1. Separate Sanford from Seminole County before evaluating fit
A caller may identify with Sanford, another Seminole County community, or a location outside the firm’s service area. Intake Coach is designed to coach on city versus county, so location can be handled as an intake question rather than an assumption. A sound rubric can ask for the incident, court, property, residence, or other legally relevant location when appropriate to the practice.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic distinctions your firm needs at intake. Decide which locations are in scope, which require attorney review, and which should be referred or declined. Ask staff to record the caller’s stated location and the reason that location matters instead of inferring service area from a phone number or a broad county label.
