A lawyer can actually slow down your case. Unless you have some special situation you don't need one at all, don't waste your money. If you really don't want to do the paperwork there are agencies who will do a good job including Catholic Social Services for about $50. I did the same exact process in 20 months. I filled out all the paperwork myself. It's even easier now with the new I-864EZ form.
No one cares more about your case than YOU, not even your lawyer. It's a very expensive proposition just to fill out some forms. There have been numerous stories about lawyers letting papers sit for weeks, filling out the wrong forms or wrong information, etc. More information can be found here:
