"Our 4K drone footage of a client's resort was unfinalized after a crash. RichardRecovery had a working preview back to me in under six hours — full quality."
"I formatted the SD card from my daughter's graduation before backing it up. They recovered every single photo and video. I cried. Pricing was very reasonable."
"A 78 GB broadcast MXF that two other services declared unrecoverable was fully repaired here. They also promised to keep everything confidential, and they did."
"The preview-first model sold me. I could see exactly what I was paying for. Dashcam footage from an accident evidence case, repaired overnight."
"Corrupted voice memos from an interview series — every other tool produced silence. RichardRecovery restored all six recordings with clean audio."
"Clear communication, fast replies, and no upselling. My wedding video was worth far more than the fee. Highly recommend to any videographer."
