Alan is best friends with (and later husband of) Denny Crane despite their sharp differences in political ideologies.Ī named partner of Crane, Poole & Schmidt, Dennis 'Denny' Crane is a renowned attorney of some fifty years of practice who claims he has never lost a case, and never will. He has resigned himself to the fact that he will never be made partner at the firm due to his unpredictable behavior and lack of trustworthiness while the managing partners of Crane, Poole & Schmidt do not fully trust Alan, they do recognize his talent as an attorney. Alan suffers from night terrors, has a fear of clowns, and gave up his home, preferring instead to live in hotels. Wherever he works, he treats his coworkers with levity and refuses to take himself too seriously. He is disappointed and disillusioned with how the country has changed in recent years, and routinely confronts these issues in open court. Alan is, however, unwavering in his defense of the underdog (unless he is representing the other party). Illicit computer hacking, blackmail, disguise and bribery are all tools he uses without hesitation.
