Reply to "UK PAYPAL"

Just guess work and the internet ;-)

*Very roughly* (because I don't really understand the full ins and outs of it myself)...

Solicitors are the lawyers you go to for legal advice and to act on your behalf in legal matters. So where I believe you would say go and see an attorney or your attorney will be in touch, we would say solicitor (or sometimes we'd say lawyer, but he would actually be a solicitor).

I believe in the States your attorney can also do the Perry Mason bit for you in court. Over here a solicitor can represent you in the lower courts but when it comes to the higher courts he has to engage and 'brief' a barrister. They are the ones in the wigs (they'll be referred to as "counsel" in court).
