Recommended approach
Define the geographic scope in your intake and reporting deliberately. Decide whether a matter is categorized by the person’s location, the incident location, the court or service area, or another firm-defined rule. Then review whether the same routing and follow-up rules should apply to Canton inquiries and inquiries from the wider Madison County service area.
