By announcing the departure of one character in Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer season 4, the legal drama cuts short a great season 3 twist.
Her presence inThe Lincoln Lawyerseason 4is a welcome addition, while also proving dangerous for Mickey as he navigates his legal defense. Dana’s willingness to do whatever it takes to get a conviction is similar to how the title character will go above and beyond in defending his clients. The duo are two clashing sides of the law,with the prosecutor likely proving to be a more ruthless opponent than Andy(Yaya DaCosta) when she was on the other side.

Zimmer’s Portrayal of Dana Will No Doubt Be Memorable
Since she’ll be appearing in every episode of season 4, Dana’s tactics will be a thorn in the team’s side as they try and prove the protagonist’s innocence. While Lorna (Becki Newton) will likely be taking a leadership role, given she recently passed the California bar exam, she’ll be up against a very tough opponent for one of her first cases ever. This means Zimmer’s character could clash with her in particular, asThe Lincoln Lawyergives Mickey’s team more of a spotlight while they try and set him free.
