1. Start with the Perris service area, not a population assumption
Define the geography your phone response is meant to serve: Perris itself, Riverside County more broadly, or another scope your firm actually accepts. Then identify whether callers from outside that scope should receive a different response or be routed for review. Bosseo states that its AI Answering service is built for law firm intake and can classify calls as Potential New Client, Current Client, or Other. That classification can help separate an accepted service-area inquiry from a call requiring a different owner, but your firm must decide the relevant rules.
Recommended approach
Write down the counties, cities, practice areas and matter types your firm accepts before evaluating the phone flow.
