Terribly neat Tory lawyer (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

attorney

'lawyer' is the definition.
(I know that lawyer can be written as attorney)

'terribly neat tory' is the wordplay.
'terribly' indicates an anagram.
'neat'+'tory'='neattory'
'neattory' is an anagram of 'ATTORNEY'.

(Other definitions for attorney that I've seen before include "Person legally appointed to act for another" , "- jar; - tent; - metal" , "Person appointed to act for another in legal or business matters" , "One legally acting for another" , "Advocate" .)
