Jokingly, I like to say that Mickey Haller has the most dangerous job of any lawyer in America. And you know, the stakes keep rising for him in certain ways throughout the show, both emotionally, dramatically and even physically. We just thought: what could be better than suddenly Mickey Haller himself facing the danger that some of his clients face? And Michael readers [Connelly]The books will be familiar with the book we’re pointing the hat at when we do this. But it’s safe to say that in Season 4, the stakes for Mickey would be the highest they’ve ever been.
[Re: Maggie] I don’t know if the introductory scene was a vision of this, but we absolutely have a way to make Maggie a more prominent character going into season 4. We know what we’re going to do in season 4 and what story we want to tell. So we’re just waiting for word from Netflix on, hopefully, a pickup for season 4.

Our opinion on The Lincoln Lawyer, season 4
Bad news for Andy and Mickey fans
Maggie’s involvement could spell the end for Andy and Mickey. While Andy is arguably better suited for the unconventional lawyer, Maggie and Mickey’s relationship has more dramatic potential and a longer story. As Bosch was unable to help Mickey during the crisis period, Maggie could be one of Mickey’s greatest assets.
It looks like the creative team behind Lincoln’s lawyer has an elaborate plan to make Season 4 a lot of fun by adapting events from The Law of Innocence. All they need is the green light from the streamer. With season three leaving the show on such a cliffhanger, I hope Netflix fulfills everyone’s renewal wishes Lincoln’s lawyer for more seasons.
