'elegant' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'attorney supports ombudsman's conclusion' is the wordplay.
'attorney' becomes 'atty' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'supports' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (bottom letters provide a support for the top ones).
'conclusion' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'ombudsman' is 'n'.
'atty' after 'n' is 'NATTY'.
