I am also a lawyer and here were my solutions:
1) I carried a full size Glock 35 off body and secured it in my office
2) I then moved to a small sized XD and carried in a IWB tuckable holster
3) Then I moved to a much easier to carry .357 Ruger SP101 in a crossdraw IWB tuckable holster and life was great - very comfortable under most situations, esp driving.
4) I also sometimes carried the PT3AT in my pocket instead
You can get an excellent small frame revolver for $300 and a holster used for $25 if you bargain hunt. New all of it for under $500. Given your (and my) dress limitations, a .38 is sufficient for our needs and you can bump to the .357 which is obviously one of the most potent.
