1. Define the service area before building the questions
Burlington is recorded as a municipality in Wisconsin. The Census record places the city in Racine County and Walworth County. That relationship is a planning fact, not proof of legal demand, search activity or client volume. It does mean your firm should decide whether the intake is intended for Burlington residents only, for people elsewhere in Racine County or Walworth County, or for a broader Wisconsin service area. A visitor’s location may affect whether the firm can accept the matter, assign it to an office or refer it elsewhere.
Recommended approach
Write the geographic eligibility rules in plain language before choosing the question path. Decide what a visitor must disclose about location, incident location or opposing-party location, and identify the person responsible for reviewing an out-of-area inquiry. Keep county coverage separate from city coverage in the intake and in later reporting.
