Your answer does not have to include a dramatic conflict you had with past co-workers. It may have been a small issue or even a misunderstanding. Simply focus your answer on what you learned from the experience.

"I understand that the attorneys I work with have the training, license, and experience. The times that I have disagreed with an attorney have been more around communication style. For example, a client was calling often and not feeling they were keeping updated enough with the case. While I tried to assist the client, the attorney really needed to provide more insight into the case. I provided more context to the attorney to provide insight into why that client needed more attention at that time. It helped the attorney to see a different perspective and they adjusted their communication accordingly."
