Es un término de origen francés.cuyo significado es aplicable a distintas situaciones.
Es aquel que gobierna, que dirige, que enseña, que posee un talento reconocido. Título otorgado a los artesanos , a los abogado y a los notarios. También se refiere a los magistrados. En arquitectura se le dice al maestro de obra.

It wouldn't be "magistrado", that's reserved for the judge. The translation of Maitre is "maestro, but it not applicable here.

Again, this not English, but French. Dr would be fine if this is the degree actually obtained by the attorney in question, but it could also be Lic., letrado, or just Sr.

Thank you, Claude, but - at least in Latin America - the title "Dr." is largely used before the names of physicians and lawyers (and judges) even when these professionals have no academical doctorate (Ph.D., etc.)

Yes, Claude, Lic. (Licenciado) is used in some countries. The translation must be directed to the target country.
