Just to confirm, this fee= dback came from a lawyer who chose not to proceed with our service due to concerns about the wording of the consent agreement. However, this individual is not my lawyer or a current client, but rather an example of why some potential clients may be hesitant to sign the agreement. That said, he did provide a suggestion for revising the wording, which may help address this issue moving forward. It could be worth reviewing his recommendations to see if they align with our agreement. Please let me know if I=E2=80=99ve understood that correctly.
