Client Preparation and Expectations For Data Recovery

Get an idea of what the data is worth before deciding on data recovery.
Have a list of the specific files and folders you hope to recover.
Know the location of the data - user profile, desktop, special folder, etc.
Do NOT expect programs to be recovered.
Ask if the type of damage the drive sustained requires clean room use
What happens if no data is recovered?
Would you trust your data to someone that does free estimates?
