1. Start with the Golden Gate service area you actually serve
The available location evidence identifies Golden Gate CDP and its relationship to Collier County. It does not establish that your firm serves every person in the CDP, every part of the county or any particular metropolitan area. Define the geographic scope in your own intake decisions rather than allowing a form to imply coverage you have not confirmed. A visitor should be able to explain where the matter occurred or where assistance is sought, while your team retains responsibility for deciding whether the inquiry fits the firm’s service area.
Recommended approach
Review the geographic questions that belong in each practice-area path. Decide whether location should be asked early or only when it affects eligibility, and specify the human follow-up for people outside your confirmed scope. Do not use the population estimate as a forecast of inquiries or cases.
