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.

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.

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.

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.

Very Helpful

I had the pleasure to have Art represent myself in dealing with my case. He took the time to understand what had taken place and be concerned with even what seemed to be the smallest of details. He was able to work with the prosecution team and negotiate a very favorable plea. He has also answered so...me related questions to the outcome and what it may affect. I would have no issue in looking for his help once again.

The Frost & Kavanaugh Law Firm

Art & Co. has represented me in dealing with a divorce and employee situation at my business. Art was well informed on all the legalities & issues of my cases. Taking the time to explain to me in detail, in terms a client can understand, what was the necessary course to take and how to proceed f...rom start to finish. Extremely professional and knowledgeable on the necessary proceedings required to deal with my case. I would not hesitate to contact/hire Art for any legal issue I have; both professional and personal.
