A Lawyer, also known as an Attorney, is a professional in charge of providing counseling, advice, and representation to their clients on legal matters. A common misconception is that all Lawyers deal mostly with criminal law, but there are many specializations they may choose from, including tax law, immigration, litigation, and commercial law. 
  
These professionals may have different titles and duties, depending on where they work. For example, Lawyers who represent a government entity are known as Prosecutors. Most lawyers work in law firms, which can specialize in a specific area of law practice, or may have several different types of Lawyers as part of their staff. They may also be self-employed, running a firm, and offering their services to individual clients. 
  
In all legal matters, a Lawyer is both counselor and advisor to their clients. When a client’s problem escapes the area of expertise of an Attorney, they will often refer them to a trusted colleague that may assist them.    
 
Personality of a Lawyer 

• Detail Oriented  

When it comes to the law, every detail is critical, especially for a lawyer's everyday work, which some might consider less significant. Lawyers find solutions for their clients by paying attention to the details, no matter how small and insignificant they first seem. As a Lawyer, there is an expectation that you are an expert representative of the law where you reside. To go far in this field, practicing lawyers should have a firm grasp of local regulations and remain sharp-eyed and detail-oriented to help land their cases. 

• Confident  

Lawyers often need to argue their cases, and to do this effectively, they must present the facts like an expert. Having expert knowledge will provide a definite boost of confidence when presenting their arguments. Lawyers must be strong, articulate communicators. Clients hire lawyers as their representatives, so they must be confident, educated, and well-spoken.  

• Skeptical  

As a Lawyer, you need to be skeptical and critical of everything, including the information you receive and your clients. Every detail that passes your desk will need to be double-checked, especially before presenting your case to the court. Lawyers often have to question their clients' claims, and having natural skepticism is a quality that will help them succeed.
