The show is based primarily on The Brass Verdict, the 2007 novel by Michael Connelly and the second book in his The Lincoln Lawyer novel series that started in 2005. In 2011, The Lincoln Lawyer book 1 (of the same name) was adapted into a movie (also of the same name) starring Matthew McConaughey. While Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer is adapting a different book, many of the same characters appear, but now with new actors and storylines.
Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer show follows criminal defense attorney Michael “Mickey” Haller Jr. as he gets back on his feet after a surfing accident and suffering from an addiction to painkillers.

With the help of his two ex-wives, Mickey is faced with juggling multiple new cases, including the high-profile murder trial of Trevor Elliot, a wealthy video-game designer.
