I just wanted to take a few moments to thank you and your firm for lending us the services of Missy Sandberg while one of our attorneys was on sabbatical. Missy came in and hit the ground running, adding tremendous value right off the bat and taking the load off of our already overloaded attorneys. But more than that, Missy immediately meshed with everyone on the team and fit right in. She is intelligent, articulate, and professional in everything she does. But she is also incredibly warm, kind, and engaging on a personal level. She made significant contributions to our team throughout the time she was here, and we could not be happier with how it worked out. You should be very proud of the way that Missy represented your firm during the time she spent with our company. We will miss her and hope to work with her again in the future.
