Answers:
yup
Rule 3 Capitalize a person's title when it precedes the name. Do not capitalize when the title is acting as a description following the name.
Examples Chairperson Petrov
Ms. Petrov, the chairperson of the company, will address us at noon.
Yes. It's a name.
Yes, it's his title, just like Doctor Smith, or President Smith....
yes
I think it would be better if you wrote, '...my attorney Mr/Mrs/Ms Smith' Solves all problems then.
Yes, that's his name/title.
Yes, since it is his title, it needs to be capitalized.
Yes because attorney is a name, right? capitalise attorney
Technically, yes. But the word "attorney" is not really the greatest title to use. I would find another way to say it.
Yes, always capitalize the A. Because that is part of is title. Another grammar rule!

You need to capitalize "attorney," since you are treating it as an title. But there may be a better way to state it to make it less awkward. If you were to say:
"I am meeting with Mary Smith, Attorney at Law." That is her title.
OR
"I am meeting with Defense Attorney Mary Smith."
OR
"I am meeting with the attorney, Mary Smith."
See the subtle differences? If attorney is the noun and general, you don't need to capitalize it. If it's part of the name or title, it needs the "A." That's what I think anyway.
How about ESQUIRE ? BUT YES CAP IT
And use spell ck all the time ok
