Attorney and Lawyer are the same. After graduating from college, they must be accepted into a Law School, and upon graduation pass a State Bar Exam in each state they will practice law in.
A Paralegal is a person trained in legal research and practices, however it is illegal for them to solicit or practice law, and they can not represent "clients" in a Court of Law. Why aren't the folks that advertise for "cheap Paralegal divorces..." getting in trouble? They are selling "legal typing services"

attorney at law, lawyer and counselor at law are synonyms for a law school graduate who has passed the bar exam and has maintained his or her status as a member of the bar by keeping up with continuing legal education and paying membership dues. A paralegal is trained to assist an attorney. There are courses, but usually no exam or continuing maintenance requirements.
