Family lawyer of sorts? (5)
I believe the answer is:
kinda
'of sorts?' is the definition.
(contraction of 'kind of')
'family lawyer' is the wordplay.
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
'lawyer' becomes 'da' (abbreviation for District Attorney).
'kin'+'da'='KINDA'
(Other definitions for kinda that I've seen before include "Courageous" , "somewhat informal" , "Rather casual" , "Informal sort of" , "in a way" .)
