Thread Name: Barrie Roberts website?
Subject: RE: Barrie Roberts website?
It is rather confusing to Americans, not because we don't know what a solicitor is, but because the site describes Barrie as a Criminal Lawyer.

Is a solicitor's clerk also an attorney?

If not can you be a lawyer but not an attorney in English parlance?

In American parlance, generally Lawyer and Attorney are synonyms.
