You have to either risk the chance of getting your coins stolen, with a reputable companies the risk is lower, or just forget about the coins at all. Trying to fix it yourself won't do the job.

If the wallet file is protected with a strong password then there won't be anything they can steal at all short of running a password cracker on it which for them would be a borderline illegal activity if they've only been tasked to recover the wallet file. And if a professional company attempted to do this then they will be legally liable for theft of users' personal information and you can take them to court for that. Stealing bitcoins from a wallet.dat file is one of the more blatant forms of stealing personal information and any reasonable lawyer should be able to successfully argue the case to award you damages.

It reminds me of the time Best Buy was sued (and forced to pay damages) because some of their lot of hired technical support employees they called "Geek Squad" copied their client's personal files for themselves.

NotATether and Guys , do you confirm any damaged Chip on the picture , because all process is useless if 1 of the chips is damaged, since the harddisk is encrypted. ! if 1 i loose 1 single byte i loose all the data.

I'm not really sure. Like I said, I'm no hardware expert so we have to wait for someone more experienced to reply on this thread.
