J.D. stands for Juris Doctor. This is the degree that people earn when they graduate from law school. Attorney at law means the person finished law school and is licensed to practice by the state bar association. Most J.D.s are attorneys, but a person who finishes law school yet does not obtain a law license would still be a J.D., though not an attorney at law.
