1. Start with Rittman’s actual service boundary
That geographic fact can help your firm define which callers belong in the first response path, but it does not establish call demand, legal need, competition, or likely revenue. Your intake rules should therefore identify the locations and matter types your firm actually accepts rather than treating every caller connected to Rittman as a qualified prospective client.
Recommended approach
Use the consultation to map your service area explicitly: Rittman, the counties your firm serves, and any additional Ohio locations you accept. Decide which location details should be captured from every prospective client and which callers should be directed elsewhere. Keep county, city, household, and individual information separate in your intake records.
