1. Start with the Thomas service area, not a population assumption
Thomas is a municipal town in Saginaw County, Michigan. Those questions belong in a phone review. Map the geographic language your firm actually uses: Thomas, Saginaw County, nearby communities and any broader Michigan service area. Then decide whether callers should be asked where an incident occurred, where they live, where a court matter is pending, or whether the firm serves the matter at all.
Recommended approach
Use the Thomas–Saginaw County relationship to make the phone greeting and qualification conversation geographically precise. Do not use the 11,900 estimate as a forecast. Review recent call records, missed calls and staff coverage before choosing routing or escalation rules.
