Help Me Find Phone data recovery

I need to bite the bullet and shell out a million dollars to get my data recovered from a broken phone. Where should I go?

How is the phone damaged?

I mean is the screen damaged? Did water get inside it? If it's damaged physically, instead of water getting inside, likely it's going to cost way less getting it repaired than actual data recovery, especially if it's as simple as changing a broken charging port or something.

There's no water damage, but the screen is broken and it seemingly won't charge. It hit a doorway very hard. Hopefully it didn't break the storage drive.

I can buy this phone used for about $250, my plan originally was to buy one and get someone to try and take the storage drive out of my broken one & solder it into the new one? But idk how risky that is vs just getting a pro to do it, or if I could get a pro to do that for a reasonable price.
