This is not a contractor recommendation, but a tip I got from our handyman. If what you are getting is water seeping in at the corners, it's probably coming from you roof drains. You may want to have the in-ground pipes carrying off your roof water reamed out. Also, check and see if there is "air space" around the tile pipe carrying roof drain water down to the storm water line. If there is, fill the empty space with packed soil--that open space around the tile serves as a conduit for rain water to run down and "pile up" against your basement wall.

Neighbors:
I received a request for a contractor recommendation concerning leaky basement walls. If you can recommend someone who successfully stopped basement wall leaking for you, please reply to me directly. I will summarize all responses and add them to the contractor's list.
Look for a new update to the contractor's list next week.
