Ambulance chasers comes to mind, boy do lawyers hate that.

They like Esquire better, or esq. at the end of their name, whatever. They go by attorney, counsel, counselor, advocate, attorney-at-law, attorney-in-fact, barrister, counselor-at-law, solicitor, legal professional, legal representative, trail lawyers, corporate attorneys.

I'm going to withhold what I like to call them for fear of being sued.
