- Oscar, a French bulldog, is a key member of Wolfe Law Group. The firm's website calls him "the Boss."
- Hanna, a cat, is obsessed with printing. Anytime someone prints, she runs up and destroys the documents on the way out of the printer.
- Ransome, a black lab, considers his primary responsibility to be a greeter, followed closely by under-the-desk sleeper and snorer.
