Nick Fallin (Simon Baker) 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.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The character and the show sneak up on you in clever, unexpected ways and prove a gratifying surprise."
-
"Tonight's opening episode of The Guardian is as well-crafted as any of this fall's series pilots. The hour plays like a tidy little TV movie."
-
"A drama that is solid, though not spectacular, and a star more charismatic than complicated"
-
"'The Guardian', despite having some promise, wears prominently on its forehead the scarlet 'P' of predictability"
-
"I swear I have no idea what The Guardian is supposed to be about. But I don't think the producers or CBS do, either"
-
"Despite two great character actors as support-this manipulative and cloying series neither rings true nor strikes the emotional chords it all too transparently wants to pluck."
