The Lincoln Lawyer is an American legal drama television series created by David E. Kelley and developed by Ted Humphrey based on Michael Connelly’s novels.

The first season, which premiered on Netflix on May 13, 2022, is based on Connelly’s 2008 novel The Brass Verdict, a sequel to his novel The Lincoln Lawyer.

Critics largely gave it positive feedback, and the show received a second season renewal in June 2022. The first part of season two was released on July 6, 2023, and the second part will be released on August 3, 2023.

Where is ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ filmed?

The Lincoln Lawyer was filmed in various locations throughout Los Angeles, California, USA. One notable place featured in the series is Elysian, a popular restaurant in LA’s Frogtown neighborhood.

However, elysian is not a functioning restaurant and serves as a retreat venue and film and photo shoot space. The art department transformed the venue to fit the look and ambiance needed for the show.

‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ plot 

The Lincoln Lawyer follows the story of Mickey Haller, a moderately successful criminal defense attorney who operates out of a Lincoln Town Car driven by a former client. 

Haller has primarily defended ordinary criminals throughout his career until he lands the case of a lifetime. Louis Roulet, a wealthy playboy accused of brutally beating a prostitute, becomes Haller’s most high-profile client. 

Initially believing in Roulet’s innocence, Haller and his investigator, Frank Levin, analyze the evidence and discover striking similarities to a previous case where their client, Jesús Martínez, was wrongly convicted.

As Haller delves deeper into the case, he starts to question his past actions and whether he should have fought harder for Martínez’s innocence. 

Bound by attorney-client confidentiality, Haller cannot reveal his suspicions about Roulet to the police. However, when Levin is mysteriously killed, Haller becomes a suspect and realizes that Roulet may be the real killer in the Martínez case.

Despite his doubts, Haller fiercely defends Roulet in court, cross-examining the victim and discrediting her testimony. With the help of a prison informant who lies on the stand, the defense successfully moves to dismiss the charges against Roulet. 

However, immediately after his release, Roulet is arrested for the previous murder case, thanks to evidence Haller obtained during the trial.

Aware of Roulet’s vengeful intentions, Haller takes precautions to protect his family. When Roulet arrives at Haller’s home to carry out his plan, Haller has already evacuated his wife and child. 

A group of bikers, whom Haller previously represented, brutally attacks Roulet. Haller returns home to find Roulet’s mother waiting for him. 

She confesses to the murder of Levin and shoots Haller, but Haller manages to shoot her with a gun acquired from his driver fatally.

After recovering from his injuries, Haller discovers that Levin had found a parking ticket near the house of the murder victim, providing crucial evidence against Roulet in his upcoming trial. With Martínez set to be released, Haller prepares for his next case, riding off into the future.
