Get large folder back from Mac emptied trash

I just deleted  a big folder from my desktop while cleaning up. I do not have a backup. I have Drive Genius 2 and an old version of Norton Utilities. Nothing was turned on in either program to pay attention to files sent to trash.  

Is there any way to recover this?

Thanks

As far as I can remember norton used to be able to retrieve trashed files, I know there was a prefs option to help recovery, but I think it was able to restore some files even with the option disabled.

With only one file allowed to be recovered in the Demo it was difficult to evaluate but I went for the $99 purchase and it was worth it. Now I have tthousands of unlabeled  files that I have to identify but at least I know some of those recovered files are from the folder I accidentally deleted.  Thanks
