1. Define the Beltsville response boundary before changing the phone path
If your firm serves Beltsville, decide which calls belong to the same intake path: calls from Beltsville, calls from elsewhere in Prince George's County, existing clients, prospective clients and callers outside your service area.
Recommended approach
Write the service-area language and routing rules your team actually uses. During a consultation, review whether the AI should collect location, practice area, urgency and contact details without promising representation or making a legal determination.
