I have never used esq. after my name. I have passed the bar in three states and have been licensed for over 27 years.

No doubt you tried, but it came out esg.

interesting. Even on pleadings/filings? Is that the norm in your area?

In NV, virtually everyone uses Esq. Lots of P.I. attorneys have taken to announcing themselves as "Attorney Jacob Smith," for example.

Not even on pleadings. Not even in Nevada, where I am licensed.

You may not be aware of this, but the Constitution does allow you to avoid self-incriminating testimony.

When our kids were little, I ordered a large dead frog for dissection purposes from a scientific supply company (I really enjoyed Vertebrate Zoology and wanted to teach the kiddies, and they loved it). Anyway, the person taking my order asked me if I were a doctor. After a moment's reflection I responded, "Yes, I am," since she didn't specify what type, and I'd have the title Herr Doktor in Germany. In the years that followed I received lots of junk mail addressed to Dr. [PAC].

I was going to make a joke about German doctors and dissection but, alas, good taste overtook me for a moment or two

Does anyone use the abbreviations when booking travel or other things and there is an option? I have used Rev. and Hon. before and never been questioned. I've hesitated to use Dr. what if someone has a medical condition on the plane or something? Then I have to say I'm a doctor of philosophy or something and everyone would mock me.
