conversations.value: The Lincoln Lawyer (film): Criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller (Matthew McConaughey) operates around Los Angeles County, mostly from the back seat of his black Lincoln Town Car, chauffeured by Earl (Laurence Mason).\nMost of Haller\'s career has been defending garden-variety criminals, including a local biker club led by Eddie Vogel (Trace Adkins).\nA high-profile case comes his way and Haller is hired to represent wealthy Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe), a Beverly Hills playboy and son of real estate mogul Mary Windsor (Frances Fisher).\nRoulet is accused of brutally beating prostitute Regina Campo (Margarita Levieva).\nRoulet insists he is the innocent victim of a frame-up.\nHaller and his investigator, Frank Levin (William Macy) analyze photos and evidence and find it similar to one of Haller\'s past cases that resulted in a life-sentence for his client, Jesus Martinez (Michael Peña), for murdering a woman, despite his repeatedly proclaiming his innocence.\nHaller\'s ex-wife, prosecutor Maggie McPherson (Marisa Tomei), has never appreciated Haller representing guilty clients, though they remain close.\nHaller wonders if he should have done more for Martinez rather than persuading him to plead guilty to avoid the death penalty.\nHaller visits the prison, where Martinez becomes agitated when Haller shows him Roulet\'s photo.\nHaller now believes Roulet is the killer in the Martinez case, but, bound by attorney–client confidentiality rules, is unable to reveal what he knows.\nRoulet breaks into Haller\'s house and nonchalantly admits to committing the murder for which Martinez was convicted.\nHe makes veiled threats toward Haller\'s ex-wife and their daughter.\nLevin is found shot to death after leaving Haller a voicemail message claiming that he found Martinez\'s "ticket out of jail".\nLevin was shot with a.\n22 caliber pistol, and Haller discovers that his late father\'s.\n22 Colt Woodsman is missing from its box.\nDetective Lankford (Bryan Cranston), who dislikes Haller, discovers the gun\'s registration and suspects Haller\'s involvement in Levin\'s murder.\nHaller is certain that Roulet stole the weapon when he broke into Haller\'s home.\nObligated to do his best for his client, guilty or not, Haller ruthlessly cross-examines Campo and discredits her in the jury\'s eyes.\nHaller then sets up a known prison informant with information on the previous murder.\nWhen the informant testifies, Haller discredits him, and the state\'s attorney (Josh Lucas) can only move to dismiss all charges.\nRoulet is set free, to his mother\'s delight, but the police arrest him immediately for the previous murder, based upon testimony Haller coaxed from the informant.\nHaller acquires a pistol from his driver, Earl, for protection.\nRoulet is released due to lack of evidence and intends to kill Haller\'s ex-wife and daughter.\nHaller is waiting at Maggie\'s house when Roulet arrives.\nHe mockingly tells Haller that he cannot guard his family all the time.\nThe bikers whom Haller previously represented suddenly arrive and brutally beat Roulet.\nMaggie discovers that Levin had found a parking ticket that was issued to Roulet near the previous murder victim\'s house.\nIt is strong evidence against Roulet in his pending murder trial and will support Martinez\'s innocence.\nUpon arriving home, Haller discovers Roulet\'s mother, Mary Windsor, waiting inside.\nShe shoots him with the Colt Woodsman, confessing that she murdered Levin to protect her son.\nA wounded Haller shoots and kills her.\nWhen Haller is released from the hospital, he learns that Martinez has been released, and that the District Attorney will seek the death penalty against Roulet.\nAs Haller rides off to his next case, he is pulled over by Vogel and the biker gang, whose next case he takes pro bono due to their previous help.

conversations.value: The Lincoln Lawyer: Moderately successful criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller operates around Los Angeles County out of a Lincoln Town Car (hence the title) driven by a former client working off his legal fees.\nWhile most clients are drug dealers and gangsters, the story focuses on an unusually important case of wealthy Los Angeles realtor Louis Roulet accused of assault and attempted murder.\nAt first, he appears to be innocent and set up by the female "victim".\nRoulet\'s lies and many surprising revelations change Mickey\'s original case theory, making him reconsider the situation of Jesus Menendez, a former client serving time in San Quentin State Prison after pleading guilty to a similar and mysteriously related crime.\nHaller outmaneuvers Roulet (revealed to be a rapist and murderer) without violating ethical obligations, frees the innocent Menendez, and continues in legal practice, though not without much self-examination and emotional baggage.
