Attorneys.

Change the 'y' to 'i' if a noun ends in 'y'. But this rule doesn't apply here. The reason is the letter preceding the final consonant is a vowel. So this rule apples only when another consonant precedes the final consonant. 

For example; 
Buddy ==> buddies


Hello! Is "attornies" or "attorneys" the right plural form of attorney?

What is the correct plural form of "attorney"?

The correct plural form of attorney is attorneys. 

The plural form is attorneys and this is because the letter before the final consonant (y) is a vowel(e). It would be attornies if the word before the final consonant was another consonant e.g "mommy" changes to "mommies".

The plural form is ATTORNEYS. The Y does NOT change to IE because the letter before the Y is a VOWEL (an E).
Another similar example is VALLEY - VALLEYS.

In Britain and Australia they are called solicitors not attorneys! 

Attorneys because over here a vowal is there before the ending word y, beso the ies rule will not apply
