They are the same,, in the UK we have lawyers or solicitors and in the US they are called an attorney.

I believe a lawyer is someone who has the qualifications to practice law (be a prosector or defense attorney) because they got the degree and passed the state bar exam. An attorney is a lawyer who actively practices law (they work in the law field). So, every attorney is a lawyer but not every lawyer is an attorney.

Lawyer and attorney is the same meaning. They mean both of consultant lawyer and lawyer in court.

Hi Jacob! How are you doing? In the United States: Attorney= Lawyer So, an attorney is a lawyer, especially one who can represent somebody in a court. I hope this helps! Keep up the good work.
