1. Start with the Hammond service boundary
Hammond is recorded as a municipality in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana. That relationship matters when you decide what the intake should ask about location. A firm may serve Hammond, the wider parish or another defined service area; those are not interchangeable. The city’s population estimate does not establish who needs legal help, which practice areas are sought or how many visitors will complete a survey. Video Intake can be organized by case type, but your team still needs to define the geographic fit it is willing to review.
Recommended approach
Write the service-area rule in plain language before building questions. Decide whether location is an early qualification question, a routing field or a matter for staff review. Keep Hammond and Tangipahoa Parish distinct in the intake and in later reporting. Do not use population as a forecast.
