EXPLAINED: The Lincoln Lawyer, Mickey Haller’s Relationships in the Michael Connelly Universe

The Lincoln Lawyer is currently one of the most popular shows on Netflix,
treading right behind the final season of Ozark. Right after a week of its
release, the show is certainly making headlines. While it has many an element of
a cliche court drama, it is far from one. But, as is a telltale sign of all
legal dramas, the series has a great number of characters whose lives are
entangled in some very confusing ways.

Here’s a run-down of all major characters from The Lincoln Lawyer and their
respective relationships with Mickey Haller


MAGGIE MCPHERSON (NEVE CAMPBELL)


FIRST EX-WIFE

After Mickey (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) himself, the next major role in the Netflix
Original [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals] is that of Maggie
McPherson. She is Mickey’s first ex-wife and the mother of his daughter. Apart
from her role in Haller’s personal life, Maggie also holds the title of deputy
district attorney.


LORNA SHORE (BECKI NEWTON)


SECOND EX-WIFE

If there is one person who knows how to keep their exes close, it is Mickey
Haller. Not only is he on good terms with his first ex-wife, but his second wife
in fact works with him. While Lorna is engaged to another man (the private
investigator) now, she works as a sort of paralegal for Mickey.


HAYLEY HALLER (KRISTA WARNER)


DAUGHTER

Being the daughter of two very smart people, Maggie and Mickey, Hayler certainly
has inherited the brains. As she manages her tween life, she is also constantly
noticing and questioning the work her father does.


DENNIS “CISCO” WOJCIECHOWSKI (ANGUS SAMPSON)


THE PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR

would be the one where Mickey brings in Cisco. Cisco is a warm man with
deceiving looks who doesn’t seem like he was part of a biker gang. He used his
clean criminal record to make a career for himself as a private investigator.


IZZY LETTS (JAZZ RAYCOLE)


THE CHAUFFEUR

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=31965

The title of the Netflix [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news]series and the
nickname of the main character comes from the fact that travels across Los
Angeles in the backseat of his Lincoln car. After he wins a case in favor of
Izzy Letts, who does not have the means to pay him back, Mickey agrees to make
her his chauffeur as payback.
