Can a [1] explain a lawyer’s job?  Yes!

[2] have many jobs:  counselors, defenders, advocates and negotiators.  They do, however, have certain ethical responsibilities as well.
The short version

From the North Carolina Bar’s Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 0.1 –  Preamble: A Lawyer’s Responsibilities: 

[1] A lawyer, as a member of the legal profession, is a representative of clients, an officer of the legal system, and a public citizen having special responsibility for the quality of justice.

[2] As a representative of clients, a lawyer performs various functions. As advisor, a lawyer provides a client with an informed understanding of the client’s legal rights and obligations and explains their practical implications.

As advocate, a lawyer zealously asserts the client’s position under the rules of the adversary system.

As negotiator, a lawyer seeks a result advantageous to the client but consistent with requirements of honest dealing with others. As evaluator, a lawyer acts by examining a client’s legal affairs and reporting about them to the client or to others.

Greensboro traffic ticket lawyers must be ethical, and proceed with zeal.

Zeal is defined by Webster Dictionary as “a strong feeling of interest and enthusiasm that makes someone very eager or determined to do something.”  It is not overzealous, as no clients wants their Greensboro traffic attorney to be so overbearing they are punished for their lawyer’s lack of social skills, but it does mean that the passion to fight for the best result is always there!  A Greensboro traffic lawyer will not up!
