What's an "atty?"
(Do you really need to abbreviate "attorney"?)

It's an extremely commonly used abbreviation for attorney. Maybe without it the title exceeds HN's character limit?

It was the easiest way to fit the title within the text constraints of the field while still keeping clarity.

The way abbreviations are tossed about around here, I'm surprised anyone would even notice.
