1. Start with the calls your Sanford team actually handles
Sanford’s recorded relationship to Lee County can help you define the service area for your review, but it should not become a substitute for intake evidence. Review calls from Sanford, other parts of Lee County and any additional areas your firm intentionally serves. Separate location from qualification: a caller’s address does not establish whether the matter fits your practice, whether an attorney should review it or whether follow-up is required.
Recommended approach
Create a consistent geographic field in your intake review. Then compare how response paths differ by matter type and service area, without assuming that one group generates more opportunity. Ask whether staff confirms the caller’s contact details, jurisdiction, deadlines and requested service before deciding who owns the next step.
