1. Build the intake around the Garden City service area
The U.S. Census Bureau records Garden City as a municipality in Chatham County, Georgia, with a 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate of 10,426 and a margin of error of 25. Your intake should therefore avoid treating Garden City, Chatham County, a judicial circuit or a court class as interchangeable. Start with the people and matters your firm actually agrees to serve, then decide which geographic questions are necessary to evaluate fit.
Recommended approach
Define the service-area language and routing rules before drafting the survey. Decide whether Garden City is one location in a broader Chatham County service area, whether certain matters are limited by venue or client location, and which answers require attorney review.
