The immediate translation would be 'avocat', i.e. a French solicitor or a barrister (UK).

However a French lawyer can also be a "notaire" (notary public) or a "avoué" (French lawyer appearing before the Appeal courts) or a "Huissier de justice" (the equivalent of a bailiff) who enforces judgments.

Hence, in France there are different categories of lawyers but there are plans to unify the profession and merge it into one single title: Avocat. French avoués will be something of the past as from 1 January 2012.

In summary, you would just say 'avocat' or 'notaire'. These stand for qualified lawyers, i.e. registered solicitors, barristers or attorneys. A non-qualified lawyer is called 'juriste' (the equivalent of a paralegal).
