Clients hire Jimmy because he is a real estate attorney and a licensed broker who has worked inside the industry for over twenty years.
Attorney & Broker in One
Jimmy sees a real estate dispute from several angles at once. He is a California licensed attorney (State Bar #282045), a licensed real estate broker in both California (DRE 01496817) and Nevada (B.1003193.LLC), and a California Association of Realtors mediator. That combination matters: when a seller hides a defect or an agent gives bad advice, Jimmy understands both the law being broken and the industry practices behind it — because he has worked inside that industry for over 20 years. Jimmy is licensed to practice law only in California; his Nevada credential is a real estate broker license, not a law license.
Buying or Investing in Las Vegas?
Jimmy is also a licensed Nevada real estate broker, practicing there through Vegas VIP Me LLC, his own Las Vegas brokerage. If you’re thinking about buying a home or investing in real estate in Las Vegas, reach out to Jimmy for a consultation — email jimmy@lawjn.com. Learn more →
Why Jimmy Does This Work
Jimmy grew up in San Jose’s Evergreen neighborhood, where he watched his own family and family friends get taken advantage of by dishonest or incompetent real estate agents. He couldn’t help them then — but that experience is what drove him to become a real estate attorney. Today, Jimmy has the knowledge and license to do what he couldn’t do as a young man: stand up for people who trusted an agent or seller and got burned. A home is the biggest purchase most people will ever make, and Jimmy believes it’s wrong for a seller or agent to think they can take advantage of a hard-working buyer and get away with it.
Jimmy’s Mission
Jimmy’s mission is simple: protect home buyers in San Jose and throughout Santa Clara County from dishonest sellers and agents, and recover the money his clients were cheated out of. Jimmy also serves clients throughout Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, San Mateo, Alameda, Santa Cruz, and San Francisco Counties, and takes matters elsewhere in California where the facts warrant it.
Beyond litigation, buyers hire Jimmy as their broker on a home purchase — a licensed California broker who reads the contract and the disclosures as the attorney who litigates them — and business owners engage him to purchase commercial property and negotiate lease terms.
