If you do have to use a professional service, these guys have been around for a while and would likely be trustworthy, if not inexpensive.

Microcenter says they also offer recovery services, and would likely be much less expensive, but I wonder how good they are?

If you do it yourself, or find someone to help you, you should probably start by making a copy of the drive, and then work to recover your files from the copy, preserving the original.
A device like this allows you to get at the bare metal drive and duplicate it to a new drive...

Or you can use imaging software to make a copy of the drive on another hard drive which you can then mount and attempt to work with or write to a new hard drive.
Acronis True Image is one of the best imaging programs out there.

They will have knowledge databases and forums that will be available to help you with advice and tips, tricks and traps.

They also have a recovery utility similar to the recuva listed above that will attempt to recover files if possible.

An advantage of getting Acronis True Image now is that you will also be able to use it to backup in the future, etc.
