Paul Lewiston is Managing Partner of the Boston office and legal counsel to Crane, Poole & Schmidt. Paul is experienced in client relations and is an expert in Far Eastern markets and legal issues of companies doing business in this part of the world. Unlike Denny and Alan, Paul usually does things strictly “according to the book.” He had several antagonistic clashes with Denny and Alan due to their apparent lack of respect for the law. Her middle-aged daughter, Rachel, is introduced as a meth 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, he is rarely considered a father figure to his grandson in the Boston office. It was Lewiston who negotiated the takeover of Crane, Poole & Schmidt by a Chinese law firm in the series finale, although he later began to regret the action. As a senior partner at Crane, Poole & Schmidt, Carl left the New York office to help Shirley lead the Boston office after Paul Lewiston retired from a leadership role to focus on his granddaughter`s education. At first, he could not accept the reckless behavior of the Boston office and considered returning to New York.

However, he found a foothold in the Boston office and became a mentor to employees, especially Katie Lloyd, Clarence Bell and Jerry Espenson. He also interfered in the sometimes surreal legal activities of the Litigation Division, including filing a lawsuit against television networks in which plaintiffs demanded that they broadcast programs for people with functional brains. Carl is an old flame of Shirley and the marriage proposal in “Thanksgiving”. Shirley and Carl are married in the series finale by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia in Nimmo Bay. Boston Legal is an American drama film directed by David E. Kelley. Starring James Spader, Candice Bergen and William Shatner, the series was produced for ABC in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Boston Legal aired from October 3, 2004 to December 8, 2008. The series is a spin-off of the Kelley series The Practice and stars practice actors such as Spader, Rhona Mitra, Lake Bell and Shatner. It takes place in the law firm of Crane, Poole & Schmidt. Garrett Wells was introduced in the second season premiere 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 into backing down on his demands for money. He is not as effective in the courtroom and is humiliated more than once by objective judges. He is also intimidated by Catherine Piper, Alan Shore`s caterer and former assistant, who drives him out of his own office. We don`t see him again after the end of season 2. It is not clear if he is still in the company or if he was fired by the partners without explanation. During the second season, he begins a relationship with a paralegal and initially shames the company because of their timely sexual encounters. Tara Wilson first worked as a paralegal at Young, Frutt & Berlutti. Tara is fired from the company after informing Alan of her impending dismissal and is hired to work at Crane, Poole & Schmidt, the firm representing Alan`s civil case. She then became a lawyer. Tara and Alan eventually began a sexual relationship after his separation from Sally Heep, although their relationship came to a head when he hired a group of men to attack a man he had previously fought with. When Tara is reunited with one of her ex-boyfriends, the two break up and she soon leaves Crane, Poole & Schmidt.

His departure leads Alan to question his emotional aptitude for a relationship. Also known as Clarice, Clevant and “Oprah”. In his usual role, Clarence is desperately shy and introverted and often has difficulty maintaining eye contact. To cope with this disadvantage, he plays roles like other people who embody the qualities he cannot embody. He originally sued his workplace for discrimination on the basis of sex. He is hired by CP&S as an assistant to Claire Simms, and after it turns out that he is a law graduate who has been admitted to the bar, he becomes a partner. For a while, he and Claire are an object. With his entry into the Litigation Division, he and Jerry Espenson became friends, and he enjoyed a mentorship of sorts with Carl Sack. He disappeared at the end of season 4 without explanation. Brad Chase is the man others turn to when they need to do something.

He often draws on his experience in the Marine Corps to intimidate others and take on physically demanding tasks.
