Billy is a very serious Lawyer, who just happens to be Ally's ex boyfriend for many years while they were growing up. Billy is also married to Georgia, and this love triangle relationship causes a lot of trouble in the office. When Billy find out that Ally is going to be working in the same place as him he is drawn between his love for her and for Georgia, but he tells Georgia that he married the woman he loved more, and that Ally will just have to deal with that, and she does 99.6% of the time.

Georgia Started as Ally's worst enemy, but it wasn't long before they were close friends. However Georgia is always cautious of Ally and Billy's relationship which is always being changed. Georgia and Ally get to fight out their differences in a kick boxing tournament where they both take there anger out on each other in vicious combat, with Billy looking on in disgust.

Ally's roommate and one of her best friends, She is an assistant district attorney, who has failed to win against 'Cage and fish' law firm; despite knowing them all well and regularly down the bar, accompanying Ally dancing with the twins. It is quoted that Renee and Ally are each other's greatest defenders and most well informed accusers.

She is the best secretary a law firm anywhere ever had, but she is also the worst. She organized, fast, and always cheerful, but will sue the same firm she works for in an instant if the mood strikes. However Elaine is lonely and Ally often tells her the things she does to bring attention to herself often make her look pathetic. Elaine also has a nack for inventing things, from the face bra, to cool cups, and in series two Ling produces and info-mercial for the face bra.

Nelle is a rainmaker (although Sleetmaker may be more appropriate), and is often called ' Sub-Zero Nelle' behind her back. Ally and all the women at the firm hate Nelle from the moment they set eyes on her, and Ally as reason. At every chance Nelle tries to put Ally down, but ridiculing her, or by giving her a cool, superior looking smile. When Nelle came onto the scene so does Ling her good friend and client.

Ling and Fish get together and create a very dynamic couple, bring out things in each other they never new could be.
