About Jimmy

Jimmy represents businesses and individuals in complex commercial disputes in both federal and state courts, as well as arbitration proceedings. He joined PMW after building a successful litigation practice in Washington State, initially in Seattle where he primarily represented construction and development companies in high-stakes disputes arising from the region’s rapid growth. Then, in Central Washington, Jimmy represented some of the nation’s largest farming operations in a variety of commercial and real estate litigation. Only a couple of years after moving to Nashville and joining PMW, the firm elevated Jimmy to a partner position—a reflection of the results he delivers and the trust he earns from clients.

Throughout his career, Jimmy has secured favorable results for clients in a wide variety of complex litigation across many industries, such as defending one of the nation’s largest cable companies against lawsuits arising from a damaged jet fuel pipeline, defending a construction company from claims arising in operations on oil rigs in the North Slope of Alaska, defending a medical device company in insurance claims, and defending a concert venue against suits arising from the explosion of a defective confetti cannon.

Jimmy’s wide range of experience provides him with unique insight into the extensive nuances of litigation. Jimmy uses this insight first to effectively counsel clients on the full range of options to pursue their goals, and then to efficiently get results.

As a representative success, Jimmy obtained summary dismissal of Puget Sound Energy’s $17 million contractual indemnity claim arising from work on the gas line at the center of the 2016 natural gas explosion in the Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle—and successfully defended the appeals. Puget Sound Energy Inc. v. Pilchuck Contractors, Inc., 15 Wash. App.2d 1004 (2020). Just recently, in defending a developer in contract disputes arising from a real estate development in Goodlettsville—and after securing a ruling of zero damages at trial—Jimmy successfully appealed and overturned a TCPA judgment entered against the developer.‍ ‍Lublin v. Vastland Northcrest Dev., LLC, No. M2024-01152-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. Mar. 31, 2026).

When out of the office, Jimmy enjoys functional fitness and traveling the world for mountain and ocean sports. While Jimmy would like to consider himself a bow hunter, the results of recent outings reflect he is merely a bow hiker.
