Hire a consulting arborist and sue for your money back plus damages.



Sue for what damages? It's a tree trimming service (not a miracle
worker) that was obviously hired to trim the tree AFTER the tree
became "deformed" (what's a perfect tree anyway). The tree trimming
service did in fact trim the tree, and the customer (Tom) paid them,
obviously Tom was satisfied that the trimmer trimmed as per
agreement. There were no guarantees... the most honored, most famous
arborist in the world can't make any guarantees... lightening can
strike that tree the very next minute. Sue for what damages, the tree
didn't fall on the house during the trimming, there are no damages.

Btw, even from those pictures, anyone can plainly tell that tree is
too tall for that space, it needs removal before it falls on the
neighbor's property, then you can bet your bipee there will be suing,
actually Tom's bipee and only Tom's bipee will be liable. If Tom
values his bipee he'll have that tree removed, pronto.
