1. Define the Augusta-Richmond County service boundary before writing questions
Augusta-Richmond County consolidated government (balance) is recorded as a municipality, while Richmond County is the recorded county relationship. Those labels should not be treated as interchangeable with a judicial circuit, a court class or every place a firm may serve. A visitor’s location can affect whether an inquiry belongs with your firm, but the population estimate does not establish how many people are looking for legal help or which practice areas they need.
Recommended approach
Start with the places and matter types your firm actually accepts. Decide whether the intake should ask for location, incident location, court location, residence or another legally relevant distinction. Keep geographic questions narrow enough to support routing, and have an attorney review wording that could be understood as legal advice or a representation decision.
