You just have to find an attorney who has actually wrote a briefs to the appeals council.
I would guess (with no evidence to back me up but logical thinking) that any rep who claims 98% approval is not telling the truth. A firm with a low approval rate may be the one who is willing to take on ANY claim and try to make a case without much evidence. A claim with a higher rate of approvals may only be taking on 'easy' claims. Hard to really tell.
