In Britain, they call them solicitors. Which is funny, because here in the colonies, solicitation is a criminal offense with implications of prostitution. :-)
LAW-yer. You know, because they (allegedly) practice LAW and not LOY. Californians used to make fun of me for pronouncing it correctly. I was born and raised near Galveston though, so half the shit I say is pronounced weird and usually has a couple extra Rs thrown in for good measure.
You could be all pretentious and say "Counselor" like Bill O'Reilly.
