Legal Lens: Viewing Law Through Ingrum Expertise
The terms “attorney” and “lawyer” are often used interchangeably, but is there really a difference? Jay from Ingrum Law Firm sheds light on these legal titles and shares his personal preference for being called an attorney.
Understanding the Terms: Jay explains that there isn’t a significant difference between an attorney and a lawyer. Both terms refer to individuals who are qualified to practice law. However, Jay prefers the title “attorney” because it sounds more formal and professional.
Personal Preference: Jay’s preference for the title “attorney” is influenced by his father, Robert G. Ingrum, who always had “Attorney at Law” on his business cards. This tradition has carried on with Jay, who believes that “attorney” conveys a sense of formality and respectability that he values.
Different Roles in Law: Jay also clarifies the roles of different types of attorneys, such as district attorneys who prosecute criminal cases for the state and defense attorneys who represent individuals accused in criminal actions. Understanding these distinctions can help clients better navigate their legal needs.
At Ingrum Law Firm, we respect the importance of both titles and the roles they play in the legal profession. Jay’s insights offer a glimpse into the personal and professional significance of being an attorney.
