Following the recent death of an external hard drive containing thousands of precious files, I looked up data recovery. I even physically took my drive to the office of a recovery business that has many five-star reviews and a high Google ranking. Then they gave me the price for the recovery work. Ouch. I managed to bargain this down a little but was still facing an enormous outlay for a partial recovery.
While looking at alternatives, another generalist computer repair service kindly recommended Lazarus to me. I looked on their website, I saw the fixed prices, I rang John. Within a week I had ALL my data delivered back to me on a new drive, having received frequent updates from John and Laura at Lazarus in-between.
All of this, including carriage, a new drive and VAT cost me less than what I could have paid for a partial recovery. Everything was super smooth, transparent, professional and friendly from start to finish.
Data recovery is not cheap, so back up - but if you are ever in the desperate state I was, go straight to Lazarus Data Recovery, as I should have done. A proper five-star outfit. Thank you!
