[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never use "Esquire" with my own name. It's not uncommon for attorneys to use it when addressing (especially formal) letters to another attorney, and my law school always uses it on fundraising letters. Sometimes attorneys with solo practices use it, kind of like a business name. IME (federal practice) attorneys don't use it when signing documents to be filed with the court. Otherwise, it's a little pretentious. I would totally judge someone who used it outside of the legal context, like that SAHM who uses it with the PTA. That sounds like someone's a little anxious and defensive about being a SAHM.[/quote] This, exactly. Signed, PP, Esq.[/quote]
