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

      "Do you have a lawyer?"

      "I don't need one!"

        That would be "Nie potrzebuję prawnika"

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

            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)

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