I own a lift and I hire out tree work when I needed it. The last time I hired a crew to drop the trees and I took it from there.
You need an experienced tree trimmer on the lift, and just as importantly you need an experienced tree trimmer on the ground.
I have a buddy that was a tree trimmer. His ground man called off work one day. He got complacent and got himself in a bad situation. A ground man would have kept him from getting in that situation. He cut a big branch. It didn't fall like he thought it would. It caught the boom and pushed it down with enough force that it catapulted him through the air. He was busted up something terrible. He had several broken bones in his hands, wrists, broken arms and collar bones, and a broken jaw as well as some broken ribs, and some broken vertebrae. Most of his teeth got knocked out as well.
I also know a guy that owns a tree trimming outfit. He runs several man crews. One man from each crew directs the others as to what gets roped, and how they cut and pull everything.
My recommendation is to hire an experienced and well insured tree trimming contractor.
