Garcia-Ruflo plays the titular character in The Lincoln Lawyer, who tackles some of LA’s toughest cases from the comfort of his luxury car, the iconic Lincoln Navigator.

In The Lincoln Lawyer, Newton plays Mickey Haller’s second ex-wife and now his chief legal aide, Lorna Crane. Whilst there might still be some tension between her and Haller, Lorna is now engaged to Cisco and has arguably become the backbone of the entire group as we head into the second season.
