Looking for a high-quality chisel sharpening service (in US)

[Robert Engel]

A quick google search to actually respond to your question and not berate you on your skill or frustration you are having with re-establishing the original reference on your chisels:

I don't think anyone is berating, but trying to encourage him that this is a necessary part of the skillset for a woodworker as well as save some money.

I strongly suspect the reason the chisels got out of square is from due to his honing technique & Mike is exactly right in what he said.

As already stated, flattening the back of a chisel is the simplest of jobs, only requiring a flat stone and a some elbow grease.

I hope an offer of help near him arises that will be a learning experience!!

Bill White did 'em. He knew what I wanted (someone to establish the geometry, sharpen them, and polish the backsides.) He did a real nice job.

I found out that it is difficult to take a shot of my eye reflected in the mirror of the back of a chisel, hand-holding a chisel and a camera. After giving up on that idea, I found it was difficult to even get a nice shot without trying to photograph the mirror. The camera flash just makes micro scratches look like canyons. So, the photo is awful.

Bill also buffed the ferules, and waxed and buffed the handles. He treated them like they were his own. Did I mention that they are sharp? They are sharp.

Thank you Bill, I really appreciate your fine work!

You are most welcome, and as I said to you, those puppies have some hard steel in the blades.
I try to give my customers the service I expect from suppliers. Price/value/speed.
