I send my lawyer's info to your mailbox. Almost all lawyers provide free evaluation. For my lawyer, overall I am happy with him, he's very professional, I never had to call him, he always replys emails within 24 hours, mostly within 1 or 2 hours. All I did was to send him a research summary (~10 pages), and he drafted reference letters (I basically changed nothing) and petition letter (I added some major-specific analytical information). But he's very expensive (I spent $7500 lawyer fee for 140, and I think the fee increases every year). He's picky about the cases too, I think he only takes cases with good chance. I am not against DIY, but for me, spending some $$ to hire a good lawyer to guide me through the whole process helped a lot, so I can focus on improving my resume (I got ~10 new publications and ~80 new citations last year).
