Jimmy/Saul is a shades of gray character, just like the rest of us. Honesty is a matter of degree on a spectrum, and so far I would say his character leans more righteously, even if it might be for all the wrong reasons.

But there was indication that he caused it, in the episode Hero it starts. The beginning is Jimmy being a conman, this character is Slippin' Jimmy that is referenced later. It is obvious that Jimmy has several character transformations throughout the show and the names given to that time (3 so far; Slippin' Jimmy, Jimmy Mcgill and Saul Goodman) all equate to different characters. Slippin' Jimmy smokes weed, cons people and causes his brothers psychosomatic agoraphobia.
This is directly shown near the end of the episode Alpine Shepherd Boy. Near 34:00 of the episode his brother is discussing how Jimmy's appearance in the newspaper and his dishonest behavior caused Chuck to get tazed and suffer a sever electromagnetic sensitivity attack.
Then Jimmy literally says "From here on out I'm going to play by the rules". "I'm on the up and up" and "I will be good. Slippin' Jimmy? He's back in Cicero. Dead and buried". Character transformation complete.
Chuck nods in contemplation. "Ok". Removes foil blanket. "We'll see"
Chuck gets up and Jimmy asks "Where you going?"
Chuck responds "Somebody's gotta make that coffee"
Walking in his house completely devoid of any agoraphobic withdrawal symptoms he previously was experiencing Chuck walks off screen.
