1. Start with Lacey service coverage, not population assumptions
Lacey is recorded as a municipal-town in Ocean County, New Jersey. That relationship can inform the geographic wording around your intake: you may want visitors to identify the municipality, county, or another service area that matters to your firm. It does not establish that residents are searching for counsel, that a particular practice area is in demand, or that a given number of people will complete a survey. A useful intake begins with your actual eligibility rules. Decide whether location is an initial screening question, a routing field, or simply information for later review. Keep Lacey, Ocean County and any broader New Jersey service area distinct in the questions and in your internal ownership rules.
Recommended approach
Review your engagement geography before writing the flow. Define which locations require attorney review, which can be handled by another team member, and which fall outside your stated service area. Use the consultation to examine whether location belongs near the beginning of the survey or after the visitor has explained the matter.
