This is quite the surprise for Mickey, who hasn't practiced law in over a year.Īlong with the practice comes a high-priority case involving the murder of a woman and her lover by the woman's husband, a millionaire game developer. She informs him that a lawyer friend of his was killed, and in his will, left Mickey his entire law practice and all of his clients. Out of the blue, he gets a mysterious phone call to come to the chambers of a high-ranking judge in the L.A. He has also been out of the practice of being a lawyer since the accident. He had gotten into an accident over a year prior and still can't overcome the obstacle of returning to the water. When the series picks up, Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) sits on a beach with a surfboard, too afraid to go in the water. It was initially supposed to be on CBS before the pandemic got the pilot - and the show - canceled and landed on Netflix. I love that film and the character and Connelly's books, so I was a bit skeptical about the new series. The Lincoln Lawyer was already turned into a film in 2011, starring Matthew McConaughey as Mickey Haller. One of the biggest is The Lincoln Lawyer. Michael Connelly has created quite the literary empire for himself these days with four different ongoing book series.
