1. Start with the geography your firm can genuinely serve
Bosseo describes a footprint that can cover a whole state or only selected counties. For a Victoria firm, Carver County is the recorded county relationship for the city. That makes county-based scoping a concrete option to examine when statewide coverage would exceed the firm’s service area. Victoria should not be treated as shorthand for every household or individual in Carver County, and Carver County should not be treated as the entire metropolitan market. The Census population record establishes the municipality and county relationship; it does not show where prospective clients search or whether a particular legal service has demand.
Recommended approach
Define the service area before discussing page count. List the cities and counties where the firm accepts matters, distinguish Victoria from the broader Carver County footprint, and decide whether statewide coverage is appropriate. Ask Bosseo to show how the selected geography would map to the firm’s actual services rather than using population as a demand forecast.
