1. Start with Montgomery’s actual service boundary
The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 23,841, with a margin of error of 50. Video Intake should therefore be configured around the people and matters your firm actually serves—not around an assumed market size. Decide whether the intake is intended for Montgomery only, Somerset County more broadly, or another New Jersey service area your firm states publicly. If location affects whether you review a matter, make that a clear qualification question rather than leaving staff to infer it from an incomplete message.
Recommended approach
Bring your service-area boundaries and any location-based acceptance rules to the consultation. Review whether the intake should ask where the matter occurred, where the visitor is located, or both. Keep Montgomery, Somerset County and New Jersey distinct in the wording.
