1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Firebaugh is recorded as a municipality in Fresno County. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 8,392 residents, with a margin of error of 39. That population figure is context for service-area planning; it does not establish legal demand, search behavior, case volume or staffing requirements. Your firm may serve Firebaugh alone, Fresno County more broadly, or a wider California area. Those are different operating choices, and the intake should not imply a broader service area than the firm accepts.
Recommended approach
Write the geographic rule into the intake review: which Firebaugh matters are eligible, whether other Fresno County locations are eligible, and when a visitor outside the accepted area should be referred or declined. Test the wording on mobile before publishing it. Do not infer language preference, call volume or legal need from the population estimate.
