1. Start with Lexington’s actual service boundary
The Census record identifies Lexington city as a municipality in Henderson County. That is a useful boundary question for intake: should the website ask where a visitor’s matter occurred, where the visitor lives, or whether the firm serves the matter regardless of location? The answer depends on your practice and cannot be inferred from the city’s population. A visitor from Lexington may have a matter elsewhere, while a Henderson County visitor may need a service your firm does not handle. Video Intake can be organized around case type and can capture the details your team needs before a conversation. The geographic question should therefore support eligibility review rather than imply that every Lexington visitor is a prospective client.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic screening rule during the review. Decide whether Lexington, Henderson County or another service area belongs in the first path, and identify the point at which a location answer should trigger review, referral or a request for more information.
