Agree. An arborist can tell you if the tree is healthy and worth saving and prune correctly.
If, however, you decide to take it down, hire an (insured) lumberjack. Cutting a tree into pieces and bringing them down safely doesn't take an advanced degree; no sense paying premium.
e.g., I had a 60 foot douglas fir that had to come down (in the way of new construction) -- the arborist bid $1,400; the lumber jack bid $600.
