Oh hell no. Not even when writing letters to other attorneys. I will use their titles (trial attorney, senior counsel, etc.) if they have one under the name in the address block but not esq.

On a separate but related note, I find it annoyingly pretentious when a Ph.D. styles him/herself Dr. And beyond infuriating when a medical doctor introduces him/herself as Dr. Smith but calls me by my first name. What is it with advanced degrees that make people so assholic?
