attorney's
Belonging to counsel
Attorney's is the possessive form of attorney, indicating something belonging to or associated with a lawyer: the attorney's office, my attorney's advice.
It also forms the possessive in phrases like attorney's fees—the charges a lawyer bills for legal services.
Don't confuse with the plural attorneys.
