Check out this recent post from Brian Chandler at Commonwealth PR. We agree that while it’s sometimes possible to take care of things yourself, there is often a time when you need an expert.

Hire An Expert, Before It’s Too Late
By: Brian Chandler, firm president
Sometimes you think you can do things on your own. After trying though, you find out you should have just hired an expert in the first place.
Picture this… five years of emails, more than 100,000 messages, all gone forever. I was up past midnight for the third night in a row staring at my computer, wondering how and if I would ever get those emails back. I had invested in programs and downloaded others from the Internet that said they would rebuild my Entourage (Microsoft Office’s version of Outlook) database and recover my emails. I had even backed up my computer the day before the crash and knew the data was recoverable, but back ups wouldn’t work either.
Nothing worked, and I finally turned to an expert.
My choice was ALB Tech (http://albtechrva.wpengine.com), which has offices in Mechanicsville and in the Fan area of Richmond. The ALB Tech expert tackling my problem was Jamie Lay, co-owner of the company.
It was a Saturday afternoon (yes they were open on Saturday) when I met Jamie in Mechanicsville and dropped off my computer. “I’m sure that I can recover your emails,” he said with confidence. “It might take some time, but I know I can do it.”
