Apart from the main lead, who else stole your heart? Well, for us, we loved Cisco, Lorna, Maggie, and Trevor as well. They are some intense humane characters that showed reliability, warmth, intensity, flaws, and dependability throughout the narrative.
And the lead, Mickey Haller is someone who is a charming talented lawyer, skillful at his profession, knows what he is doing, and a good person by heart who will definitely warm you up. He misses his 1st ex-wife and would love to get back together. He is very genuine to his clients, not a corrupt being, and is a great family guy.

The additional member in his circle is Izzy his driver and an ex-client who also comes close to his man with a gold heart. They share their life experiences and we watch Mickey teaching Izzy about Jury selection.
Trevor Elliot on the other hand is the complete opposite of this man. A jealous cunning unfaithful man who killed his wife and her lover and is looking forward to making improvements in both his life and career. He is a rich guy who will not stop at anything.
