Just because a particular service is covered by MetLife does not mean Christopher must accept every client with a covered issue. His scope of practice does not include all covered services — no single lawyer could. Even within his practice areas, he may have too many clients at a given time to take on new matters.
Since you are looking at this website, Christopher assumes you are looking for a particular kind of lawyer. He is looking for a particular kind of client — one whose initial email simply and briefly states their issues and how they found him, who is willing to provide information as requested, who will read the draft estate plan before the Zoom meeting, and who is comfortable working via Zoom, DocuSign, and Zelle.
The standard forms themselves are of very little value — you can get forms for free online. The value is in understanding what everything in the process means, and how to use that understanding for the benefit of yourself and your family. Christopher's forms are continuously refined based on the questions and reactions of several thousand previous clients. The mistakes of previous clients are listed as warnings to future clients. No free boilerplate form can do that.
If, after initial information gathering, either party believes Christopher is not the best fit for your particular issues, he hopes both parties can agree to say so as soon as possible. He does not want unhappy clients — and works hard to prevent that from happening.
