Clarissa, pm received and thank you so much for all the advice. You are indeed a fountain of knowledge on that side of things and I will keep you updated with a progress report on how everything is going. Is everything now sorted out on your end or did it go deeper than you expected?
Tracy I have no skeletons, all clean, nothing scary - except perhaps my fashion sense 10 years ago - I've never even been arrested so I'll definitely take a look at the lawyers you've pointed out and see which one will be best for us. I have actually heard of Kevin Dixler before, so if he is good then that is reassuring!
The reason I'm so skeptical about immigration attorneys is that I have heard a few horror stories regarding how they were taken for a ride etc., this isn't normally the case I know, but it's better to be safe than sorry!
I also find Folinsky's advice on this site invaluable and I'm glad that he takes the time out to point people in the correct direction!

Mr. Dixler did our AOS. He didn't really have to do too much - we were approved without interview. However, his paralegal was superb, easiest job ever getting the forms done (and done perfectly).
Also, when my husband had an emergency and might have needed AP, he got in done (somehow!) in 2 days. So we very much appreciate that.
He is the type to worry (and tell you about) every catastrophe that could possibly occur - but as none did, I'd prefer an attorney who worries about everything that could go wrong (and looks out for it) than someone who is complacent.
So thus far we have been happy with him.
Personally, I would not hesitate to retain any of the three attorneys from the forum either - in our case, we wanted someone local in case they needed to attend an AOS interview with us (we have a large age difference and were afraid we would get a hard time).

Not really a fountain of knowledge but I've been there recently and I was so determined to win I did shedloads of research and it kinda took over my life for a while!
