Nye and Associates Ltd.

Jonathan Nye has 2 special areas of practice– family law and mental health law. He excels at both.
Many mental health professionals think they will never need an attorney. However, even if you have excellent clinical skills and work diligently to assist your clients, you still need to be wary of an occasional client who may create a legal problem for you. You also need to comply with organizational regulations and have your paperwork in order. Jonathan Nye understands the nuances of mental health law and knows what is important to regulators.
Divorce and child custody cases are generally negotiated between lawyers. Jonathan Nye will help his clients articulate what is important to them, during emotionally trying times. He also understands courtroom procedure. He is a skilled negotiator. He will help assist his client to get the best result possible.
I highly recommend Jonathan Nye.

Jonathan Nye is my attorney. In my experience he has always returned my calls promptly, within a matter of an hour or two. He counsels me on the spot with concise and sensible advice. In addition, he completely understands the nuances of being a psychotherapist and the unique challenges of this profession. I also find him to be very empathic, a wonderful quality in an attorney. Jonathan lectures on mental health issues and he is an excellent speaker – knowledgeable, witty, and informative in a way that is understandable. I think he is great!

In my dealings with him, Mr. Nye had a very poor understanding of the requisite federal and state statutes. He was very difficult to reach and often had oddly distorted recollections of our communications.

i say stay away from jonathan nye and this law firm. i got the name of the firm from a local therapist list serve. i am not a practicing therapist but i am a licensed therapist looking to bring in an associate to my educational consulting practice. i was able to reach jonathan on his cell when i first called. evidently he wanted to make a good first impression but he does not follow through. i met with him to discuss drawing up an agreement with the potential new associate. i drove out to buffalo grove to meet with him and interestingly he made a point of telling me how available he is and that anyone can reach him since he shares his cell. at the end of the meeting jonathan said i would hear from him in about 3 weeks at which time the first draft would be complete. i have called him and his office several times. to date i have not received a return call. all i wanted was a message stating he did not want to help me or that he wasn’t interested or that it was beyond his scope. he led me to believe he could help me but maybe he couldn’t. i don’t know why he hasn’t returned my calls but what i do know is it’s simple these days to send someone a simple email, text or a voice-​mail message. there is no excuse for lack of communication. period. good luck if you decide to use him… that’s all I can say.
