

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.

Writing

Thoughts on the law

Practical insight for your case and situation

Arrest and your constitutional rights

What happens in those first critical hours

Protecting custody when relationships end

Your children deserve a parent who planned ahead

Why contracts fail and how to prevent it

How to win when the first trial didn't

Appeals are about finding what was overlooked before

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.
