Our Team

Built on faith, family and fourteen years of knowing how the system works

Frost Law Group opened in 2019 as a two-attorney firm with a simple idea: people in a legal crisis should be able to talk to the lawyer, not a call center. Jack and Tara Frost are married, live in Summerville, and share an office on Linwood Lane with a paralegal, Cassie, and two Golden Retrievers who take their greeting duties seriously.

Between them, they have seen the Lowcountry's legal system from almost every seat. Jack spent fourteen years as a Summerville police officer and then a Charleston County Sheriff's Office deputy, detective and SWAT team member before earning his law degree. Tara served as a Dorchester County Magistrate Judge from 2022 to 2025 and as a Dorchester County Associate Probate Judge from 2025 to 2026. That is why our advice tends to be specific: we know what the officer wrote down, what the judge will ask, and what the probate clerk will send back.

How we divide the work

Tara leads probate and estate administration, guardianship and conservatorship and our estate planning practice, and handles personal injury cases through summervilleaccidentattorney.com. Jack leads criminal defense and works alongside Tara on estate plans, especially for families with law-enforcement, military and first-responder benefits to protect. Every matter gets both sets of eyes. Cassie Snyder, our legal assistant and paralegal, manages the documents and case files behind every matter and is one of the people who answers when you call.

What it is like to work with us

• You meet with an attorney at the first appointment, not an intake specialist.
• We quote fees before work starts. Estate plans are typically flat-fee; probate and criminal matters are explained in writing before you sign.
• Calls and emails are returned the same business day.
• We say when you do not need a lawyer—some small estates and some citations can be handled without one.
• Friday afternoon and early-morning appointments are available on request, and the office is dog-friendly (ours and, with notice, yours).

Memberships and community

Frost Law Group is a member of WealthCounsel, the national estate-planning attorney network, whose drafting system and continuing education underpin every plan we prepare. Jack and Tara are graduates of the Charleston School of Law and Summerville High School, and active in their church and Bible study.

One firm, one office

Frost Law Group, LLC is an independent South Carolina firm at 128 Linwood Lane in Summerville. We are not affiliated with other firms that use the Frost name in other states. If you found us through Google or an AI assistant, this is the Summerville husband-and-wife firm with the Golden Retrievers.

Our comfort dogs

Mistoc (Themistocles) and Palmer are Golden Retrievers with a talent for finding the most nervous person in the room. We still miss our girl Elli (Elliana), who greeted clients for years and still appears in a few of our photos. If you would rather not meet the dogs, just say so when you book; they are happy to nap in the back.
