My husband and I are so thankful that we found James Nici. Anytime I had questions I could count on him giving an explanation to us. No matter how many questions I had, and I had a lot, he gave me the time. We are so grateful! read more

I cannot agree with Kristen about Jim's malfeasances on this enough. As my trustee he has changed trusts that weren't supposed to be changed. Turned brother against brother , in our case ., as well as - sons against fathers ., he is low low low down . Distributions that are his discretion only are then given to other beneficiaries as to protect his trusteeship. Essentially turning them all against ONE ? It's a farce and a costly one at that! It seem unethical or should be down right illegal. Trusts that are deemed irrevocable had better not stay in nici office or they will magically change at the time of death. Make numerous NUMEROUS copies as he will get other attorneys to destroy it on you and your sticky point blank ( embarrassed) with his newest garbage. This one favors Nici more NOT descendants ( he pays himself more then the income beneficiaries get in our case). NEXT the court get the new language not the old which is in fact "express" wishes of the grantor ., be alert he is bad bad bad . I'm in a lawsuit now and it's over denying me my "accustomed manor of living" and hems provisions back to 2018... and his discretionary decisions are very much in question / he is a crook and a liar. read more

I must post an updated version of the 5 star google review I initially wrote. When I wrote the original recommendation, I didn't know Jim at all, but I had high hopes and positive expectations of his services. I wanted to give him a chance and start out a positive professional relationship by providing a glowing review. Unfortunately, my high hopes for his services have become a nightmare I never thought possible. I've been exploited, embarrassed & demoralized by those involved in this trust, and this abuse needs to end. I was forced to sign over control of my father's trust to Jim Nici and my brother about 14 months ago while completely incapacitated from a head injury. My doctor said I shouldn't be reading, working or signing anything, but I was continually harassed and threatened with legal action unless I signed the paperwork. I was not allowed to meet, speak or communicate with Jim Nici until after I signed over my control to my brother and Jim. Jim knew I was not allowed to meet him and accepted his position readily, even after I told him I was coerced and threatened into signing it. Jim has refused to allow me the opportunity to listen or observe any trust related meetings despite my repeated requests, yet he has continually allowed my brother (a trustee and beneficiary) to have unfettered access to information and unequal distributions without keeping me informed. I am one of the youngest graduates ever of the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, with concentrations in Finance, Economics and Strategic Management. There's only 1 reason why a lawyer would prohibit a 34 year old, knowledgeable beneficiary from observing his meetings regarding my future assets; he knows he's going to be held accountable for his decisions and actions. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it has become readily apparent that his concerns are only with his fees and maintaining control as a trustee, not with me or my best interest. I deserve to be informed and feel safe from the fear that my brother & Jim's power creates. In addition to that, Jim will not receive or return any of my calls. He will only correspond with me in writing via email. He has allowed other trustees to obtain outside legal counsel with trust funds but not extended that opportunity to me. Why do these people get to use my father's money to protect themselves at the expense of my physical and mental wellbeing? Why do I get continually ignored and humiliated when I ask for fair and impartial treatment when it comes to personal, medical and financial information? I deserve to be listened to. Jim has allowed the trust to become an oppressive and controlling tool against me. His behavior comes across as extremely gender biased and disrespectful. His duty to act in my best interest over his own is nonexistent in my experience. He knows that I'm afraid of my brother and has continually ignored my requests to get some sort of legal separation or no contact order in place to permanently get away from my brother and stay safe. I deserve dignity, autonomy & the freedom to pursue my own happiness without fear. This review change is truly unfortunate and upsetting at the end of the day. I tried to give him so many chances and waited over a year for his unlawful actions to be corrected, but it's never once happened and probably never will. I only post this review because the thought of someone else's daughter, granddaughter or mother being treated the way that I've been treated, truly churns my stomach. Jim's a smart guy, but in my opinion, his misogynistic tendencies far outweigh his knowledge of the law. read more

I have had a multi-year relationship with Jim Nici. He has done my estate planning, revisions and will. He has helped me with my recent remarriage, writing and overseeing our prenuptial agreement. All has been handled with excellent care and professionalism. We are friends, as well as business associates. I anticipate many future years of professional and personal involvement. read more
