Nick Fallin is a hotshot lawyer working at his father's ultrasuccessful Pittsburgh law firm. Unfortunately, the high life has gotten the best of Nick. Arrested for drug use, he's sentenced to do 1,500 hours of community service, somehow to be squeezed into his 24/7 cutthroat world of mergers, acquisitions and board meetings. Reluctantly, he's now The Guardian - a part-time child advocate at Legal Aid Services, where one case after another is an eye-opening instance of kids caught up in difficult circumstances.

This show has brought me through hell and back—but in a good way. I might be privileged but I could relate with every episode of the show. The professional, father son, father mother, community, mental health, city challenges and the extreme pathos and quietness of the acting. Drove me crazy, though. Made me depressed and sad a couple times. Beware.

I just started watching this show a couple days ago on Amazon Prime. I'm well into S2 and will probably finish up S3 in the next few days. Law genre will always get my attention but the strong character/relationship focus is wonderful. Dabney Coleman as Nick's father does a great job. Also, it's a treat to see stars like Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman Breaking Bad) and Erik Knudsen (Alec Sadler, Continuum) as kids.

After the first couple of episodes got well into this and have just binged watched the first 2 seasons. Starting season 3 now and will be sad to see it end. Highly recommend this.
