History Literature / MickeyHaller

[[https://tvline.com/2021/01/11/lincoln-lawyer-series-netflix-manuel-garcia-rulfo-cast/ Haller will also be the protagonist of a series adaptation on Netflix]], where he will be played by Creator/ManuelGarciaRulfo.

* HotScientist: Dr. Shamiram Arslanian, the forensic scientist who testifies for Mickey Haller in ''The Brass Verdict'' and ''The Fifth Witness''. Beyond her technical expertise, Haller values her for her hotness, which impresses jurors.

Mickey Haller also appears as a character in several Harry Bosch novels, such as ''Literature/NineDragons'', ''Literature/{{The Crossing|2015}}'', ''Literature/TheWrongSideOfGoodbye'', ''Literature/TwoKindsOfTruth'', and ''Literature/TheNightFire''.

* CourtroomAntic: Mickey sometimes stoops to this in order to get the outcome he wants. His favorite variation, which he whips out about a dozen times per book, is asking a witness something that forces the judge to tell the jury to DisregardThatStatement.

* LoopholeAbuse: One of Mickey Haller's many [[Main/CourtroomAntic Courtroom Antics]]. He always ensures that he is acting within the letter of the law, but definitely ignores the spirit of it when he's trying to get something done. For example, in order to influence witnesses he has:

* PragmaticHero: Mickey will whip out some CourtroomAntic or ManipulativeBastard moves, or anything else within the scope of the law to give his client the best defense possible. His personal view is that the law is malleable, and his job is to beat the hell out of it. He also believes that the system is rigged in favor of the prosecution, and that, if they get to cheat, so does he. It's seldom shown in the book that the prosecution outright breaks the rules, but it's heavily implied that they do so, and part of Mickey's strategy is pointing out every case of withheld evidence, "sudden discoveries" that were actually found months before and should have been turned over, and the like, even while he does this himself.

* PragmaticHero: Mickey will whip out some CourtroomAntic or ManipulativeBastard moves, or anything else within the scope of the law to give his client the best defense possible. His personal view is that the law is malleable, and his job is to beat the hell out of it.

* VanityLicensePlate: Mickey Haller's "IWALKEM".

** Managed to sepina a witness to the stand, only to force him to take the fifth in front of the jury in order to bolster his case.

* {{Defictionalization}}: Zig-zagged in-universe; in the Literature/HarryBosch novel ''Literature/TwoKindsOfTruth'' it's revealed that ''Film/TheLincolnLawyer'' was a nonfiction docudrama and Creator/MatthewMcConaughey had not approached Haller about a sequel just yet.
