Crossword Genius

Brave attorney gets call (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

daring

'brave' is the definition.
(daring can mean adventurous or courageous)

'attorney gets call' is the wordplay.
'attorney' becomes 'DA' (abbreviation for District Attorney).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'call' becomes 'ring' (telephone call).
'da'+'ring'='DARING'

(Other definitions for daring that I've seen before include "Risque" , "Boldness" , "Courageous" , "Challenging or defying" , "Intrepid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
