Original definition: "provider of professional services." The general [ProfessionalService](http://schema.org/ProfessionalService) type for local businesses was deprecated due to confusion with [Service](http://schema.org/Service). For reference, the types that it included were: [Dentist](http://schema.org/Dentist), [AccountingService](http://schema.org/AccountingService), [Attorney](http://schema.org/Attorney), [Notary](http://schema.org/Notary), as well as types for several kinds of [HomeAndConstructionBusiness](http://schema.org/HomeAndConstructionBusiness): [Electrician](http://schema.org/Electrician), [GeneralContractor](http://schema.org/GeneralContractor), [HousePainter](http://schema.org/HousePainter), [Locksmith](http://schema.org/Locksmith), [Plumber](http://schema.org/Plumber), [RoofingContractor](http://schema.org/RoofingContractor). [LegalService](http://schema.org/LegalService) was introduced as a more inclusive supertype of [Attorney](http://schema.org/Attorney).
