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. 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. 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. 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.

He is located in the law firm Crane, Poole & Schmidt. Bernard Ferrion: Under normal circumstances, I would agree with that.

As a junior partner at Crane, Poole & Schmidt and a former prosecutor, Lori Colson was inexplicably drawn to Alan in the first season. Initially, Lori focused her efforts on the practice of civil law, although after working with Edwin Poole, she felt more comfortable with criminal cases and believed they were incredibly emotionally rewarding. Although she is a close friend of Shirley Schmidt, she filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Denny Crane in the first season. Denny later apologized to Lori, although she left the company soon after. Alan later comments that Shirley «expelled Lori,» suggesting that she resigned under considerable pressure from managing partners.
