1. Start with the footprint you can actually serve
Bosseo says firms can choose statewide coverage or limit the engine to selected counties. For an Albert Lea firm, that makes Freeborn County a practical boundary to review before considering all of Minnesota. The county relationship is documented; the population figure applies to Albert Lea city, not to every household, individual, or community in Freeborn County. Do not use the city estimate to imply that every resident is a prospective client. Instead, identify the places where your attorneys accept matters, can communicate with prospective clients, and can provide legally relevant local guidance.
Recommended approach
Bring Bosseo a service-area map based on actual representation decisions. Compare an Albert Lea-only scope with a Freeborn County scope, and document what would justify expanding beyond the county. Treat each option as a coverage hypothesis to review, not as a forecast of traffic or signed matters.
