1. Start with the Whitman service area, not a population assumption
Your firm may serve people in Whitman while also handling matters from elsewhere in Plymouth County or Massachusetts. Those geographic relationships should be explicit in your intake design.
Recommended approach
Review whether your intake asks for location, county, jurisdiction and matter-specific eligibility in a way your staff can act on. Decide which answers should create a task, which should trigger a human review and which should simply remain attached to the inquiry. Keep Whitman and Plymouth County distinct wherever that distinction affects your service decision.
