What about an emergency service? If you need your data back urgently, find a company that offers this type of service. It may be costly but worth expense. It is also a good idea to discuss responsibility for possible delays.

• Unbelievably high successful recovery rate No "magic machine" exist that can automatically retrieve all data from hard disk. 15-20% of all cases are entirely unrecoverable and there is nothing anyone can do about it. If a company claims to have successful rate of more than 90%, they are definitely being dishonest with their customers.
• Class 100 Clean Rooms Clean rooms are only used in most difficult cases when engineers have to disassemble a broken drive in order to fix its mechanical parts. This is a really complex and expensive procedure with very low rate of success. And besides, mechanical failures happen very rarely(only 4-5% of all accidents). Most companies mention clean room for marketing purposes only and most likely you will pay for it from your own pocket.
• Free Diagnostics A good company SHOULD offer free diagnostics. But sometimes this is misleading. It may still be free, but if you become unsatisfied with price offered after evaluation and try to withdraw your order, you will be charged a so-called "cancellation fee"(that may go up to $200). Be aware of this.
