I can see it a few ways. 1) It's more likely she has a nephew vs a son. 2.)

[@dustinlockwood3685]

@@MrDragonorp It's not against the law for a lawyer to solicit a client for work. It is considered unethical and most, if not all, bar assosiations have a rule against it. So while a lawyer isn't breaking any laws set by the government they are likely breaking rules set by their bar assosiation and can be heavily fined or completely disbarred dependent on the severity.

[@RedZoneGamingUS]

I agree with you on the soliciting but no way is the commercial justified. Yeah it's was just his case at first but his ad is representing the class action as well as the entire firm of Davis & Main. You don't get to just be hired by Walmart and start putting out your own Walmart ads. Cliff Main rightfully points out that yes Jimmy's ad did bring in people for the class action, but it hurt their brand because the ad came off as too manipulative and corny for the prestige image they want to display. Not even telling the partners about the ad is probably the stupidest thing Jimmy ever did, he was definitely at least subconsciously trying to get fired.

No way in hell is this solicitation. He clearly plays it by-the-book here. Note the interaction with Lydecker: Jimmy doesn't address him, only answers after Lydecker has interacted with him. The fact that Sandpiper stonewalled him from meeting clients in their homes forced him to meet them on a bus like this. If Sandpiper didn't want other people overhearing, they would have been smart to set up private meeting spaces for Jimmy to meet people who responded to the mailer. By stonewalling him from their residences, they opened up this opportunity for Jimmy, and he was being an excellent lawyer by seizing on it. This isn't solicitation, this is a strategic failure on Sandpiper's part. Once again, Chuck was completely in the wrong, and simply going out of his way to sabotage Jimmy.

Jimmy's right, penmanship is a lost art.

[@Antwan86]

I wouldn't call that a con really. Chuck immediately disregards Jimmy's method to onboard plaintifs, but the truth is those are elderly people and Jimmy truly helped them understand the situation so they could express their will. This is not corners-cutting, it's actual help and explaining, something which all lawyers should do.

[@GamerOfLegends163]

This is my favorite version of Jimmy. The one is who is doing a good thing but with the help of a little chicanery on the side. While he's doing it pretty much solely for the money, he's still doing a good thing for these old folk

[@ReMattch]

"It's not like they robbed Alma May at gunpoint so get that image out of your head" He says in the most theatrical way possible while everyone gasps out loud. What does someone think about when you tell them to not think about an elephant? Classic Jimmy

[@pelloo3627]

Very smart move!

[@DJIngvar]

my man has seen inception

[@3hutp]

I love how he keeps playing this 'Greatest Generation' card bullshit

[@K713channel]

This scene is has the ability to be under and over stated at the same time. It’s one of the very best, it’s almost mundane, it’s Jimmy McGill and Saul Goodman in a to-go cup with ice. I love this scene

[@JAMIExHDxGAMING]

God I just love jimmys character so much, he’s so complex and deeply written but he can be enjoyed at a surface level just as easily

[@SimpleSock]

I've always loved how the interactions with seniors were written in this show. Having worked with seniors for the better part of 10 years now it's done so in such an accurate and respectful way, the writing is obviously outstanding in BCS but the finer details like this are really what kept me hooked.

[@centralshaft801]

"forget that image" after he's planted it. Well played

[@Mas0o0n]

This is one of my favorite scenes from the show, Bob is so absolutely captivating.

[@batuhanayar8737]

The way he explains all the things is insanely amazing. What a character!

[@differentman1878]

Hes a fast talker but hes earnest. I think thats really how he gets people to listen.

[@beagle626]

i want this jimmy back :(

[@AJ_CAVIL]

Charm,delicacy and enchanting old people talking on their way is some skills chuck lacks

[@SSC0002]

This is the moment Jimmy became Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimsdale Dimmadome

[@Scarfy101]

my heart aches knowing that jimmy's mistakes and inner demons cost him a life of actively helping the elderly; a job he clearly enjoyed because he worked with people he certainly cared for at a personal level. his techniques were iffy, but his intentions and end-results were sincere. i cannot ever vent enough how much i pity his downfall and how tragic i find his story. he really was (arguably) a good man back in this era.

[@michaelhanrahan5349]

'Breaking Bad' was good, but 'Saul' takes it to another Level completely.

[@lukaprimorac8128]

the genuine joy and pride Jimmy displays when he goes "I picked that color myself"

[@Thing-vc2qm]

the writting of this show was just brilliant

[@Silver01Son]

Indeed

[@lizardkid666]

I love the scene and in season one where he didn’t charge the client directly but instead decided to go in the long run and press charges against Sandpiper because I think they should be held accountable for their actions

[@Arpin_Lusene]

The writing and the act here are amazing. They really nailed the talking towards elderly so much.

[@kovulion7777]

So Sandpiper just happens to be overcharging? They orchestrated it! Sandpipy!

[@roketonkun]

"Is not like sand pipper put a ski mask and mugged alma may at gun point" *Acts like his poiting a gun "so I want you to take that mental image out of your head" Is such a clever manipulative tactic

[@JacksonWitsell]

Bob Odenkirk is the only guy funny enough to play Saul Goodman and talented enough to play Jimmy McGill

[@MasterFhyl]

This scene is the moment where Huell Babineaux ate a cheeseburger.

[@Dave_Dot_Executable]

Man this scene musta happened a whole lotta times then.

[@WBSlashH]

One of the things Jimmy dos well is remember names/faces. You need that as a conman. He can meet someone once and remember them. It comes off as very charming and puts people at ease. It’s nice to see him using it in a very moral way here to get these elderly citizens the information since Sandpiper crossing won’t let him in. And yes, this means more money for Jimmy. But he’s at his best when he’s using his whits and charm for the greater good

[@aidanmagill6769]

Jimmy had a clipboard for every passenger.

[@chrisd997]

Seeing him on his top level , I think the word charesmatic describes him fully

[@tarantinoish]

Penmanship really is a lost art.

[@remi-D]

“Who may have been over CHARGED” *turns to the entire bus*😂😂😂 This show is just awesome. It’s got a breaking bad vibe but it’s absolutely it’s own thing.

[@passerby1200]

"I saw your bus broken down, here you are. Lucky me." If you know the anything about Saul Goodman, you know the bus breaking down had nothing to do with luck

[@polygondeath2361]

As his reputation was built on the elderly, his run was stopped by one.

[@pauwerful2161]

Everyone say's he is adorable with the elderly but how he set up a old woman against others in her nursing home broke my heart.

[@alexpalapa7603]

One thing that Jimmy has, and Chuck never had. Charisma baby!

[@Kriptiko]

I know there had to be at least one dude on that bus like "DAMN CAN WE GO EAT ALREADY IM 93 YEARS OLD ON A PACEMAKER RAHH DDAY"

[@MoonDog991]

I don't deal with senior citizens often but is it really proper etiquette to treat them like children? The way he speaks to her is like talking to a child.

[@emiogawa86]

This guy saved every criminals he defended, all of them bailed out or released. Best lawyer

[@WBSlashH]

I like the point that when Jimmy asks her about going to dinner he uses the term Nephew instead of asking for a Grandson. This adds a slight bit if flattery that Alma “can’t be old enough to have grandchildren” it’s subtle but some people may take asking about a grandchild as insult.

[@DJ_Music_Man2]

It’s scary how I don’t know in basically any scene if he’s conning everyone only if it’s directly said lmao

[@centrix2274]

Jimmy really was a master lawyer

[@viktorkozeny9522]

was?

[@walkispacheco88]

What a great sales pitch.
