1. Route inquiries by the jurisdiction your firm actually serves
A Quincy inquiry should not be treated as automatically suitable merely because the person selected a nearby location or reached a local page. Automation can support routing by real jurisdiction, which gives your firm a way to distinguish an inquiry that fits the approved service area from one that needs review or a different response. The relevant geography must be defined by the firm. Quincy is in Gadsden County; that does not establish that your firm serves every person in the county, every Florida resident or any other metropolitan area. The routing rule should reflect your approved intake policy rather than an assumption based on city names.
Recommended approach
Write the jurisdiction rule in plain language before connecting systems. Identify the locations your firm accepts, the locations requiring attorney or staff review, and the response for an inquiry outside scope. Have the responsible attorney review the wording and any related public-facing advertising or intake statements. Do not use automation as a substitute for deciding whether the firm can undertake a matter.
