The Lincoln Lawyer

Mickey Haller, a charismatic and unconventional criminal defense attorney, operates his practice from the back of his Lincoln Town Car, navigating the labyrinthine legal system of Los Angeles. Known as the "Lincoln Lawyer," he represents a diverse clientele, from petty criminals to high-profile figures. For Haller, the law is often a game of negotiation and manipulation, where guilt and innocence are secondary to securing a favorable outcome – though occasionally, true justice makes an appearance. His world shifts when he takes on Louis Roulet, a wealthy Beverly Hills scion accused of a brutal assault. This "franchise case" promises substantial fees and appears to be a straightforward win, the kind that can turn an attorney's fortunes around. However, as Haller peels back the layers of the investigation, he uncovers chilling connections to a previous murder case he handled. What began as an easy payday quickly devolves into a perilous, high-stakes game. Haller finds himself facing an adversary of chilling cunning, forcing him to question everything he thought he knew about the law and his clients. To escape the trap set for him and protect his own life, Mickey must deploy every legal trick, every strategic feint, and every gut instinct he possesses, as his search for innocence brings him face-to-face with an evil as pure and consuming as a flame.
