1. Make the Upper Milford service area explicit before reviewing calls
Upper Milford township is a municipal-town in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. That relationship matters when you decide which calls belong in the same intake view. A firm may serve Upper Milford while also receiving inquiries connected to the wider county or other locations, but the township’s population estimate does not tell you how many calls you receive or which matters you should accept. Start by defining the geographic questions your team actually asks: Is the caller located in Upper Milford? Is the incident or proceeding connected to Lehigh County? Does the firm serve the relevant jurisdiction? Intake Coach can then help you review whether those questions were asked and whether the next owner was clear.
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area rule to the consultation. Decide which geographic facts are qualification questions, which require attorney review, and which should trigger a referral or decline. Keep Upper Milford, Lehigh County, and Pennsylvania distinct in your intake language.
