As a senior partner at Crane, Poole & Schmidt, Carl left the New York office to help Shirley manage the Boston office after Paul Lewiston left a leadership role to focus on raising his granddaughter. At first, he couldn`t accept the reckless behavior of the Boston office and thought of returning to New York. However, he found his feet in the Boston office and became a mentor to the staff, especially Katie Lloyd, Clarence Bell and Jerry Espenson. It is also part of the sometimes surreal legal activities of the Litigation Division, including bringing a lawsuit against television channels in which the plaintiffs demanded that they broadcast programs for people with functional brains. Carl is an old Shirley flame and proposes to her in “Thanksgiving.” Shirley and Carl are married in a civil ceremony by Antonin Scalia, a Supreme Court justice, in Nimmo Bay in the series finale. Garrett Wells was introduced in the premiere of the second season as a cheeky young lawyer who is obviously attracted to Denise. He goes over her head with some clients, but helps her by blackmailing her ex-husband`s lawyer/pastor to get her to abstain from her requests for money. He is not as effective in the courtroom and has been humiliated more than once by sober judges. He is also intimidated by Catherine Piper, Alan Shore`s caterer and former assistant, who actually drives him out of his own office.
We will not see him again after the end of season 2. It is not clear if he is still with the company or if he was fired by the partners without any explanation. During the second season, he begins a relationship with a paralegal and initially shames the company for his misaligned sexual encounters. Tara Wilson first acted as a paralegal at Young, Frutt & Berlutti. Tara was fired from the company after informing Alan of her impending dismissal and is hired to work at Crane, Poole & Schmidt, the company that represents Alan`s civil case. She then became a lawyer. Tara and Alan eventually began sex after his breakup with Sally Heep, although their relationship had a rough time when he hired a group of men to attack a man he had already fought with. When Tara reconnects with one of her ex-boyfriends, the two separate and she quickly resigns from Crane, Poole & Schmidt. Their departure leads Alan to question his emotional fitness for a relationship.
Paul Lewiston is managing partner in the Boston office and counsel to Crane, Poole & Schmidt. Paul is experienced in client relations and an expert in Far Eastern markets and the legal issues of companies operating in this part of the world. Unlike Denny and Alan, Paul usually does things strictly “according to the book.” He had several antagonistic arguments with Denny and Alan over their apparent lack of respect for the law. Her middle-aged daughter, Rachel, is introduced as a methamphetamine addict in Season 2, and Paul has her kidnapped and taken to a rehab center. He takes custody of his daughter (granddaughter) Fiona. After that, as he is related to his grandson with his father figure, he is rarely seen in the Boston office. It was Lewiston who negotiated the acquisition of Crane, Poole & Schmidt by a Chinese law firm in the series finale, although he later began to regret the action. Boston Legal is an American film directed by David E. Kelley.
The series, starring James Spader, Candice Bergen and William Shatner, was produced for ABC in collaboration with 20th Century Fox Television. Boston Legal was released from October 3, 2004 to December 8, 2008. The series is a spin-off of the Kelley The Practice series and stars actors such as Spader, Rhona Mitra, Lake Bell and Shatner. He is located in the law firm Crane, Poole & Schmidt. A determined employee who moved to the New York offices of Crane, Poole & Schmidt after a separation. Upon her arrival at the company, Whitney is immediately thrown into a case involving a bullfighting child whose mother wants sole custody. Claire also has a habit of wearing a New York Yankees hat in the city of Boston. The fast-paced and wildly comic series confronts social and moral issues as its characters constantly push the boundaries of the law. She finds Denny Crane disgusting after being groped by him seconds after arriving at Crane, Poole & Schmidt (after which she said, “Jeffrey, the rough man caresses me.”). She agreed to the transfer of the New York office with Coho against her best judgment. Despite her abrasive behavior and penchant for the word “ick” to show her displeasure, she showed a softer side when she cross-examined a transvestite man, Clarence Bell, in a discrimination case.
Clarence is now her boyfriend. He was their secretary, but after they became “exclusive”, Clarence asked to be reassigned and is now Alan Shore`s secretary. As a young employee from England and a graduate of Harvard Law University, she was taken under the wing of Shirley Schmidt and assigned to share an office with Jerry Espenson, with whom she often tries cases and develops a platonic friendship and later a romantic relationship. Denise Bauer was introduced as an aggressive young lawyer at the beginning of the show`s second season. Denise, a senior partner at Crane, Poole & Schmidt, was rejected when her husband filed for divorce on day one in Boston, insisting that she pay him so he could live while building his career as a mediocre golf professional. Her distractions over divorce cause her problems in some cases, although she later agrees to compensate her husband with a one-hundred-thousand-dollar alimony. In the second season, Denise begins a relationship with a terminally ill man named Daniel Post, a romance that leads her to travel to a haunted house to retrieve her head after his death. Denise`s first professional blow came when she switched to a partnership in the spring of 2006, although she was considered a safe bet. In the third season, Denise discovers that she is pregnant with Brad`s baby, and from the seventeenth episode, she had decided to have the baby. She later married Brad Chase and, after a long maternity leave, took a position as a partner at another law firm.
Later, she returned as an opposing lawyer. She is fluent in Italian. Sara Holt is a smart lawyer who doesn`t go beyond using her own beauty to help her client. Sara, a first-year colleague, is a good friend to her colleague Garrett Wells, and the two often conspire to win business in unethical ways – the most notable of which was the seduction and blackmail of a minister. Sara works mainly with Denise Bauer, although she has the idea of a relationship with Alan Shore and both dates on one occasion. She left the series in the second season, without any explanation. Sally Heep first appeared as a partner at Crane, Poole & Schmidt. Sally was featured in The Practice and began a relationship with Alan who transitioned to Boston Legal. However, after he used it to get information from a witness against his client so that they could suppress his testimony, she broke up with him. Shortly after Shirley took over the Boston office, she fired Sally for repeated mistakes in preparing cases that tested her competence as a lawyer. Sally returns in the third season as an opposing lawyer (“Whose God Is It Anyway?” and “The Verdict”).
Jeffrey Coho is an intense and formidable defense attorney from the New York office of Crane, Poole & Schmidt, who joins the Boston law firm in Season 3 accompanied by Claire Simms.
