List of Boston Legal characters

''Boston Legal'' is an American legal-comedy-drama created by David E. Kelley, which was produced in association with 20th Century Fox Television for the ABC. The series aired from October 3, 2004, to December 8, 2008.
''Boston Legal'' is a spin-off of long-running Kelley series ''The Practice'', following the exploits of former ''The Practice'' character Alan Shore (James Spader) at the legal firm of Crane, Poole & Schmidt.
The following is a list of characters appearing in the series.
==Characters==

* Alan Shore (played by James Spader, ''The Practice'', Season 8, 2003–2004; Boston Legal, Seasons 1–5, 2004–2008): A brilliant lawyer with a strong moral core who nevertheless is not above obtaining ethical outcomes through unethical means. Illicit computer hacking, blackmail, disguise and bribery are all tools he uses without hesitation. Alan is, however, unwavering in his defense of the underdog (unless he is representing the other party) and an indefatigable patron of various left-wing causes. He is disappointed and disillusioned with how the country has changed in recent years, and routinely confronts these issues in open court. Wherever he works, he treats his coworkers with levity and refuses to take himself too seriously. Alan suffers from night terrors, has a fear of clowns and, in two episodes, suffered from word salad. He has resigned himself to the fact that he will never be made partner at the firm due to his unpredictable behavior and lack of trustworthiness. While the managing partners of Crane, Poole & Schmidt do not fully trust Alan, they do recognize his talent as an attorney and will often give him the latitude to go about his unorthodox means if they feel it will benefit the firm. Alan is best friends with Denny Crane despite their sharp differences in political ideologies. He is also a womanizer and was married in the past, his wife having since died. He convinces Chang to keep the litigation team on the payroll at CP&S, "Shirley Schmidt, Denny Crane, Carl Sack, Jerry Espenson, Katie Lloyd, me. We run the show."
* Lori Colson (played by Monica Potter, Season 1, 2004–2005, guest appearance Season 2, 2005): A junior partner at Crane, Poole & Schmidt and former prosecutor. Lori found herself inexplicably attracted to Alan during the first season. Late in the first season, she nearly filed a sexual harassment claim against Denny. Lori has since left the firm, either under pressure from or fired by Shirley.
* Tara Wilson (played by Rhona Mitra, Season 1, 2004–2005, guest appearance Season 2, 2005): A paralegal at Young, Frutt & Berlutti, she graduated from law school in time to go with Alan to Crane, Poole & Schmidt. After a long flirtation on both ''The Practice'' and the half of the first season of ''Boston Legal'', Tara and Alan finally began a sexual relationship, but the arrival of an old boyfriend led her to break up with Alan and quit the firm.
* Sally Heep (played by Lake Bell, Season 1, 2004, guest appearance Season 3, 2006): An associate at Crane, Poole & Schmidt. First introduced in ''The Practice'', Sally began a relationship with Alan that crossed over into ''Boston Legal''. However, after he used her to get information from a witness against their client so they could suppress his testimony, she broke up with him. Shortly after Shirley took over the Boston offices, she fired Sally for repeated errors in case preparation that called her competence as a lawyer into question. Sally returns in Season three as opposing counsel (“Whose God Is It Anyway?” and “The Verdict”). This appearance addresses her transformation from an insecure junior to an assertive and sexually exploitive character.
* Denise Bauer (played by Julie Bowen, Seasons 2-3, 2005–2006, guest app. Season 5, 2008): An aggressive young attorney introduced at the start of Season 2, Denise is thrown when her husband files for divorce and insists that she pay him so he can live while setting up his career as a mediocre golf pro. Her distractions over the divorce cause her trouble with some cases. In episode 14 of the third season, Denise discovers she is pregnant, and as of the seventeenth episode, she had decided to have the baby. After discovering that A) the baby is Brad Chase's, and B) that she is in love with him, she plans a big church wedding and goes into labor while she is going down the aisle. Brad and Denise are married moments before the birth of their daughter by Judge Robert "Poopycock" Sanders. She leaves Crane, Poole & Schmidt after her maternity leave, and becomes a partner in a different law firm. In that role, she subsequently crosses swords with Alan Shore in the courtroom.
* Garrett Wells (played by Justin Mentell, Season 2, 2005–2006): Also introduced in the second season premiere, Garrett is a brash young attorney who is obviously attracted to Denise. He does go over her head with some clients but aids her by blackmailing her ex-husband's attorney/pastor to get him to back down from his demands for money. He is not all that effective in the courtroom, being humiliated on more than one occasion by no-nonsense judges. He is also intimidated by Catherine Piper, the caterer and former assistant to Alan Shore, who actually runs him out of his own office. He is not seen after the end of Season 2. It is unclear whether he is still with the firm or was let go by the partners.
* Sara Holt (played by Ryan Michelle Bathe, Season 2, 2005–2006): Introduced in the second season premiere, Sara is a smart lawyer who isn't above using her own beauty to help her client. A first year associate, she is not seen again after the end of Season 2. It is unclear whether she is still with the firm or was let go by the partners.
* Jeffrey Coho (played by Craig Bierko, Season 3, 2006): An intense, grandiose criminal defense attorney from the New York branch of Crane, Poole & Schmidt who joins the Boston firm in Season 3, accompanied by Claire Simms. Jeffrey is as comfortable with making enemies as he is making friends. He had a fleeting relationship with Denise, and as such is cordially despised by Brad Chase. After finding out that Denise's baby is not his, Jeffrey leaves the firm in episode 15 of Season 3 wearing his Buzz Lightyear costume.
* Claire Simms (played by Constance Zimmer, Season 3, 2006): A smart, sexy lawyer who, along with Jeffrey Coho, joins the firm in the second episode of Season 3. She did undercover work in the Scott Little case, and has a penchant for flirting with witnesses. Claire initiated a relationship with Clarence Bell, who was first her assistant and later a fellow associate. She was written out following the end of Season 3, absent any explanation.
* Clarence Bell (played by Gary Anthony Williams, Seasons 3-4, 2006–2007): Also known as Clarice, Clevant and "Oprah." In his default persona, Clarence is hopelessly shy and introverted. To deal with this drawback, he role-plays as other people who embody the characteristics he cannot. He originally sued his place of employment for gender discrimination. He is hired by CP&S as Claire Simms' assistant, and after it is discovered he is a law school graduate who has been admitted to the bar, he becomes an associate. For a time, he and Claire are an item. Joining the Litigation Division, he and Jerry Espenson become friends, and he enjoys something of a mentoring relationship with Carl Sack. He disappeared at the end of Season 4 with no explanation.
* Katie Lloyd (played by Tara Summers, Seasons 4-5, 2007–2008): A young British attorney hired by Shirley, and assigned by Carl to share an office with Jerry. A talented and moralistic young woman, able to see the good in people that others cannot, Katie becomes best friends with Jerry, helping him with his behavioral issues caused by his Asperger's Syndrome. She is rather surprised at how fiercely protective of her Jerry can be. As Jerry comes to understand more of social behaviors, the two eventually begin to date and were asked to be present at Carl and Shirley's wedding. In their last onscreen appearance, they kiss outside Katie's apartment house, with the implication they are now an item.
* Lorraine Weller (played by Saffron Burrows, Season 4, 2007–2008). An Englishwoman by birth, Lorraine came to America as a result of an agreement with the British government. She had been a high class madam in London, with a string of escorts who serviced ''very'' senior members of the British government (and, it was rumored, the Royal Family). Her current citizenship is unclear, though it may be presumed she is a naturalized American. She graduated from Harvard Law School and was admitted to the Massachusetts bar. Joining Crane Poole & Schmitt as a litigator, her background is discovered by Whitney Rome and Katie Lloyd—who also discovers, following Jerry's losing his virginity to an escort who had fallen for him, that Lorraine is still a practitioner of "the oldest profession," running strings of high-priced escorts in Boston, New York, and Washington, DC. Shortly after this information became known at the firm, Lorraine left Crane, Poole & Schmidt. Whether she resigned or was fired is unclear.
* Whitney Rome (played by Taraji P. Henson), Season 4, 2007–2008) A strong-willed associate who transferred to Crane, Poole & Schmidt’s New York offices after a break-up. In her arrival at the firm, Whitney is immediately thrown into a case involving a bullfighting child whose mother wants sole custody.
* Brad Chase (played by Mark Valley, Seasons 1-3, 2004–2006, guest app. Season 4, 2007): The man who the others turn to when they need something done, relying on his Marine Corps background to intimidate others. Brad helped Denise rescue a kidnapped child by extracting information from a priest, accidentally chopping off the priest's fingers in the process. Later, he went undercover to discover if Paul Lewiston's daughter was still using meth. Brad hated Alan initially, but later became slightly more tolerant of him. He was made a partner in Season 2. In Season 3, he has a relationship with Denise that evolves from "friends with benefits" to marriage. After Denise becomes pregnant, he leaves the firm to become a district attorney. Brad and Denise are married moments before the birth of their daughter by Judge Robert "Poopycock" Sanders.
* Jerry Espenson (played by Christian Clemenson, Seasons 2-5, 2005–2008): An attorney diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, although his quirks seem to be a misrepresentation of the syndrome, being closer to Tourette's Syndrome than Asperger's. These quirks include purring whenever he feels anxious and upset; constantly exclaiming "Bingo!" as an affirmative; hopping when excited; and awkwardly walking with his hands pressed to his thighs (which earned him the moniker "Hands Espenson" among the other CP&S attorneys). Since his diagnosis, Jerry has received mental and behavior modification therapy which has increased his confidence in dealing with people. Before his disorder was diagnosed, he was arrested for holding a knife to Shirley's throat after being denied partnership in the firm for the third time. Shirley dropped the charges against him after Alan promised to get Jerry the therapy he needed. After therapy, he founded his own successful law firm and opposed Alan Shore in a few cases, beating him in court despite Alan's employment of various tricks intended to rattle him. Jerry was able to use his firm and its client list as levers to rejoin CP&S, moving from the Corporate Law department to Litigation, where he was surprisingly successful, to the delight of Alan and Shirley. He made partner in the final season, following a declaration of support from Denny Crane and an eloquent speech of his own to the partners. Carl Sack, who had initially been dubious about him, was proud to extend the offer of partnership in the firm to Jerry.
* Paul Lewiston (played by Rene Auberjonois, Seasons 1–3, 2004–2006 guest app. Season 4, 2007, Season 5, 2008): Managing Partner of the Boston office and legal advisor of Crane, Poole & Schmidt. Paul is skilled in client relations and is an expert in Far Eastern markets and legal problems of corporations doing business in that part of the world. Unlike Denny and Alan, Paul generally does things strictly "by the book." He has had several antagonistic run-ins with Denny and Alan over their apparent lack of respect for the law. His middle-aged daughter, Rachel, is introduced in Season 2 as a meth addict, and Paul has her abducted and placed in a rehab center. He takes custody of her daughter (and his granddaughter) Fiona. After this, being tied up with being a daddy to his grandchild he is seldom seen in the Boston office. It was Lewiston who negotiated the acquisition of Crane, Poole & Schmidt by a Communist Chinese law firm, not realizing until the very end of the process that he had played the role of Judas Iscariot to the law firm he had helped to build into a name respected around the world.
* Carl Sack (played by John Larroquette, Seasons 4-5, 2007–2008): A senior partner at Crane, Poole & Schmidt, Carl transferred from the New York office to help Shirley in managing the Boston branch following the withdrawal of Paul Lewiston from a leadership role to concentrate on raising his granddaughter. He is initially unable to come to terms with the carefree conduct of the Boston office and once considers moving back to New York. However, he finds his footing in the Boston office, becoming a mentor to the associates, particularly Katie Lloyd, Clarence Bell and Jerry Espenson. He also falls in with the sometimes surreal legal activities of the Litigation Division, notably by filing a lawsuit against the broadcast television networks in which the plaintiffs demanded that they air programs for people with working brains. Carl is an old flame of Shirley's and proposes to her in "Thanksgiving." Shirley and Carl are married in a civil ceremony by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia at Nimmo Bay in the series finale.
* Shirley Schmidt (played by Candice Bergen, Seasons 1–5, 2004–2008): Name Partner of ''Crane, Poole & Schmidt''. Shirley first appeared during the first season. She attended Wellesley College where she met her share of intelligent Harvard students. Shirley used to have a romantic relationship with Denny, a past she now views with sardonic detachment, often making jokes about it. She is portrayed as extremely desirable in the series: smart, sexy, and sought after by many of the men around her, including her ex-husband Ivan Tiggs and fellow lawyers Denny, Alan, Jeffrey Coho and Carl Sack. She eventually marries Carl in the series finale.
* Denny Crane (played by William Shatner, ''The Practice'' 2004, Season 8; Boston Legal, Seasons 1–5, 2004–2008): Name Partner of Crane, Poole & Schmidt, Denny is a renowned attorney of some fifty years of practice who claims he has never lost a case, and never will. He considers himself a legend and loves to say his own name to "sign" his verbal utterances. In one of the final episodes of ''The Practice'', he explained that often people don't believe they're in the room with a legend, so he says his own name to let them know it's true. Denny often refers to a condition he calls "mad cow" when his utterances are confusing to others or when he himself becomes confused. While there are instances of prion diseases in humans, it is much more likely that Denny is suffering the early stages of Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. While he is still trying cases as late as Season 1 of ''Boston Legal'', by Season 2, he seems to have lost most of his talent for complex litigation, though he still shows flair in appealing to a jury in closing arguments. He is a conservative who believes gun control is for "communists" and refuses to defend anyone who is accused of extremely heinous acts; in one episode, he shoots a client because of the nature of his crime (raping and murdering a child). Denny is also a womanizer like Alan, and has no problem sleeping with the wives of judges and clients. Though he marries another woman in Season 2 (from whom he is quickly divorced after engaging in an act of infidelity at their wedding reception), he still pines for Shirley Schmidt.
