Queens Personal Injury Attorney Keetick L. Sanchez Clarifies The Difference Between Lawyer And Attorney
Queens, NY - K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C. (https://accidentlawyer-queens.com/difference-between-lawyer-and-attorney/) today shared guidance from Queens personal injury attorney Keetick L. Sanchez explaining the practical difference between a "lawyer" and an "attorney," and how that distinction relates to client representation in New York. The clarification addresses common confusion for injured individuals seeking counsel and outlines the steps from legal education to licensure. The term Queens personal injury attorney anchors the firm's focus on advocacy for accident victims across the borough and the greater New York City area.In the overview, Ms. Sanchez notes that the term "lawyer" historically described a person trained in the law, while "attorney" referred to a licensed representative who can appear in court and act on a client's behalf. Modern usage has converged, yet New York maintains clear licensure requirements for courtroom practice and client representation. The firm underscores that a Queens personal injury attorney must meet New York's admission standards, maintain registration, and comply with continuing legal education obligations to advise clients, file actions, and appear in proceedings.
The firm's outline also traces the academic and licensing path. Candidates typically complete a bachelor's degree and earn a Juris Doctor, then pass the Uniform Bar Examination, the New York Law Exam, and the MPRE. New York also requires completion of the New York Law Course, at least 50 hours of qualifying pro bono service, and satisfaction of Rule 520.18 on skills competency. Newly admitted attorneys complete 32 transitional CLE credits within the first two years, including ethics, skills, and practice credits, plus cybersecurity-credit requirements. Experienced attorneys complete 24 credits every two-year cycle with defined categories. This clarity helps injury victims evaluate qualifications when selecting a Queens personal injury attorney after a crash, fall, or workplace incident.
The release further explains professional duties that matter to injured clients. Attorney-client privilege under CPLR 4503 protects confidential communications made for legal advice, while New York's Rules of Professional Conduct impose broad confidentiality obligations on attorneys handling sensitive facts, medical records, and settlement negotiations. The firm emphasizes that privilege belongs to the client and that confidentiality extends beyond court filings to everyday consultation, email exchanges, and interpreter-facilitated meetings. By choosing a licensed Queens personal injury attorney, injured New Yorkers gain an advocate who can investigate claims, file lawsuits, negotiate with insurers, and present evidence at hearings and trial.
K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C. also highlights practical tips for verifying licensure. The New York State Unified Court System directory lists admission and registration status, which updates on a biennial schedule under Judiciary Law 468-a. Public disciplinary orders appear in official records, while ongoing investigations remain confidential. Reputable third-party attorney directories provide additional background, although the state registry remains the primary reference point. These checks help community members confirm that a Queens personal injury attorney is authorized to practice and actively registered.
