Emergency lists move 10 points of the LFR Score from reputation to availability: 15% and 15%. Availability credits 24/7 hours, same-day service, weekend hours and weekly open hours. 24/7 criminal defense lawyers are listed first, then same-day, then the rest; ranks follow that order. Paid placement never changes a rank.
Paid placement never changes a rank or score. Attorney advertising businesses are paid, labelled, limited to 3 and shown above the ranking, outside it.

| Review volume | 10% | Number of Google reviews, compared with the most-reviewed firm on the list |

| Availability | 15% | Weekly office hours, Saturday, Sunday, and phones answered 24/7 |
