Mickey Haller is a criminal defence attorney who works in LA County California which is mostly from the back of his black The Lincoln Town Car and it is chauffeured by Earl Briggs.
Generally his career was defending low end criminals like a biker club led by Eddie Vogel.
Haller’s ex-wife, DA Maggie McPherson, has always disliked him representing guilty clients, though they remain close. Haller wonders if he was wrong for persuading Martinez to plead guilty to avoid the death penalty.
Haller visits Martinez, who becomes agitated when Haller shows him Roulet’s photo.

Some Sayings About the Lincoln Lawyer Movie by the Author –
After watching the movie on 12th November 2010, Michael Connelly who is the author of the book said that –
The movie comes out March 18. A couple days ago I saw an unfinished cut of it and could not be happier. I thought it was very loyal to the story and the character of Mickey Haller. Matthew McConaughey nails him. Those who loved the book will love the movie, I think. Those who don’t know the book will love it just the same. The casting and acting is really superb. Like I said, I could not be happier. I’m very excited and can’t wait to see what fans of the book think.
