1. Start with Hurricane’s actual service boundary
Hurricane is recorded in Putnam County, West Virginia. That relationship matters when you decide which callers, jurisdictions, and service areas belong in an intake review. It does not establish how many people call a law firm, which practice areas they need, or whether the firm requires more staff. During a review, separate callers seeking service in Hurricane from callers elsewhere in Putnam County or outside the firm’s intended geography. Then decide which geographic facts should be confirmed during intake and which should be escalated for attorney review.
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area definition to the consultation. Ask how your team would identify a caller’s location, jurisdiction, deadline, and matter type, and how those facts would appear in the call analysis.
