1. Start with the calls your District Heights practice already receives
District Heights is recorded as a municipality in Prince George’s County, Maryland. The 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year population estimate for the city is 5,891, with a margin of error of 22. That is geographic context, not evidence of call volume, legal demand, lead quality, competition, or staffing needs. Your intake decision should therefore begin with your own conversations: which calls reach your firm, which are answered by staff, which require an attorney, and which end without a clear next step.
Recommended approach
Review a representative set of recent intake conversations and classify the moments that matter to your firm: identifying the matter, confirming contact information, recognizing urgency, explaining the next step, routing the call, and recording follow-up responsibility. Ask whether an intake review system would help you see those moments consistently rather than relying on memory or occasional supervision.
