Quick Synopsis
Mick Haller is a skilled defense lawyer in Los Angeles who operates his practice from the back seat of his Lincoln Continental. He usually represents low-level criminals and small-time offenders, but his routine changes when he is hired to defend a wealthy Beverly Hills playboy accused of attempted murder. What starts as a seemingly straightforward case with a large fee soon becomes complicated as Mick uncovers unexpected and dangerous elements behind the charges.
Detailed Synopsis of The Lincoln Lawyer
Mick Haller is a charismatic defense attorney who does business out of his Lincoln Continental sedan. Mick spends most of his time defending petty crooks and other bottom-feeders, so it comes as quite a surprise when he lands the case of a lifetime: defending a Beverly Hills playboy who is accused of attempted murder. However, what Mick initially thinks is an open-and-shut case with a big monetary reward develops into something more sinister.
