Yellow pages can also be used to find those that are advertising themselves using this medium in your area. List all of them down and obtain more information regarding them to help you decide on which one to employ.

Ask for recommendations from people you know because they may know one or have hired one before themselves. They would tell you all the information they know about them and if they have a good reputation. Add those they recommended that are not listed yet and get more information about them as well.
