A former employee at a Springfield mental health and addiction clinic is suing the owners for more than $4 million, according to documents filed in federal court.
Psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Williams filed a complaint for a civil case against Eustasis Psychiatric and Addiction Health co-owners Dr. Alok Jain and Alisha Breanna Jain and Honour Brite LLC, Eustasis’s parent company.
Williams has filed the complaint pro se, meaning he is representing himself. Williams has a psychiatry certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and has licenses to practice in Arkansas , Missouri and Texas . According to each medical board’s site, Williams has no disciplinary actions listed against him.
Williams had not yet responded to a request for comment at the time this story was published.
Joshua Roberts of Roberts & Easley LLC in Springfield is representing the Jains and Honour Brite LLC.
“My clients cannot comment on any matter of pending litigation other than to emphatically deny the allegations in the pro se complaint,” Roberts said in an emailed statement. “They look forward to disproving the false allegations in a court of law.”
