Oddly I didn't see those posts on my phone so I'll answer them here.

I copied directly from screens and usually characters like the butchers and Hatters have spelling errors, which can also be heard in their lines.

It's a long guess work and I might have the names wrong so I'll have to check again, but I'll give you my reasoning. Originally, I noticed that all the characters Timsh speaks to on the first, third and fourth floor have consistent models from one playthrough to another. Melissa the harassed maid and Scott Blossom the long-trusted bodyguards also have their own names, so I figured the DLC's writers might have given the lawyers specific ones.

First, I noticed it's not just consistent models, they always have the same set of dialogues and patrol animations. After some time, the blond-one will move to the double office J.Sterret/A.Thomson, while the black one will move from S.Tremblay to Benedict Gerwin and vice versa. That narrows their possible names down.

The black-haired lawyer is the easier to guess. In his lines, he seems to be more professional and organised. He does a bit of boot-licking to keep in Timsh's good grace, but he knows where to find Timsh as opposed to his colleague. He also seems the most experienced of them, as Timsh comments when the lawyer brings him results of a case.

In Note from a Lawyer (Note 2), B.Gerwin (of the four lawyers) seems to be the only one (if not counting A.Thomson of whom we know nothing) who is concerned with documenting cases and archiving them thoroughly. He was also concerned with security issues (Note from Timsh) and would conduct his work normally if not for Timsh's privileged clients (Timsh's Daily Business which also reveals his first name as Benedict). For me, the black-haired lawyer is most possibly Benedict Gerwin.

The blond one is more tricky. I noticed from their variety of dialogues he is trying to please or flatter Timsh, probably because he sucks as a professional lawyer. He also seems the cynical kind, and not a bit affected by Timsh's death.

In J.Sterret's note to S.Tremblay, Note from a Lawyer #1, Sterret's solution is more using Timsh's cheap tactics than working the case. From Note from a Lawyer #2, we also get that Sterret is not well organised or worse, hides his work to keep in Timsh's favor as a lawyer. So J.Sterret is a possible candidate for the blond ass mentioned above.

It's more or less valid conjunctions, but in the end it was mostly a mean for me to avoid naming them "Lawyer 1" "and Lawyer 2" since they seem to both have their own traits.
