Which one do you use when someone asks you what you do for a living?
I'm partial to attorney, frankly.
I heard a black lawyer introduce himself as "Doctor Attorney" once

I know some fellow Jags who address each other as "Attorney ____" and "Attorney ____".

If I'm addressing a letter to a lawyer, I usually use ____, Esq. in the address line simply because Iona Tiger told me he does it

I like to use the word Esquire or Barrister.
Posted on 6/28/16 at 4:16 pm to Womski
I use them interchangeably like Doctor and Nurse Practitioner...

Either, usually attorney sounds better though.

Lawyer if they are a scumbag ambulance chaser. Attorney for ones involved in legitimate legal pursuits.

To me, Saying you're a Lawyer sounds more stern like you don't take crap & mean business. Saying you're an attorney seems more humble and business-like.

The only difference is that an attorney may actually HAVE a client.

Dr. Larry [last name], J.D., Esquire.
Seriously, if you use esquire other than addressing letters with the Esq. You are a douche.

For those of us who went to LSU, don't forget to throw that graduate diploma in comparative law in there:
