Yes. You never use Esquire when referring to yourself.

I've never met a cool, good, or well-educated lawyer who attached Esq. to himself or herself.
On a separate note, black attorneys in the South always seem to call other attorneys "Attorney ______" and occasionally refer to themselves as that. Not sure why I thought of it, but it always struck me as kind of funny because I'm not sure where it comes from.

The biggest tool bags in State Government attach Esq to their names. I like it because it helps me identify the idiots.

What's a worthless cert.

The only time I've seen people use Esq. where it didn't seem dumb is for attorneys who are doing favors for people outside of a firm, but they wanted to relay that they're attorneys.
Like writing a letter to some company hassling your grandma on your own time. I doubt I'd do it, but I've seen other people do it and I understand what they're trying to do.

AIA, LEED AP, NCARB, STFUDB
Every time they take a continuing ed. class, they get 4 more letters to put behind their names.

Anything easy to get that doesn't really garner additional money or respect in your craft.

They're awesome as frick. I would do it and demand that people call me that to my face.
