1. Use West Miami geography as an intake question, not a demand claim
West Miami is recorded as a municipality in Miami-Dade County. The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate for West Miami city is 7,162, with a margin of error of 21. That geographic fact should affect the intake rubric: a caller may identify with West Miami, another Miami-Dade community, or a broader service area. The population record does not establish legal need, call volume, competition, search behavior, or likely case value.
Recommended approach
Ask the firm to decide how staff should record city and county information without treating them as interchangeable. Intake Coach can be evaluated against a rubric that checks whether the conversation establishes the caller’s location, confirms whether the matter fits the firm’s service area, and routes a geographic mismatch for appropriate follow-up or decline handling. Review the wording with the responsible attorney before adoption.
