1. Set the geographic boundary before reviewing intake
Argentine township is recorded in Genesee County, Michigan. A firm may serve Argentine, other parts of Genesee County or a broader Michigan area, but those are different geographic choices. Intake questions should make that distinction visible. A caller from Argentine may be within the firm’s intended service area, while another caller elsewhere in Michigan may require a different eligibility decision. Population records describe the township; they do not show how many people call a law firm, what matters they have or whether the firm needs more staff.
Recommended approach
Write the geographic questions your intake team should ask and the ownership rule for each answer. Review whether the team records the caller’s location, the relevant jurisdiction and the firm’s next action. Do not treat Argentine’s population estimate as a forecast of calls or cases.
