1. Start with the firm’s real Aurora service area
Bosseo describes a programmatic structure in which each legal service receives a dedicated page for each city in the chosen footprint. Bosseo says a firm can choose the whole state or only selected counties. For an Aurora firm, that makes Lawrence County a reviewable boundary rather than an automatic statewide mandate. Aurora’s recorded county relationship is Lawrence County, so the first decision is whether the firm’s actual service area matches Aurora alone, Lawrence County, or a broader Missouri footprint. It should therefore inform geographic definition, not serve as a demand forecast.
Recommended approach
List the cities and counties the firm can serve, then remove locations where the firm lacks a legitimate service connection. Compare an Aurora-only, Lawrence County, and broader Missouri scope during consultation. Choose the narrowest footprint that reflects the firm’s actual practice and capacity before considering expansion.
