1. Start with Dallas’s actual service area
The Census Bureau records Dallas township as a municipal-town in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 9,227 and a margin of error of 46. That is geographic and eligibility context, not evidence of legal demand, search activity, case volume, staffing requirements or revenue. For Video Intake, the practical decision is to define the audience by the territory your firm actually serves. A Dallas-focused page may need a different path from an inquiry originating elsewhere in Luzerne County or outside the firm’s accepted service area.
Recommended approach
Before configuring questions, write the service-area rule in plain language. Decide whether the first location question should ask where the incident, property, opposing party or potential client is located. Decide which answers should lead to review, referral, a request for more information or a notice that the firm cannot assist. Review those choices with counsel so the intake does not imply representation or make a legal determination.
