He has been directly responsible for attaining numerous multi-million-dollar recoveries upon which the reputation of the firm is based.

Jimmy was commissioned a “Kentucky Colonel”, by the Governor of Kentucky in 2010 and has been a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks for over a decade.  He is a proficient cook and his briskets, beef ribs and pulled pork have been devoured at Steven Raichlen’s Bar B-Que University, the Big Green Egg Eggtoberfest Competition and Falcons, Hawks and United tailgates.
