Use Melrose Park geography to define intake scope, not demand
Your firm may serve people in Melrose Park while operating elsewhere in Cook County or Illinois. Those are different geographic relationships, and the intake process should record the caller’s location rather than treat the municipality as proof of eligibility. A call from Melrose Park may still require questions about the matter’s jurisdiction, dates, deadlines, opposing parties, or the location of an incident. The population estimate for Melrose Park is useful for identifying the municipality you want to serve; it cannot tell you how many legal inquiries your firm receives or whether additional intake capacity is justified.
Recommended approach
Review whether your intake conversation captures the caller’s municipality, the relevant jurisdiction, and the facts needed for an attorney’s review. Ask Bosseo to show how those facts appear in a call summary and coaching report. Keep geographic eligibility separate from assumptions about demand or staffing.
