My best story is the time that we came in to argue post-trial motions, and the judge comes out and holds up the other side’s brief and looks at me and says, “Padway, this looks to me like their opening brief on appeal.” And he turns to the other side and says, “But you know that was an awfully persuasive closing argument that Mr. Padway made.” A little while later, out in the hall, the opposing counsel confessed to me that her brief had been, in fact, written by one of the best appellate lawyers in the state. And I laughed and said, “Well, guess who wrote my closing?”

Sondra is a quick study and an extraordinarily talented writer. After only one brief meeting, she drafted an engaging, informative speech on LifeSize’s cutting-edge video-conferencing technology that I was proud to deliver to a gathering of my colleagues in Boston. She is professional, reliable and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her.

Sondra absorbs information quickly and is a capable researcher, in addition to an innovative writer. With no prior knowledge of the industry and the benefit of only one meeting with me and a preliminary outline of key issues, she drafted an excellent article on energy trading that I was proud to have published under my byline in World Energy magazine. I highly recommend her.
