About this Chuck hate
I see a lot of Chuck hate here and I find it a bit surprising. Especially when the Chuck haters are Jimmy Lovers.
I guess Jimmy is a fun and charismatic guy and that gives him an edge. But I feel that many people are missing an important and inconvenient factor: Chuck is right about Jimmy.
Chuck has every reason to think Jimmy is unfit to practice law. As much as we may like Jimmy, it is true.
When Jimmy was a kid, he began screwing over his father. He screwed him over so badly that it contributed to his business falling a part. Yes, his father was naive. But you just don’t do that to your father. Chuck was right to be angry at Jimmy since then.
Then Chuck saw how Jimmy kept causing havoc everywhere he goes.
Chuck was a proud lawyer. I understand where he comes from being an attorney myself. He knew there were boundaries and how the law could be a very dangerous tool. He knew since the begining that a law license in Jimmy’s hand is very dangerous.
And time proved him right. Jimmy hurt a lot of people using his law license and he would never stop. Jimmy hurt Chuck pretty badly over mesa verde and he certainly did nothing unethical or illegal by trying to retain them. Jimmy deserved to get disbarred over his actions. Unfortunately, Chuck’s own issues made it difficult to get the job done.
But Karma eventually visited Jimmy and drove him out of the legal profession for good.
So, let’s be objective here. Chuck is not charismatic and very self-righteous, but he had every reason go against Jimmy.
