1. Start with the calls your Camas team cannot answer
Camas is a municipality in Clark County, Washington. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 27,007, with a margin of error of 41. That is geographic and eligibility context, not proof of call volume, legal need, competition, or missed opportunities. Your firm should therefore use its own call records rather than population as the basis for an answering decision. Review unanswered calls, voicemail messages, after-hours contacts, lunch coverage, holidays, and periods when several callers arrive at once. Bosseo describes AI Answering as a backstop: your team receives the first ring, and the AI steps in when nobody answers within 20 seconds. The service also describes coverage for nights, weekends, holidays, and overflow.
Recommended approach
Map the phone situations that matter to your Camas and Clark County practice before choosing a routing rule. Decide which calls should remain with staff, which should transfer to AI Answering, and which require an immediate human escalation. Use observed firm data, not the Camas population estimate, to set the review baseline.
