I think we all know that lawyer in Spanish is abogado. But do you know what a lawyers office or practice is called?

No using the dictionary. Let's see what you come up with.

U guess I should have said no native speakers as well. Very good. Bufete Jurídico is most common here, but I have also seen despacho in a few locations. - gringojrf, Nov 8, 2012

I did know "Bufete" after seeing it in a newspaper article one day, but the word "despacho" is most common here in this part of Guatemala.

Obviamente hay regionalismos dentro de la misma república porque en la capital "despacho" es el más común.
