The title “Esq.” or “Esquire” can be added after an attorney’s name to recognize their accomplishments and professional status. It is often seen as an indication that the lawyer has been admitted to the Bar of at least one state, meaning that they have completed the necessary educational requirements and a set of examinations to practice the legal profession.
Additionally, Esquire implies a higher level of legal competence than those without this term since it generally means a longer period of experience and dedication to their profession.
