Start with Harvey’s actual service area, not assumptions about demand
The 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimate records 20,915 residents, with a margin of error of 1,637. Your firm should decide whether its answering rules apply to callers in Harvey only, throughout Jefferson Parish, elsewhere in Louisiana or across a wider service area. The answer affects the firm profile used for practical questions and the way your team reviews incoming matters.
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area description to a consultation. Identify which callers should be treated as prospective clients, current clients or other contacts, and note any location questions that require a lawyer or staff member rather than an automated answer.
