Any recos for a home improvement attorney?

We had hired a contractor to fix a leaky ceiling. The contractor completed mitigation (paid by insurance) + rebuild (insurance did not pay) of the space.
When I saw the final invoice, they have highly inflated the invoice in hopes of getting it claimed by the insurance. Now that we are paying for rebuild out of pocket, I questioned them for the inflated amounts. The contractor hired a collection agency to get this amount from us.
Need help with this!
