Grammar

Hopefully easy question on capitalization

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

I am an attorney working for the government. The duties of my job position mostly involve considering legal requests called "petitions." My job title is "Petitions Attorney." I am unclear as to when the first letters in "Petitions Attorney" should be capitalized.

Are the following correct or incorrect?

I am a Petitions Attorney.

My coworkers include 10 other petitions attorneys.

Petitions Attorneys are a type of attorney working for the federal government.

Petitions Attorney John Smith has worked for the government for 10 years.

Five petitions attorneys were transferred from location X to location Y.

I look forward to learning the correct way to capitalize the words in the sentences above.
