The Lincoln Lawyer - Mickey Haller Series 1

Mickey Holler has spent his entire professional life fearing that he wouldn't recognize innocence even if it were standing in front of him. What he should be worried about is evil.

Holler is the Lincoln lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who works from the backseat of his Lincoln, traveling between the far-flung courtrooms of Los Angeles and defending all manner of clients. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence – it’s more about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it’s even about justice.
A Beverly Hills playboy is arrested for assaulting a woman he met at a bar, he chooses Holler to defend him, and Mickey lands his first big-money client in years. It's every defense attorney's dream, the so-called franchise case. As the evidence piles up, Holler begins to think this is the easiest case of his career.
When someone close to him is murdered, Haller discovers that his quest for innocence has brought him face to face with the ultimate evil. To escape unscathed, he must use every tactic, distraction, and instinct at his disposal - this time to save his own life.

The Lincoln Lawyer was released in theaters in March 2011. The film stars Matthew McConaughey as Mickey Haller, Marisa Tomei as Maggie McPherson, and Ryan Phillippe as Louis Roulette.
