"Nie mam prawnika."

Translation: I do not have a lawyer.

[DagoVago]

I really hope to never use this one.

[hellscrossing]

I would also be happy to use it all the time.

"Do you have a lawyer?"

"I don't need one!"

[chce_polski]

Those who represent themselves in court have a fool for a client.

[Yola448704]

Nie mam (żadnego) prawnika. Nie jest mi (do niczego) potrzebny! -
I do not have an attorney / I have no attorney. I do not need one!

[idanlipin]

That would be "Nie potrzebuję prawnika"

[znafca]

Nie potrzebuję go

[kermodii]

Well, they better call Saul!

[GeoffreyKi4]

What horrible pronunciation!

[DanielDabrowski]

Are "adwokat" and "prawnika" different type of jobs? Because when I was in Poland, I used a "adwokat" for sue a guy....

[Jellei]

"adwokat" is technically a person that gives you help in terms of the law (legal advice etc.), but I think it's usually associated with the person representing you in court.

"prawnik" is the most general term for a "lawyer".

[vbenic]

Is prawnik also an advocate in court? Or do you have a separate word for that as we do in Croatian?

[immery]

It can be. Prawnik is a word for all people whose job is related to law- a Law school teacher, a prosecutor, a judge, a lawyer that can represent people in court, a lawyer who negotiates corporate deals, notary etc. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prawnik

"Adwokat" and "Radca prawny" are two kinds of lawyers that can represent people in court, I don't really get the difference, but I think "adwokat" can take all kinds of cases, but has to be self employed.

Also it is customary to call a lawyer "mecenas". https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecenas_(prawnik)

[caleblea]

Just as a note; in the UK and Ireland we say Solicitor not Lawyer

[Jellei]

We generally do accept it, so added here as well.

[eggers7]

I entered "trawnika", and it was accepted, although this is obviously nonsense.

[Jellei]

It's not nonsense, it's just a completely different sentence :D I don't have a lawn. Huh, 'lawn' isn't that far from 'lawyer'.

But yeah, it shouldn't be accepted... :/

[HiMeCriss]

Prawnik must come from the word prawda, truth, and I think that's cool!

[alik1989]

I think it's more likely that it's derived from 'prawo' (law), but it's indeed etymologically related to 'prawda'.

[PauloSanto801520]

What aboit a female lawyer? Prawnikka?

[Jellei]

Female lawyer - "prawniczka", in this sentence: "Nie mam prawniczki". It's accepted.

[Sven720356]

Better call Saul
