Data recovery in USA. - Samsung MZ-JPV5120/0A4?

My Apple MacBook Pro SSD failed - Samsung MZ-JPV5120/0A4 with S4LN058A01-8030 controller. Looking for data recovery service in Florida.

The failure is identical to the case described here:

https://www.dq-int.co.uk/blog/possible-worlds-first-apple-ssd-recovery/

Symptoms:
• SSD shows up in system correctly
• Reads a few bytes then stops responding
• Only way to revive it is full power cycle (shutdown)
• Reboot doesn’t help - PCIe slot stays powered
• ddrescue fails after ~39MB with “Device not configured” (errno=6)

I’ve read on the ACELab PC-3000 forum that there may be a solution involving manual LBA entry and temperature manipulation, but this requires specialized equipment.

Has anyone dealt with this specific controller failure? Can anyone recommend a good data recovery service in Florida (Miami area) that has experience with Apple PCIe SSDs and ideally PC-3000 equipment?

Any help appreciated!
