What’s the best way to go about determining which lawyers would be best to consult with? Any things to be wary of or recognize as supportive?

I am being falsely accused of a crime that did not happen, that being said, they don’t have ANY evidence against me, The sheriff falsified the report in several ways, most importantly he twisted my denial into an admission, iimmediately closed the case, I believe, to avoid/cover up not gathering exculpatory evidence. I need a lawyer who can recognize the litany of absurdities regarding this case and will know what to do with them - or, to what extent they may have (perceived) merit. I would love to be matched to a compatible lawyer, but just as grateful for any salient advice.
