It was a difficult call whether or not to choose Mike's Tree Service, as the reviews here were either love him ot hate him (some even making him out as if he's some kind of cartoon villian). So I thought I'd add my own two cents and describe my experience.
Mike came out the morning after we called and gave what I considered a great price for the amount of trees we wanted taken down. He said the guys would be out the next day, and they were, but they did not get there until 3:30PM and left before the job was done.
They said they would be back Monday, but did not get back until late Tuesday (around 3:30 again). That Tuesday, they did finish the job to my nearly complete satisfaction (with the exception of completion being 4 days later than expected).
There was no bullying, price gouging, or charging more than the agreed upon price. There was only being late.
