What is an Esquire?

 

The magazine you hold in front of your Playboy.

 

okay......

 

Yes but interesting in some states this is only allowed if they are admitted to the Bar.

In Arizona it can be an unauthorized practice of law :

Arizona Supreme Court Rule 31(a)2B states:

Unauthorized practice of law includes but is not limited to:

• Engaging in the practice of law by persons or entities not authorized to practice pursuant to to paragraphs (b) or (c) or specifically admitted to practice pursuant to Rule 33(d); or

• Using the designations "lawyer," "attorney at law," counselor at law," "law," "law office," "J.D.," "Esq.," or other equivalent words by any person or entity not authorized to practice pursuant to to paragraphs (b) or (c) or specifically admitted to practice pursuant to Rule 33(d), the use of which is reasonably likely to induce others to believe that the person or entity is authorized to engage in the practice of law in this state.
