I do LA and feel far from perfect... I would suggest before you have someone quilt your quilt you find out if they have some samples quilted up so that you can see their work.. and express to them exactly what you expect of them..
Then you also need to make sure that your quilt is ready for the quilter, meaning, no wavy borders, no seams coming apart, backing large enough. I don't think a LAer should have to be certified. If a person thinks someone might mess up their quilt by LA, then maybe they should quilt it themselves and then problem solved. Some folks are always ready to blame their short coming on someone else....
