The majority of Artists, Actors, etc. use both an Attorney and Manager to help them accomplish their goals and to make sure that their business is in order.
Now, it has been said that Chris Tucker has always done his Movie Deals and handled all his business matters with his Attorney only. He does not have a manager or management company.
Some Attorneys have turned into Managers, but of course with that kind of training, an Attorney can handle both positions.
Some managers have been reviewing contracts for so long that they can review contracts and make changes. I personally believe that you should still consult with an Attorney.

My personal opinion is that you should have two separate people. If not, then there would be a conflict of interest should an issue arise between you and the attorney. But if you had a separate attorney, then you could sue the manager if the manager breached your agreement.
In related news, I think you should also have a separate attorney from your manager, meaning you and your manager should not use the same attorney. Again, because of conflict of interest problems should a problem occur. Plus, just naturally there is an inherent conflict of interest because you and your manager typically have differing interests on how much he or she gets paid, etc. So keep everybody separate and you avoid those conflicts of interests.
That's my two cents.
