1. Start with the New Providence–Union County relationship
New Providence is a municipality in Union County, New Jersey. That exact relationship matters because a county-limited program should distinguish New Providence from the rest of Union County and from the wider state. A firm may serve the borough, additional Union County communities, selected municipalities elsewhere in New Jersey, or a broader footprint. Those are different coverage choices. The Census estimate of 13,727 residents describes the borough’s population, not the number of people searching for a lawyer or the number of potential matters. It should therefore inform geographic definition, not serve as a demand forecast.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to model at least two defensible scopes for review: New Providence and relevant Union County municipalities, and a broader New Jersey footprint if the firm genuinely accepts matters beyond the county. Approve a location only when the firm can explain its service area, intake eligibility, and the useful local information a page would provide.
