Current Co-Worker | Nov 8, 2023
Lynette joined my team at two different companies over the past two years. She has participated in several representation cases and exhibits remarkable compassion for clients. Her attention to detail is well-valued and shows the patience she has in resolving cases. This is such an important skill to have when dealing with difficult engagements. When you choose a professional to handle your case, you not only need technical knowledge, but a person who cares deeply about your emotional well-being. Lynette is a talented CPA and taxpayers would be fortunate to have her working on their resolution case.

Worked on Case Together | Nov 28, 2023
In 2019, I hired Lynette to investigate a $1.6 million embezzlement that was concealed from the business owners for over ten years. Through diligent and creative analysis, Lynette was able to confirm that funds had been embezzled and the amount embezzled. The owners were shocked. The embezzler was prosecuted and with the evidence Lynette prepared and her presence at the courthouse to testify, the embezzler entered into a plea agreement that included a guilty plea (instead of "no contest"). Lynette is available, easy to work with, and is a very capable forensic accountant. I will hire Lynette again.
