Saul Goodman (BitLife)

Inspired by the character from "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul"
Saul Goodman (September 30, 1945 - May 31, 2021) (born James Morgan "Jimmy" McGill) was an American lawyer, judge and non-convicted criminal. He was widely known for suing and burglarizing the homes of other criminals. 
==Early Life==
Jimmy McGill was born on September 30, 1945, in Cicero, Chicago. The son and only child of 33 year old pilot Cheyenne Mcgill and 51 year old librarian Grayson McGill, Jimmy shared lots of his love with friends and family. He was sad that the family German shepherd, Tara, died so early in his life. 
McGill served in the art club in middle school and the photography club in high school. At 15, he got his first job as a lifeguard in 1960. 
==Career==
In 1970, after graduating law school, McGill changed his name to Saul Goodman to make a good impression on his clients, resigned from his ten year service of lifeguarding and began working as a Junior Associate for Johnson and Holyfield. Over his 32 years with the firm, Goodman recieved three promotions: 
- Associate (1974)
- Junior Partner (1978)
- Partner (1982)
In 2002, Goodman was relieved from Johnson and Holyfield due to his alcohol addiction. He attempted to sue the firm for not letting him attend rehab, but to no avail. Ultimately, he began working as a Magistrate for The City of Cicero. 
In 2008, Goodman was fired from his position as judge for his continued addiction. He joined Hook & Associates, starting as a Junior Associate all over again, only to be terminated just a year later in 2009. He joined Simmons & Associates in 2010 and was canned in 2015 due to his alcohol addiction, once again. 
Later that year, Goodman started working as Junior Partner for O'Malley and Clark. He was let go in 2018. He joined Phillips and Associates as Partner and worked with the firm for three years until his death. 
==Personal Life==
Goodman met Miranda Ortega, an African-American Air Force officer, in 1964, near the time the Civil Rights Act passed. After three years of dating, they married in 1967. They had ten children and seven grandchildren together, sticking together until Saul's death. 
Tragically, Saul and Miranda's first child, Charlotte, died in 1979 from ovaries cancer. She was ten years old. Goodman had spent many years following Charlotte's death feeling depressed and guilty that he hadn't tried harder to save her from cancer. Some friends even say that he was never able to let it go. 
==Legal and Health Issues==
In 2002, Goodman became addicted to alcohol after attending a luau with his friend Jay. Johnson & Holyfield rejected his request to attend rehab and terminated his services. Saul sued the company but lost the lawsuit. This happened again several times for some of his other law jobs. 
In 2007, Goodman attempted to burglarize a drug dealer's home. Although he was caught, he was found not guilty. In 2013, he successfully burglarized the home of another dealer. Goodman also tried to burglarize a thug's house, but the thug attacked him with a dildo. He was, again, found not guilty. Because the thug had used a dildo as a weapon, Goodman accused them of being a sexual predator and sued them for the harrassment. He lost the case. 
In 2014, Goodman almost burglarized a mobster's home, but he chickened out. In 2016, after attending two alcoholics anonymous meetings, he finally recovered from his addiction. He celebrated with a trip to Disney World. 
==Death==
Although the heart attack was massive, Goodman died a somewhat peaceful death on May 31, 2021. He was 75. His net worth was nearly $800K. Goodman is survived by his wife, ten children and seven grandchildren. All the law firms he worked with over the past five and a tenth decades posthumously awarded him for his dedication and his heroic acts of breaking the law for a good cause.
