Data Recovery
10
It seems like everyone has an old hard drive or broken laptop with pictures of their kids on it or some other irreplaceable data. The idiots at geek squad charge a ridiculous price for this service and look at all your private stuff if they feel like it.
So, I don't look, and I'm not expensive. Drop off or ship me your device and a flash drive or external hard drive to hold the recovered files and I'll use data forensic techniques on it to recover whatever is recoverable.
If I can't recover what you're after I'll give you advice on reputable companies that do a more thorough (albeit extremely expensive) job.
I can't guarantee success, or the condition of equipment--this is not an exact science and sometimes stuff breaks, but I've been doing this for friends and family for a decade and can recover stuff more often than not.
