For Screen Rant, Nick Bythrow wrote: ‘The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 offers a tightly-focused story on Mickey Haller’s most compelling case yet, as the Netflix original procures a wild ride.’

In FandomWire, Ricky Valero said: ‘If you were a fan of the first two seasons of The Lincoln Lawyer, you will love this season. The writers have found the best parts of Michael Connelly’s books and brought them to the small screen to develop a courtroom drama worthy of bingeing.’

Sherin Nicole noted in Riotus: ‘It’s clear why Netflix was quick to renew The Lincoln Lawyer…[its] ability to deliver headline-inspired cases and cracked-up but comforting characters, upended by pathos-laced arcs, makes it one to look forward to.’

Becki previously told Town & Country Magazine her role in The Lincoln Lawyer was unexpected: ‘On paper, I would not have guessed this is where I would’ve ended up.

Speaking about the third season, Becki, 46, said: ‘I think people are going to be shocked. It’s very clear that with these characters, there are so many more stories to tell.

‘I want to do more and see what happens to Lorna. It’s unbelievable how many different places it can go.’
