After lawyer Jerry Vincent is killed in a parking garage, all of his cases are given to defense attorney Mickey Haller. One of Jerry's cases is the high-profile Trevor Elliot case which sees Mickey defending a video game designer accused of killing his wife and her lover.

Mickey works primarily out of the back of his Lincoln Navigator, with help from his first ex-wife, Maggie, his second ex-wife, Lorna, Lorna's boyfriend, Cisco, and his personal driver, Izzy.

Mickey Haller Quotes

Legal: Now, what's so important that you had to see me the morning your trial starts?
Mickey: Someone left this on my doorstep last night.
Legal: That's an FBI target letter.
Mickey: Yeah, addressed to Alex Grant, also known as Alex Gazarian, my strawman.
Legal: I prefer the term alternate suspect, and this says that your alternate suspect is a person of interest in a federal investigation.
Mickey: Construction fraud. You know that e-mail Mitchell Bondurant sent? This puts it in a whole new light.
Legal: How so?
Mickey: Well, Bondurant sends an e-mail threatening to expose Alex Grant. By itself, it's not clear what he meant. The judge even said it wasn't enough to point the finger at him. She needed more. Well, this is more. This makes it look like Alex Grant was up to something illegal. That e-mail he sent wasn't a threat. He was blackmailed.
Legal: Blackmail's are pretty good motive to kill someone if it's legit. But this? This just shows up on your doorstep on the eve of trial. Either someone's really trying to help you, or they're really trying to fuck with you. You gotta find out which one.
Mickey: How do I do that?
Legal: Well, first, you gotta confirm that the letter is real or not, and you gotta do it fast.

Cisco: How'd it go?
Mickey: I won the battle, but if I can't come up with something else, we might lose the war.
Cisco: Yeah, well, maybe this will help. You
were right. There is a connection between Henry Dahl and Alex Grant.
Mickey: What did you find?
Cisco: Well, you know, Grant has all those shell companies. One of them is an S Corp named Pan Media, mainly invest in entertainment projects. This guy is the president of that company, David Webber. Mickey: Who's David Weber.
Cisco: He's the executive producer of Henry Dahl's last podcast. Something called Skid Romance.
Mickey: Great work, Cisco.

The Lincoln Lawyer Quotes

Mickey: Russell?What the fuck are you doing here?
Russell: I didn't wanna break another window, so I hopped the fence. I gotta say, today was amazing. I mean, I know you're good, but that was… [kisses] …something else.
Mickey: I don't know what you want, exactly, but--
Russell: Okay. You should probably hear me out. After all, you are my attorney. Paid an extra retainer to make sure of that, so I think that I probably want what any client wants, Mickey. I want your expert legal help. Being a lawyer, it comes with all sorts of duties and responsibilities, doesn't it? Like, the duty of confidentiality. That's the big one, right? The one where anything I say becomes our little secret, and you can't tell anybody, especially not the police. So, Martha Renteria had it coming. That bitch got exactly what she deserved. And then someone else went down for it, and he's about to go down for it again. But the best part is, now,bthere's nothing you can do about it.

I know what you're thinking. "The parking garage? Again?"
