* ShutUpHannibal: When Jimmy defends himself by showing result and interpreting his open mindedness to a commercial as justification for working behind his back, Cliff has none of that and points out that 30 seconds before leaving the building is not an agreement. Sure Jimmy didn't do it for evil but he didn't even get why what he did was wrong and justify it the same way a criminal justify himself.
* WhatTheHellHero: He admits that Jimmy is new to the whole teamwork thing but doing things behind the company's back and jeopardizing the company's image over one case did not make him happy.

to:

* PunchClockVillain: He acts like an attack dog on behalf of Sandpiper, a company that is cheating retirees out of their money, because it's his job and he legally has to represent them to the best of his abilities.
* VillainRespect: Mentions several times how he has great deal of respect and admiration for Chuck's abilities as a lawyer.
* VillainTakesAnInterest: In Kim Wexler, after seeing her legal talent in action, as well as seeing her put into an unwinnable situation without any support from HHM.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Tells Kim that a courtroom scenario she was placed in (trying to argue against a motion that a judge is nearly certain to rule against her on, without any support from the higher ups at her firm while the opposing legal side has all its big gun lawyers taking her on) reminds him of a similar situation he had to go through, and how it disillusioned him about the legal firm he was working at.


Added DiffLines:

* LawfulStupid: Has a reputation for being very difficult to bargain with, and when Jimmy tries at one point, Oakley simply keeps repeating the same phrase ("Petty with a prior") no matter what Jimmy does to try to reason with him. Hilariously, in that particular case Jimmy winds up showing that Oakley actually has his cases mixed up, and has been talking about the wrong case/defendant the whole time.
* MeaningfulName: '''Oak'''ley comes off as stiff and rigid.

Added DiffLines:

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He overlooked Jimmy's checkered past to offer him a position at Davis & Main. He gave Jimmy expensive perks, including a $7000 desk. He gave Jimmy a second chance after Jimmy aired an unauthorized commercial that could have damaged the firm's reputation. And Jimmy repaid him by purposely acting so obnoxiously that Clifford was forced to fire him but let him keep his signing bonus just to get rid of him.
