Attorneys and lawyers are legal professionals who are trained and licensed to provide legal advice and representation to individuals, organizations, and businesses. While the terms “attorney” and “lawyer” are often used interchangeably, there is a subtle distinction between them.

In general, a lawyer is someone who has obtained a law degree and has been admitted to the bar association of a particular jurisdiction, allowing them to practice law. They have studied and gained knowledge in various areas of the law, such as criminal law, civil law, corporate law, family law, and more.
