Attorneys are also recognized as lawyers. Attorneys graduate from law school and they can also choose to practice law as a profession. An attorney does not just interpret the law; he also applies his knowledge of the law to provide the needs of his client. Attorneys act as lawyers but not all lawyers can perform the work of attorneys.
