Seeking Attorney for Damages

I'm looking for advice:

I have a rental property. My neighbor had a fire on his property next door causing damage to my building. I tried calling our department of neighborhood services to get the owner's contact information, but they had no information on file. When the police came, they also wrote a report but could not find the owner as well. I do not want to claim the damages on my insurance, so that my premium does not go up. What do I do in this situation? Find an attorney and work on putting on lien for the damages on the neighbors house? If that is the case, are there any attorneys that anyone can recommend? Thanks!
