Ok, just to round this out I have two sites for data recovery specialists you can look at. Now, I haven't dealt with either of these. The company I had in mind was from several years back and I can't honestly remember their contact or website information.
So, here's two sites that looked good and the second site offers a 'no recovery - no charge' guarantee, which I would recommend.

http://www.werecoverdata.com/
Pricing started at $95 and up on the first site. The second site, I didn't see any prices up front. Which, can actually be a good sign and with the no recovery offer, probably a safe bet.
Just make sure that the offer is for the data you want, not just a blanket "any data we recover counts" kinda deal...which is still better than nothing. But better to know that up front, instead of when you get the bill.
LMK if you need anything else.
