If you cut the branches, and as a result, the tree topples onto the tree-owner's house, can they sue you for improper trimming? I mean around here, most people will hire a "handyman" to do this stuff. And most handyman don't know anything about proper crowning of a tree.
The hurricane would have toppled the tree, regardless... A few stray branches aren't going to save it...
