• The film is based on Michael Connelly's novel 'The Lincoln Lawyer' (2005).
• Tommy Lee Jones could have taken the director's chair, but he left the project due to creative differences.
• The events of the film take place in the same universe as 'Blood Work' (2002).
• The character of Matthew McConaughey, Mick Haller, also appears in Michael Connelly's novel "Nine Dragons." In one scene from the book, a suspect claims that Mick can provide him with an alibi.
• Michael Connelly wanted Matthew McConaughey to play Mick after seeing his performance in the film "Surfer, Dude" (2008).
• Frances Fisher's filming began in Los Angeles the day after she finished filming "Sedona" (2011), that is, on July 28, 2010.
• Marisa Tomei and William H. Macy previously starred together in "Wild Hogs" (2007). In both films, Tomei's character is named Maggie, and Macy's character is Frank.
• When Mick enters his apartment after a phone call with Maggie, he opens the door on the right, but when Roulet leaves him, the hinges are on the opposite side. Accordingly, the door also closes on the other side.
• In the courtroom scene, when the bailiffs ask the jurors to leave the courtroom, they exit, and the sound of a door closing is heard. The next shot shows that some of the jurors are still in the courtroom.
• Mick's car license plate reads NTGUILTY. In California, license plates are only allowed to be seven characters long, but this one has eight.
• When Mick finishes talking to the bikers and the car drives away, the engine sound appears after the car is already moving.
• Mick is shot in the left arm, but when he leaves the hospital, his right arm is bandaged.
• The voicemail message from Frank, which Mick listens to twice, is different the second time. The first time, Frank did not mention parking stubs.
