I wanted to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your successful efforts in recovering the files from our hard drive that "crashed" recently. As I think you know, when you called to relay the good news, a big cheer went up here in our office. Since all efforts to restore the files had failed locally, your news was a terrific relief to all of us.

We've used Data Recovery Group on 3 separate occasions over the years. Each time we've had not only success but also a pleasant (as much as can be when dealing with lost data) experience. Patrick and his team are courteous and professional. Thanks again for the great work guys!

I am wedding photographer in the metro Detroit area. As a photographer I went through one of those nightmares that we all hope never happens, an sd memory card I had just shot an event with went corrupt. My camera could not access the sd card and neither would any laptop I tried it on. I googled my possibilities and found the Data Recovery Group in Southfield MI. I rushed out in hopes they could recover my files or I would have to answer to an angry bride, something no photographer looks forward too. Luckily I found these guys who within just a couple of days they had recooperated my photographs. Friendly fast and they definitely know what they are doing!

Expensive but worth it. Data Recovery Group got my filez back when my laptop died. They did it fast and right but they cost a lot of money so be sure you need data recovery services before you talk to these guys.
