The series aired from October 3, 2004 to December 8, 2008. Palmer is a highly effective, selfish, complacent and arrogant lawyer who often relies on his charm and Southern accent to attract clients and lawyers. He is known to represent large corporations involved in immoral activities against their respectful customers. As part of his façade, he is extremely (but wrongly) friendly and charming, and uses it as a strategy in almost all his cases. It is only once that he drops his facade, when Katie Lloyd calls him “disgusting” and exposes him as a cold, amoral and manipulative lawyer. Lori, along with Denny and Shirley, defends a principal who fired three science teachers for refusing to teach creationism and is now being sued by them; Alan learns that his assistant has expressed concerns about their working relationship. Alan discovers that his client Bernard Ferrion, who killed his mother, may have killed again, and this time his neighbor; Sally is fired and learns that a close associate is not too eager to lend a helping hand in support. Alan is surprised to see a familiar face – Catherine Piper (from a previous episode of The Practice in which she witnessed Alan`s murder case in her hometown – best known for shaking Alan`s hand with “” on his gloves in retaliation for his childhood pranks). After abducting a witness and physically assaulting a priest, Brad is tried and asks Denny and Shirley for help in saving him. Alan`s full hands have to do with his secretary`s financial difficulties when his credit card company charges ridiculous interest rates, which they have put into debt by $50,000.

He can first be seen in the second season of Boston Legal, where he depicts a credit card company that charges outrageous interest rates, and later a production company accused of murder after a talk show goes wrong. Alan immediately despises Palmer because he often defends commercial enterprises that have committed illegal practices against their customers, his false friendly facade, and because he reminds Alan of a bouncing clown doll that used to scare Alan and, as he says, always came back when he knocked her over. Although he has lost all his lawsuits to Alan, he remains complacent and does not care because he is always paid; a fact that makes Alan angry.
