Short description
Mick Haller is a charismatic defense attorney who does business out of his Lincoln Continental sedan. Mick spends most of his time defending petty crooks and other bottom-feeders, so it comes as quite a surprise when he lands the case of a lifetime: defending a Beverly Hills playboy who is accused of attempted murder. However, what Mick initially thinks is an open-and-shut case with a big monetary reward develops into something more sinister.
What's left behind the scenes
- Marisa Tomei and William H. Macy previously starred together in "Wild Hogs" (2007). In both films, Tomei's character is named Maggie, and Macy's character is Frank.
- Mick's car license plate reads NTGUILTY. In California, license plates are only allowed to be seven characters long, but this one has eight.
- Mick is shot in the left arm, but when he leaves the hospital, his right arm is bandaged.
- Michael Connelly wanted Matthew McConaughey to play the role of Mick after seeing his performance in "Fool's Gold" (2008).
- When Mick finishes talking to the bikers and the car drives away, the engine sound appears after the car is already moving.
- When Mick enters his apartment after a phone call with Maggie, he opens the door on the right, but when Roulet leaves him, the hinges are on the opposite side. Accordingly, the door also closes on the other side.
- Michael Connelly wanted Matthew McConaughey to play Mick after seeing his performance in the film "Surfer, Dude" (2008).

- The film is based on Michael Connelly's novel 'The Lincoln Lawyer' (2005).
- The voicemail message from Frank, which Mick listens to twice, is different the second time. The first time, Frank did not mention parking stubs.
- The events of the film take place in the same universe as 'Blood Work' (2002).
- Tommy Lee Jones could have taken the director's chair, but he left the project due to creative differences.
- Frances Fisher's filming began in Los Angeles the day after she finished filming "Sedona" (2011), that is, on July 28, 2010.
- In the courtroom scene, when the bailiffs ask the jurors to leave the courtroom, they exit, and the sound of a door closing is heard. The next shot shows that some of the jurors are still in the courtroom.
