James Morgan "Jimmy" McGill , better known by his professional alias and business moniker Saul Goodman and later Gene Takavic , is an American criminal defense lawyer, scam artist, and convicted criminal who is serving an year sentence at ADX Montrose.
Originally from Cicero, Illinois during his career as a scam artist, Jimmy moved to Albuquerque , New Mexico where he worked as a lawyer, and later resided as a fugitive in Omaha, Nebraska before being caught and apprehended in a federal prison at Montrose, Colorado.
During his law career, Jimmy embraced his tendencies as a former scam artist and, after becoming a dedicated and effective criminal lawyer, he began to represent criminals while he himself became increasingly involved in the city's criminal underworld, all the while slowly losing his morality along the way.
Despite his flamboyant appearance and mannerisms, Saul was a highly competent lawyer who was able to solve problems and find loopholes in order to protect his clients.
His business name, "Saul Goodman," is a play on the phrase "it's all good, man. Dressing in flashy suits, Jimmy is the younger brother of fellow lawyer Chuck McGill and the ex-husband of former attorney Kim Wexler , the latter of whom helped inspire Jimmy to pursue his own law career alongside Chuck, and had dated for several years before their six-month marriage.
