Excellent. Thanks Clifford. 
BTW, @attorneys.id isn't what you think, in your original code.
You got the Ruby object_id, not the id attribute from ActiveRecord.
This is a major trap, because it sometimes does what you want.
Just ALWAYS write @thing[:id] instead... or build your schemas with
config.active_record.primary_key_prefix_type = :table_name
and suffer the fact that the generators might not all do the right
thing.
