Started my law firm this month. Have a few of-counsel positions and want to do mostly litigation (civil and commercial in NY). Besides word of mouth and networking, have any of you found any websites or services that generate legitimate leads?

BNI is a networking group, so not what you are asking about, but it can be really good for litigators. It is time intense because they have meetings every week, but different groups meet at different times and I imagine there are tons of groups in New York.

Also, consider finding an organization that you can speak at to help build your credibility and spread word of mouth that you are now out on your own. National Business Institute is the company I speak through. I typically do a few sessions per year, but they were happy to load me up with more presentations when I had time to kill after going out on my own.
