Check out the SSA blue book for SSDI.

The reason a lawyer isn't too interested is because you probably would get approved within 3-6 months, which means you wouldn't get much back pay and they wouldn't much of a fee (25% of your back pay). You really don't need a lawyer for your initial claim and sounds like, as long as you have all your Dr. and medical info, you should be approved.
Good luck!!!
