"Attorney" or "Lawyer"
From the Associated Press Stylebook:
“In common usage the words are interchangeable. Technically, however, an attorney is someone (usually, but not necessarily, a lawyer) empowered to act for another. Such an individual occasionally is called an attorney in fact. A lawyer is a person admitted to practice in a court system. Such an individual occasionally is called an attorney at law.”
From my experience, folks in the professional community like to refer to themselves as attorneys rather than lawyers. I suppose “attorney” sounds a little more prestigious.
