Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law is an American legal drama, jointly created by David Victor and former law professor Jerry McNeely, that starred Arthur Hill. The series was broadcast on ABC from 1971 to 1974. A two-hour pilot movie had aired as a 1971 ABC Movie of the Week entry prior to the series run.

Synopsis[]

Hill starred as Owen Marshall, a compassionate defense attorney, who defended various clients in Santa Barbara, California, with the help of his young assistants. During the series run, several actors played the role of Marshall's assistants, including Reni Santoni, David Soul, and Lee Majors.

Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law had two crossovers with another David Victor series – Marcus Welby, M.D. In "Men Who Care", Welby (Robert Young) persuades Marshall to defend a man who is accused of killing his daughter's boyfriend, the daughter being one of Welby's patients. In "I've Promised You a Father", Marshall defends Welby's colleague Dr. Steve Kiley (James Brolin) in a paternity suit filed by a young nurse, who claims that Kiley is the father of her child.
