Question about English (US)
I saw two expressions which are "work in a lawyer's office" and "work at a bank". I wonder if it is proper to say "work at a lawyer's office" and "work in a bank"

work at a lawyers office definitely works. work in a bank can also work,I'm sure,it just seems a bit off to me as I may be more used to at a bank

Thanks. But is there any difference between 'work in lawyers office' and 'work at a lawyer's office '?

@2c65c802 honestly,not really. It's just the same with the bank with 'at' sounds a bit better. but 'in' works better with a lawyers office than with a bank for me
