1. Set the service-area boundary before judging an intake call
International Falls is a municipality in Koochiching County, Minnesota. The first useful review is whether your intake team records where a caller is located, where the incident occurred, which court or jurisdiction may matter, and whether the firm can serve the matter. A city-and-county service boundary can make those questions more important than a generic “How did you hear about us?” prompt.
Recommended approach
Bring your actual service-area rules to a consultation. Decide which location facts belong in the first conversation, which matters need attorney review, and which callers should receive a clear next step when the firm is not the right fit.
