The sentences where commas are used correctly are:

  1. The attorney, offering good advice, is my neighbor.
  2. My neighbor, a practicing attorney, gave me some good advice.

The other sentences contain errors in their comma usage:

  • If you want good advice, my neighbor, is an attorney. – The comma before "is" is incorrect.
  • The attorney, gave me good advice. – The comma after "attorney" is unnecessary.

So, the first two sentences are the ones with correct comma usage.
