I believe it's just British (lawyer) and American (attorney).

'Lawyer' is an all purpose word for a person qualified in law.
All the other words for legal professionals refer to types of lawyer, and are specific to the country concerned. Attorney is a type of lawyer specific to the US legal system.
In the UK, for example, the two main types of lawyers are barristers and solicitors.

Hello Mahy. How are you?
Lawyer / definition "A person learned in the law; as an attorney, counsel or solicitor; a person who is practicing law."[------Henry Campbell Black, Black's Law Dictionary, 5th ed. (St. Paul: West Publishing Co., 1979), 799
To wit, Lawyer and Attorney are synonymous. They refer to the same profession.
