Recommend a solicitor? (8)
I believe the answer is:
advocate
I believe this is a double definition.
'recommend' is the first definition.
('advocate' can be a synonym of 'recommend')
'a solicitor?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for advocate that I've seen before include "Argue for" , "Speak in favour of" , "Publicly recommend" , "Defender" , "One argues another's case" .)
