Verified ClientHired Attorney 2022-2023Nick is very knowledgable regarding Maryland tax law and was effective when dealing the comptrollers office for my complicated tax refund issue. Will consult again if needed.

Hired Attorney 2023-2024Frost Law Firm, Christian Miller, and Nicholas Berger were very interested in receiving my retainer. Once the retainer was paid, they quickly drained it and billed me for work that they could not produce documentation or results. Nothing was ever produced or delivered and I had to fight just to get some of my retainer refunded. There was no documentation of any communication with Maryland State that I requested. Christian Miller would never return my calls and Nicholas Berger was very hostile and belligerent with my questioning of the theft of my retainer and did not have any recollection of my case despite billing me under his name. If you use this firm, expect theft and a very negative outcome. Will be communicating this with the Bar.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
