First, why did you apply to schools that you had no interest in attending?
Second, there are plenty of threads pertaining to writing a LOCI.
This one is particularly good.

Usually I would tell you to use the "search function" more resourcefully but since you're a newbie I forgive you.

Send in the extra LOR, write a LOCI, and update your resume if you have extra work experience.

I got in off a WL, so I'll try to help:

Make sure the school knows that you're very interested in attending. Write a LOCI tailored to that school and be as genuine as possible. I would even try to check in with emails every 3 weeks or so, just letting them know - hey i'm still interested + tell them about any recent accomplishments/updates.

The additional LOR can't hurt.

I don't think visiting the schools will help you much. But if you have the means to do so, again, it can't hurt

I have a question.. Other than the LOR from the attorney I have been interning for should I ask some fairly recent graduates that are family friends for LOR? Most have graduated the schools I`ve been WLed at about 5-8 years ago..

Those family friend LoRs won't be particularly helpful. Stick with the work LoR, the LOCI, and a visit, if possible. While not necessarily a huge help, every once in awhile a visit results in admission if you talk to the right people and make a great impression.
