As much as he would like to say it's been an easy journey, it has not. As a youth, he was constantly getting into trouble with the law. At the age of 24, at the advice of his brother, he enrolled in community college, received partial scholarships to both UCLA and law school. While in law school, he externed at both the Juvenile Defender's Office and Public Defender's Office. Because of his past, he faced many obstacles when applying for college, law school, the State Bar, and the moral character application. He was admitted to practice law in 2008. Jimmy continues to give back by guest speaking at juvenile halls, camps, mentors inner city youth and parolees, and does college admission counseling for high school students.
