Car Accident 30%

When you're injured, you need a Trial Lawyer, not just any lawyer. We have handled a wide variety of injury and malpractice cases, ranging from automobile crashes, to slip-and-fall, to construction site injury, to dog bite cases, and all types of cases in between. We also handle catastrophic injury and medical malpractice cases.

Criminal Defense 20%

I am well versed in charges of murder, drug charges, forgeries, rapes, assaults, robberies, burglaries, and DWI. We are also well versed in misdemeanor matters, such as harassment, simple assault, and all traffic matters.

20%
DUI and DWI 20%

DUI/DWI is a very technical area of the law. Did you know you are not legally required to use your turn signal coming out of a parking lot, and if the police pull you over for that, the DWI charge must be dismissed? A local police agency and local DA's office now knows that, because of our work.

20%
Sex Crime 20%

Those accused of sex crimes are treated differently, even though they haven't been convicted of anything yet. You need an experienced trial attorney to stand in front of you as your shield against unjust accusations. That's what we do.

30 years

20%
Federal Crime 10%

Federal crimes are unlike any other because of the power of the federal government to come after you. You need an attorney who regularly handles federal cases, and who the feds know will take them to trial, if you want the best possible result.

Arthur Frost - would highly recommend

Arthur Frost handled a very delicate legal situation for our family with a degree of professionalism, expertise and empathy not often seen in the legal system. The outcome was the best we could have ever hoped for. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal services in New York.

Attorneys That Go Above and Beyond!

I recently needed to hire an attorney for a sensitive matter. I sent emails to numerous attorneys and Art Frost replied to me and provided me immediately with guidance and best case scenarios. He was also realistic and gave me the worst case scenario as well. Art met with me in person and spent time ...with me discussing the case and the circumstances. He was kind, considerate, professional and really put my mind at ease that he could resolve this matter in a timely fashion. The outcome was a best case scenario and it is now behind me. Art and his partner David worked with me and kept me informed every step of the way. Will definitely recommend them always!

Phone Consult prior to Retaining

Today was the 2nd time this year that I've spoken to Mr. Frost regarding questions on a sensitive case for my son. On both occasions, Mr. Frost listened, explained and was so kind. My husband and I definitely plan to hire him and are confident that he will provide stellar representation.

Strongly recommend

My nephew ended up criminally charged in a situation resulting from his intellectual disability in which he did not realize the consequences of his words. It appeared that his future was going be derailed. Art was able to get the best possible outcome for my nephew. It took some patience but Art was ...able to get us there. We are grateful and relieved.

Art Frost of Frost & Kavanaugh

When we found ourselves needing a criminal attorney for our son, we interviewed several Attorneys in the area and when we met with Mr. Frost, he immediately put us at ease and reassured us that everything would be ok. We knew right away that our son would be treated fairly and would be given the bes...t representation possible. Mr. Frost listened to our concerns and with his assistance our son was treated as a youthful offender which was extremely important to us. The entire staff at Frost & Kavanaugh treated us with respect and kindness. We’re hoping that we do not, but if we ever need assistance with a criminal matter or any other matter we will certainly be reaching out to Mr. Frost once again. If you are ever in need of a highly competent professional who truly knows how the court system works and who is warm and compassionate, then Art Frost is the attorney you are looking for.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
