I've always thought Esquires should also wear hats like this.

Some real estate/property management and life insurance folks will put a bunch of initials after their name for various licenses or certificates they hold, but no one except people in their field have a clue what the crap stands for.

an attorney in baton rouge, I think named Robinson, apparently sued the Bar Association to allow himself to be designated “dr/atty Robinson”. sure, he had a juris doctorate, but it was for marketing to his clientele. i think he also had a gold Rolls Royce. quite a flamboyant fellow.

I would never use the term "esquire". My clients and colleagues call me by my first name. Frankly, there's nothing terribly special about having a law degree these days. Hell...virtually everybody has one, and I've been less than impressed with several that have them. So...I've never really understood the "self-importance" that some seem to feel after graduating from law school. Calling yourself "esquire"...or an astute gentleman...doesn't make you one imo.

I do the JD, LLM for books/articles.
I've always hated esquire and it seems a lot of older/solo attorneys use it

When was this? I can’t think of who it might be, though I appreciate that I’m still working on my first cup of coffee this morning

Esq. means you passed the Bar.
JD means you went to law school and graduated.
Some people use that in their titles and others do not.
That simple.

Are they over 60?
If you are old, is was same as Doctor designation over Mr / Mrs / Miss

Same reason why some people feel the need to have everyone call them doctor in their personal life (I find it more common amongst the PhD crowd). Or boat Captain's always introduce themselves as Captain.
Some old school ladies? and gentlemen do the esquire thing; and good for them. The showy arrogant ones that do the above and Esq. are seen as such.

The Ph.D. thing about the Esquire title is not as prevalent as you thing. In the hospital or court room I'm Dr. In the university setting I'm Professor. In my personal life I go by my first name.
FYI, M.D.s, DDS, and JD are professional degrees. The Ph.D. is a terminal degree. Nothing wrong with any of them.

My insurance company covered the basically small, fake arse claim.
