About Jimmy

I'll never forget my first appointment with a college pre-law advisor. We acknowledged my GPA wasn't exactly "high." I sheepishly mentioned a “safety” law school on my list. Almost under her breath, she muttered, "Yeah... that's definitely a reach." I was instantly crushed by her words and I felt physically sick for days. But making things happen in life is about getting back up... I'm what you'd call a classic "splitter” in LSAT jargon. I worked late nights throughout college which took its toll on my GPA. As a result, I needed a high LSAT score to give me a fighting chance at my target law schools. The journey wasn't easy but it taught me valuable lessons and techniques I love to share with my students. ​My first PT was a 149, but through hard work and more than one LSAT take, I scored a 173 (99th percentile). Despite my lackluster GPA, that score helped me gain admission and full tuition scholarships to top law schools including Duke, Berkeley and Georgetown. ​Students often ask if I went back and shared my score and acceptances with that pre-law advisor. Nope. Deep down, I already believed in myself and I just needed to put my potential and drive into action. Plus, she switched to another job and I couldn’t track her down! But that exchange keeps me humble and reminds me how each of us has unlimited potential. I believe in every one of my students. I treat each of them the way I would want to be treated because I walked that very same path.
