Attorney
Attorneys, or lawyers, work in a variety of settings within the legal sector. Attorneys advise clients of their legal rights and represent them in civil and criminal cases. Each state requires that an attorney obtain a legal license in order to represent a client in a legal matter or give legal advice. Attorneys are thought of as representing clients in a court of law, but most work is transactional and involves legal analysis of documents.
