1. funny thing , you can get a background check on just about any body but lawyers lol
2. The State Supreme Court and the Bar Association can provide you with a list of complaints on attorneys. But, as far as how well or how often they won such cases is interpretive based different factors: Available evidence in each case; Whether the other parent fought for custody; The quality of the other parent's legal representation; etc. You need to interview several attorneys and take notes. Don't ask any of them about your case, just what their qualifications are. Get a feel for who you're most comfortable with. Get a list of the complaints on them, and there will be complaints, regardless of how good they are. People who win are not always complete satisfied with their win and file complaints against the attorney. Pick out 3-4 from those you interviewed than go back and tell them about your case, again taking notes. None of this time with the attorneys should cost you anything. If they want to charge for it, walk away. After the second round of interviews, choose your attorney from the results.
