I feel your pain, Monday I have an arborist coming out to take out three cottonwoods that are wedged between my shop and the neighbor's property. Two are dead, the third is on it's way. Even just having them get the trees on the ground and chip up the brush and leave the wood for me to deal with, it's still going to be $3k.

Look around online, reviews are great. I made sure I was present for each of the four companies I had bid the job, lots of good info by talking to the person who bid the job. Also a good indicator of the company, one company was discounted due to the sloppy and unprofessional manner of the company owner, even though their bid was low. Check BBB rating, verify insurance and CCB #, etc. Talk to your neighbors and get referrals.

Anyone want to buy some firewood?
