    Ask Harsh at shoutmeloud.com

    He has done several jobs like these. You can also read the reviews by his customers at his site. Tell that 'teamnirvana.com' admin has suggested him to u. U may get a discount :)

    You main option is to use an Import Plugin and clean up all the junk it pulls in or to just cut and paste the content. If you can figure out a way to export your content to RSS/XML then you can import it back in to your new WordPress Site. You'll need to account for the new site structure, title tags, and redirects so your site retains it's ranking.

    I've move a few and it's not much fun. But it's worth doing as WordPress is just awesome to work with.

    Information on what WordPress supports for importing.
