no written engagement agreement for the transaction

I had a very disappointing experience working with this attorney on a real estate closing. What I expected to be a routine transaction turned into a dispute over legal fees. There was no written engagement agreement for the transaction, and the billing structure was not clearly explained beforehand.... A few days before closing, I was informed of a fee that was significantly higher than what many other lawyers typically charge for a real estate transaction. When I questioned the charges, the situation escalated into a legal dispute. The matter ultimately went to court, which was stressful, time-consuming, and expensive. While the court made its decision, the overall experience left me feeling that communication about fees should have been much clearer from the beginning. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that anyone hiring this attorney for a real estate transaction make sure that the fee structure is clearly documented in writing before any work begins.

Easement issue & Real Estate transaction

My wife & I have used Mr. Frost on numerous occasions. He has always been wonderful to work with. Very professional & courteous, he kept us informed through every step of the transactions. A genuine guy who takes pride in his work.

Will, Property sale, Prenuptial Agreement

I have used Mr. Frost's services to prepare my will, my prenuptial agreement, and a property sale. In all instances, he exceeded my expectations in spending the time and effort to draft the necessary documents. The prenuptial agreement, especially, required thoughtful and thorough attention. I foun...d Mr. Frost to be knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. His office staff was courteous and efficient. I would recommend Jacob Frost to anyone in this area requiring the services of an attorney.

Business start up

Mr. Frost was very helpful to my family on several occasions. He was very professional in his guidance and consultation when starting my own business and in dealing with the loss of a family member.

School annexation

My husband and I hired Jacob Frost to help us with a school annexation case. He took the time and explained everything to us ahead of time. Throughout the pendency of our case, whenever we had questions or concerns regarding our case, he always responded promptly. We felt he genuinely cared about us ...and our case. We appreciate his hard work on a favorable outcome.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
