Highly Recommend Mr. Frost

Mr. Frost has been my attorney since 2009 in a very difficult divorce. He is extremely knowledgeable and was able to guide me through the process to a successful divorce agreement. I highly recommend Mr. Frost and his staff. L. R.

Not Happy

Frost is the reason that there are lawyer jokes out there. He had me sign a poorly written order that ended up having me need to find a new lawyer to fix his mistakes. He is practically impossible to get a hold of and when he is available he rounds all the time up in order to charge more. He worked f...or me for about three months and charged me more than three other lawyers have in the past combined. I wasn't at all happy with his in court presentation either. He stutters and allows himself to be completely walked on by the other attorneys involved. I would not recommend him to anyone and will not ever use him again.

The best

Frost is the best lawyer. Do not heed the comment below, written in poor taste and lacking grammatical structure. You, sir or ma'am, gave no indication of the scope of the legal work or what your case entailed specifically. Maybe he charged more than the past combined because it required more work? O...r maybe the last time you employed a lawyer was in the 1970's, and I hate to break it to you, but prices adjust. I hate reading anonymous, negative messages that could adversely impact a small business owner. You're a coward, making unsubstantiated claims and hiding behind the veil of the internet. You have no basis and lack the intelligence to consider any situation besides your own. Get lost. I have never had a problem getting a hold of Frost. In fact, we often communicated late into the night via e-mail -- proof that he works around the clock and always had my best interest at heart. With regards to his court appearance, he was extremely professional and eloquent. He did NOT allow the other lawyer to walk on him, and completely commanded the room. My legal battle was regarding child custody, and when push came to shove, he championed me without hesitation. Frost's thought process, ethics, and practice methods are sound. I would recommend him to anyone because he will make your battle his own.
