Vincent was murdered the night before in his office building's garage. Judge Mary Townes Holder soon informs him that he has inherited the active cases of a lawyer named Jerry Vincent. Mickey Haller, the criminal defense attorney who had put his law practice on hold while he recovered from the aftereffects of taking a shot to the gut - including a ferocious painkiller addiction - gets a call from the office of the chief judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court. It's 2007 and the Lincoln lawyer is back in business. It was a client decision and if he ever claimed I took it away from him or refused to let him testify, I would have the bar swarming me like lawyers at a plane crash. I didn't want him to testify but it was unethical for me to forbid it. His face began to turn a deep shade of crimson. "We'll get you prepared to testify but we won't make the decision until we get into the defense phase of the trial and we see where we stand." "Well, ultimately it is your decision," I said. He poked his finger at me with each syllable of the last sentence.
