Hired Attorney 2019-2021Lynette Byrd handled my Medicare case with the utmost competence. I was in free fall with my case and receiving a lot of intimidating letters from CMS and when she took on my case she put a stop to that. This gave me so much peace of mind. Then she quickly summed up my issues with Medicare and was able to address my problem at the highest level of the federal system. She had the background and the knowledge to address my problem the correct way without any wasted effort....and, reached a very favorable outcome. Thanks so much Ms Byrd for being there for me!
