Frost Law Firm, PC is dedicated to helping others. That’s why our mesothelioma law firm is starting an academic scholarship to help students get their education. We’re offering a $1,000 scholarship for first year college students and students planning on attending their first year of college because we understand how the cost of higher education can prevent students from achieving their goals.
