Recommendation for a lawyer experienced with O-1 cases

Here are few ideas...
Hello there,
I've done my O1 (original and extension) through a university on my own and it was quite easy really (looks tough though)-well the university signed the final forms and cover letter (quite benign really).
True in O1 you cannot self-petition, but you can prepare every thing and give it to whoever is in charge at your employer (they must have someone in charge for these things). Other wise you’ll have to pick a lawyer from the net (ask them lots of tough questions about similar cases, if they have experiences with O), before working with them, etc…) ****
My understanding is that a lawyer is not really needed, adds nothing to your chances of getting approved (especially true for O1 and similar), cost lots of money and sometimes (due to lack of experience and believe me many lawyers lack experiences and only want money!) might even jeopardize your case.
As such you’re better off doing it on your won or at least getting every thing organized and ready yourself and it is not that hard, provided you qualify.
In my case, I read thoroughly about O1 requirements, asked on the net (you’re doing that already) and collected every thing possible that might help my case (publications, patents, letters of recommendation they are the most crucial). The rest of paper (job offer, description, CV, etc….) should be routine stuff and done by your employer.
Sorry I do not have a particular name to offer, but trust me if you believe you qualify you’ll get it. Make a good case with lots of detailed organized and convincing information (again especially letters of recommendation, they are almost the only one thing that will make or break your case-In my case I got close to 20 form very reputable scientists with few from other countries)
Good luck,
***: Example question should be like:
How many O1 did you work on, rate of success, why the failure.
