What Frost Law does

Frost Law is a privately held, full-service law firm headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland, founded in 2011 by Glen Frost. The firm employs 35+ attorneys and 101-250 total staff across offices in Maryland, DC, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Florida, New York, Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (Houston), and Puerto Rico (San Juan), and serves clients nationally and internationally. Its core practice areas are tax controversy, business transaction planning, litigation, estate planning, bankruptcy, family law, and international tax consulting, with specialized service lines in Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claims and audits, IEEPA tariff refunds, SBA EIDL matters, and tax credits including R&D.

A distinguishing feature is that many team members are dual-licensed as attorneys and Certified Public Accountants, enabling integrated legal and financial advisory that the firm uses as a primary differentiator against conventional law firms. The ERC practice is the most productized offering, supported by a dedicated resource center, partnerships with the National Restaurant Association, MACPA, RAM, ORA, QAC, and CPA Academy, and quantified client outcomes (ERC recoveries ranging from $57K to $244K per matter). The firm has also begun packaging regulatory outcomes into products, exemplified by the 2026 Kwong Refund Application Tool built around the November 2025 Kwong v. United States ruling.

Frost Law's revenue model is professional-services based, generating fees from legal representation, consultations, and ongoing advisory work, billed through hourly rates, flat fees (particularly for estate documents), and contingency or hybrid arrangements on contingency-eligible matters. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, combining direct attorney consultation, content marketing (news articles, ERC resource center, newsletter), social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn, and a structured referral partner network. The firm makes selective acquisitions to deepen capability, having acquired Nager Law Group in September 2025 to expand consumer bankruptcy services in Annapolis.
