attorney vs lawyer
Definitions
noun
- a professional person authorized to practice law; conducts lawsuits or gives legal advice
Examples
Over 20 factors were analyzed amongst the DUI attorneys sampled, including whether free consultations are offered, if a lawyer is willing to do 'outcall' (meaning they will meet with potential clients outside the office), how aggressive the defense of the client is, the degree to which each client is offered access to their lawyer, how much time is spent with each client talking by phone or over email, and other factors.
Given that the DA will see his chances for re-election dwindle if he/she is perceived to be soft on a multiple felony slam-dunk conviction case against a spoiled, arrogant, crime-committing, room-temperature-IQ behemoth, I suspect the moron in question (e.g., the football player), after considerable wheeling and dealing by his zealous defense attorney -- who is just doing his job, will likely receive felony deferred adjudication from the appropriate court.
This all plays to the core competence of business attorneys.
