Juris Doctor degree is technically a professional doctorate. But unlike other Ph. D. holders, lawyers don't hold the title of "Doctor." Instead, they can choose to use the title "esquire," which is shortened to "Esq." and is fashioned after the lawyer's name.
While the JD is a doctoral degree in the US, lawyers usually use the suffix "Esq." as opposed to the prefix "Dr.",

Honestly, what point are you trying to make? You're not making any sense. I understand what Esquire means and how it has been used. Again, so what?

I have been a practicing attorney for almost 50 years and have never found the need to use either "Doctor" or "Esquire". One would have to be a pompous to do so. Now, I am proud of the J.D. earned at LSU back before the law school got kinder and not so afraid to flunk out those who did not perform, but I have no need for a title.
