Help Complicated Storage Removal

Recently I decided I was sick of having cracks all over my Galaxy s3 screen and didn't want to pay to have it fixed. So I bought a kit to fix it and watched some videos, it seemed simple enough. I wasn't really watching how gentle I was being with the digitizer and now the screen is completely unresponsive. I'm now looking into getting a new phone, but I want to get my contacts, images, etc. off the old phone. Should be simple right? Plug it into to the pc drag and drop the files, easy. The problem is that the micro USB port on my phone is also broken so I need a way to get the files off the device...
Is there a place I can bring it? (sprint, a cell phone repair store, etc)
or is there a product I can plug the phones circuits into and take off the files?
 
If your contacts are synced they will show up on a new device when you log in to your google account. But everything else, unless you synced your photos or made sure they were all on your sdcard might be complicated. No touch screen and no USB port? You probably should have moved all photos to SD card a while ago.
You can try kies, but if your port is bad probably not gonna work.
