Jimmy basically embodies the issue that criminals have with recidivism. He tried to turn his life around and do better, but his own brother wanted to keep him down cause he was slipping Jimmy. So what does he do? The best he can. He picks up his old habits again cause they work for him. If his brother didn't try so hard to keep him out of HHM then he'd be in the place he wanted to be at the onset, he'd have support from senior lawyers at the very beginning of his career, and he'd actually have the opportunity to turn his shit around. But he never had that cause his brother has Jimmy tunnel vision. He was perfectly happy to use Jimmy for his own benefit but he couldn't return the favor, so Slipping Jimmy slipped back into a life of scams cause that was all that was left for him.

Of course his brother isn't to blame for all of it. Jimmy did do a remarkable job of sabotaging things that were going well for him too. He is a snake at his core, after all. But still I'd like to see what his story would have been like if he actually did receive some support from his brother during an extremely pivotal moment in his career. Could an HHM Jimmy be a valuable member of the New Mexico legal community? Maybe, maybe not, we'll never know, but he never even had the opportunity to try.
