‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Trailer: Manuel Garcia-Rulfo Is a Crooked Attorney With a Lot of Style

Netflix has released a new trailer for The Lincoln Lawyer, an upcoming series about a morally ambiguous lawyer who uses a Lincoln Town Car as his office. Inspired by the novels by Michael Connelly, the series stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as the titular lawyer.

The trailer introduces Mickey Haller (Garcia-Rulfo) and his iconic Lincoln, adorned with a license plaque that spells “NTGUILTY.” It doesn’t take more than a glance to understand exactly what kind of lawyer Mickey is: rich, pretentious, and with a rooted belief that the Law should bend to his confidence. Mickey knows he’s good at what he does, but he doesn’t really care about true justice. Instead, he’s ready to take shady cases that can give him easy wins and increase his popularity. And more often than not, Mickey defends people he actually knows to be guilty.

Unfortunately for Mickey, not everything is going well in his life. For starters, his morally ambiguous work has led his wife (Neve Campbell) astray. And while Mickey is always ready to smooth-talk his way in court, he has a more challenging time getting his family back. Even worse, Mickey’s life might be in danger, as someone is following him and trying to make sure he doesn’t reveal any dangerous secrets. One of Mickey’s old cases is more significant than he thought, and to stay alive, he’ll need to solve it for real instead of just improvising.
