Can my facebook chat logs be recovered?

Yes - Forensic Specialists at Garrett Discovery Inc can extract deleted conversations from Facebook, Yahoo messenger and about 100 other programs. Facebook messages are stored in JSON files and are retained in the allocated and unallocated spaces of your hard drive. In other words, you may not be able to see the files from sitting at your computer or be able to read them because of the proprietary format. Forensic Experts use specialized tools for recovery of this information.

Yes

Under your Messages, you should have a record of all the "chats" you've had with others. Unless you deleted the conversation at some time, it should be there.
