Is there any real difference between the terms lawyer and attorney?
The main difference is the word usage which varies by area. In some areas lawyer and attorney are exactly the same thing. But in some areas the difference may be that a lawyer is learned in law, whereas an attorney actually can represent you.
Can you work as a lawyer in another country?
AnswerYES you can if you are a foreign lawyer and hell bent to wear the lawyer's gown in Canada. First you have to apply for assessment of your foreign legal credentials to the National Accreditation Committee (NCA) based at Ottawa. You will be informed of requirements of courses/credits before you can be given an equivalence certificate equating you wth a Canadian law graduate. You will be informed if you need to meet these requirements at a Canadian Law School or through Challenge exams held by NCA or an option to do it by either of the two. Of course this will depend on their assessment. If you are from a Common Law system and have worked for years as a lawyer you will be asked for lesser requirements to meet than say if you are from a non common law legal system in which case you may have to almost go through the entire Law School Programme. After you meet NCA requirements, you get an equivalence certificate saying you are as good as a Canadian LL B. This certificate enables you to sit in any provincial Bar society exam. It depends on that Law Society again based on their assessment if you are and to what extent required to do the internship. Having done the internship and passing bar you are licensed to practice law by the law society of the province.

What does ineffective counsel mean?
Ineffective counsel means that the lawyer did not make an adequate effort to represent the client. It does not imply that the case should have resulted in a particular decision.
Can a lawyer represent his own employee or can a lawyer represent his own family?
Generally, yes. But there are situations where an attorney must recuse himself, or other situations where the court will not permit a lawyer to represent a spouse. It's all on a case by case basis, and the law and also legal ethics will determine what may or shouldn't be done. The court is the final arbiter in these matters. But note that if an attorney represents a spouse, and it is later determined that it was illegal or unethical (owing to facts not know at the time), a complaint with the bar or even an indictment may follow. This is a general question, but this general answer probably outlines the situation adequately.
How do you defer a speeding ticket in Washington State?
The person who would represent themselves in a court of law has a fool for a lawyer. Period. Personal experience CRIES OUT that you obtain/retain a lawyer, quickly. Even what is generally perceived as a "cheap traffic lawyer" can prevent that ticket from appearing on your driving record, preventing a future "unforeseen rise" in your insurance premium that may follow you for seven years- or more- yes; REALLY.
