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 (later of Starsky and Hutch fame) and Lee Majors, formerly of The Big Valley and The Men from Shiloh. Majors co-starred in the series prior to his appearance in The Six Million Dollar Man.
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's 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.
