The punctuation police officer inside of me compels me to comment on the placement of the apostrophe. If the intent was to state that the diplomas are those of multiple attorneys then the apostrophe must come after the “s”. If the intent was to pluralize the word attorney then no apostrophe is to be used. Sorry, folks, I am seeing the use of apostrophes to denote plurality everywhere I look and it is driving me bonkers.

I think I’d get a second opinion over any of his diagnoses.

Lay off Tigdi. I was a career editor, and this kind of stuff just jumps out at me.
