‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Sneak Peek: Why Mickey Must Win Trevor’s Trial (VIDEO)

Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) may be about to lose a high-profile client, video game mogul Trevor Elliott (Christopher Gorham), on The Lincoln Lawyer, if he can’t assure him that his upcoming trial will go exactly as he wants it to in TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the new Netflix series.

“The one thing that I have left is my legacy,” as well as the technology he created and company he and his wife built from it, Trevor tells his lawyer. But Mickey wonders what that has to do with anything. “I negotiated a deal, Mickey. A very lucrative one for my company to be acquired, for our technology to be licensed all across the industry. That deal is how I cement my place in history,” the man accused of murdering his wife explains. “That deal is how my investors get paid. But if this goes on any longer or God forbid, we lose, that deal goes away, and then I really will have lost everything. But that’s not going to happen, is it, Mickey?” Watch the clip above for more.
