1. Define the Plum service area before reviewing calls
Plum is recorded as a municipality in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Plum borough is 26,723, with a margin of error of 44. That is geographic and eligibility context—not evidence of call demand, legal need, competition, staffing requirements, or revenue. Your first decision is therefore operational: which calls should count as relevant to the firm’s Plum service area, and which calls require a different geographic or practice-area response?
Recommended approach
Set a clear review boundary for the consultation. You may want to distinguish Plum inquiries from calls involving other Allegheny County communities or matters outside the firm’s service area. Ask how the firm currently identifies location, jurisdiction, case type, deadlines, and attorney ownership during intake. Intake Coach’s public description says calls can be recorded, transcribed, tagged by case type, scored, and analyzed; confirm how those elements would be applied to your firm’s defined call flow.
