Terrible mental health lawyer

I hired Mr. Nye to help me manage a subpoena for a deposition and ultimately needed to fire him. Mr. Nye spent every interaction that I had with him lecturing me and accusing me of writing things that were categorically untrue. Rather than gently guiding me through the deposition process, Mr. Nye ma...de me question whether he was actually representing me or colluding with the counsel who subpoenaed me. He behaviors stressed me out so much that he made me feel physically ill. Mr. Nye is either deeply incompetent or deviously manipulative. My $400 initial consultation with him consisted of a 10 minute discussion of my case and a 50 minute sales job about his consultation services, in which he also included more lectures and false accusations. Mental health practitioners should be cautious about hiring Mr. Nye to represent them.

Avoid Jonathan Nye!!!!!!

I have never written a complaint before on any board or forum, but was so disappointed by my experience with Jonathon Nye, that I felt I needed to let others know about it. Jonathon Nye is Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. He started off nice until I asked ONE question about why my fee DOUBLED. When money is di...scussed, he turns on you like a pit-bull and cancelled by appointment without reason or explanation. I am to blame too because I used his firm before and his team made numerous mistakes and when asked to fix them, many of the same errors remained, costing me time aggravation, and many thousands of dollars which resulted in NIL!!!! Upon further research with other therapists I know that use Nye Law Group, more than 75% fired him for similar reasons. The worst part is he and his team are rude and extremely unprofessional.

Excellent

Jonathan Nye & his associates have been advising our psychology practice for years. His feedback & guidance have been valuable in supporting our growth & development. He has assisted with contracts, staff consultations, ethics questions and negotiations. Jonathan & his assistant Ryan are always r...esponsive & thorough in their followup. I make it a point to go see them in person every year. I would highly recommend this practice.

Mental health consultation line is THE BEST

Jonathan has been an incredible resource to me as a mental health professional in private practice. I cannot say enough good things about how available and helpful Jonathan has been to me on legal issues regarding Illinois mental health. Jonathan is easily accessible on his consultation line to tal...k through cases, to share feedback on Illinois law and to direct me in a way that helps my clients and protects my practice at the same time. I am thankful to have an attorney available through a legal consultation line because it helps me to feel confident about maintaining a highly ethical practice that abides by Illinois mental health laws.

First Client
