- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
The car-dwelling attorney is ready for his small-screen debut, and there's nary a Matthew McConaughey in sight.
In the first trailer for Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer, below, we're re-introduced to iconoclastic idealist Mickey Haller, who runs his law practice out of the back of his Lincoln as he takes on cases big and small across the expansive city of Los Angeles. Hailing from creator David E. Kelley, the series is based on The Brass Verdict, the second book in the Lincoln Lawyer series by Michael Connelly. (McConaughey previously portrayed Haller in the 2011 big-screen adaptation.)

Manuel Garcia-Rulfo takes over those duties here. "One thing I know is, success is all about momentum. In court, you can win, but you've got to believe you can win," he can be heard saying in the trailer. And if you don't? "Then, you better fake it til you make it," he adds. The clip also teases the personal and professional spiral that led to the fracturing of his family and his present unique circumstances, as well as an unexpected opportunity from a fellow attorney that seems to set the plot in motion.
