I know the feeling. It's sad, but true.
But that also distorts your view. And for us that could mean considerable distortion. It's not always like that. It's generally bigger companies that just don't care because they don't have to (and they can afford legal expenses), in my experience. Maybe your experiences are different.
If it's really (still) a problem that many cheaper ones are shady, you should be able to find information about that on the Internet, right?
Or ask at a reputable, expensive company why one should choose them and not a cheaper company. If they
don't say it's because the cheaper ones might in the end cost you more or as much, it might not be an actual problem.
If you're honest about how you can't pay for their services, they might advice you about alternatives. Maybe just out of kindness or because they want to create goodwill, as you might find yourself in a better financial position in the future. You can always try.
