The Guardian (2001)

The series revolved around protagonist Nick Fallin, a corporate attorney sentenced to 1500 hours community service with Legal Services of Pittsburgh as the result of a drug conviction. The plot focused on Nick's community service and recovery from drug addiction, as well as his strained relationship with his father who was President of the corporate law firm where Nick was employed full time. In the series, despite his ennui in the whole child welfare milieu, Nick is as vigorous representing his child clients as he is representing his corporate ones.
