At your next family reunion, how 'bout you tell everyone that it's time for an airing of grievances and complete candor about their respective flaws. I'm gonna guess that barbecue doesn't go over terribly well.
I've found that most people that claim that they're just brutally honest are actually assholes that get off on seeing other people's vulnerabilities laid bare.
The happiest Jimmy is the one that thinks he has his brother's support. The Jimmy that turns into Saul is the one that knows he doesn't. Ignorance would've been better for all involved.

There is a pretty big difference between: "You're a hypocritical sack of **** whose only bona fide occupational qualification is ****ing anything with hang down and chucking out kids like a damn quarter machine at the grocery store."
And
"Jimmy, this place has its pick of the best of the best from
Prestigious law programs. I think it would be best if you established yourself as a lawyer at a different firm before coming on at HHM to ensure there is no nepotism."
Look dude, I'm directly involved with 12 related party business arrangements and have a cursory understanding of several others. Unequivocally the answer is ALWAYS honesty and a clear understanding of the circumstances. Always.
Not hiring Jimmy is not bad.
Lying to him about it is.
