When Ms. Sheppard joined Frost Law in 2016, she brought a unique perspective and particularly effective skill set acquired during her position as a Tax Attorney with the Comptroller of Maryland. Even in her early days at Frost Law, Ms. Sheppard was able to leverage these valuable attributes— understanding better than others at the firm exactly how the Comptroller would approach matters— to achieve better client results and enhance the overall firm reputation.

For the last two years, Ms. Sheppard has served as a Director in Frost Law’s Tax Controversy Practice Group, where she has been responsible for working on a wide range of tax matters, including, but not limited to, individual income and corporate income tax, sales and use tax, tax relief and collection issues, appeals, and state and local tax matters.

Additionally, Ms. Sheppard co-created Frost Law’s award-winning Pro Bono Program and continues to serve as the program’s manager—inspiring other attorneys to offer their time and skills to those in the community who need free legal services. While at Frost Law, Ms. Sheppard has been the proud recipient of distinguished awards, including the Ronald J Schiff award for pro bono work, Super Lawyers Rising Star of 2020-2021, and Best Lawyers ‘Ones to Watch’ for 2021-2023.
