Line 4:
* [[Derailing Love Interests]]: Not as bad as some examples, but the revelation of {{spoiler|Justin's one night stand}} seems to exist solely to provide a reason for Kate to need space and be available to flirt with Ben. Particularly obvious as they were in the process of finalising their divorce and had made a relatively clean break at the end of the first season meaning that having them both choose to move on wouldn't have been an unreasonable part of the plot.
* [[Hello, Attorney!]]: Kate herself is fairly attractive, but a mediator, not an attorney. Her stepmother, Lauren, ''is'' an attorney. As is her ex-husband, played by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0873998/ Michael Trucco].
* [[Jerkass]]: Ben Grogen. He piles work on Leo<ref> Who's not even his assistant</ref>, constantly butts in on other people's conversations as if they didn't exist, and would rather get the best deal than help people. He may [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|seem to care to a degree]], but his [[Jerkass]] qualities outweigh any kindness he seems to give.
** Kate as well. As nice as she is to the client of the week, she repeatedly treats the people in her life like crap.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Grogen. He seems to be played like a funny, [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|if somewhat obnoxious]] lawyer who acts as a [[Love Interest]] to Kate, but comes across as a smug [[Jerkass]] [[It's All About Me|who only cares about himself]], and [[Amoral Attorney|doesn't give a damn about what's best for his client as long as it get's the most money.]]
* [[The Woobie]]: Lauren and Kate each occasionally end up in this role. Kate loses a home, husband, job, and father in the space of a year. Lauren loses her husband, gets little respect, gets blackmailed, etc.
