You claim to be a lawyer by calling yourself "Todd Daugherty, Esquire"
Now I know you do this a "coping" mechanism to make yourself feel more important and competent. I know because you do this, that you are mentally ill among other things. We all know you are shit. Truth is, you were labeled as retarded by teachers, your parents, and the principal in grade school or you wouldn't have been eligible for SWEP.
AI answers this... (notice I credit AI, you don't)
Yes, in the United States, adding "Esquire" (or "Esq.") after a name is a professional title that indicates an individual is a licensed, practicing attorney.In Illinois, and nationwide, this means the person has graduated from law school, passed the state bar exam, and met the character requirements to practice law.If you suspect someone is misrepresenting their legal credentials, I can help you find out if they are officially licensed. Would you like me to show you how to search the Illinois ARDC (Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission) database?
In the United States, yes, using the abbreviation "Esq." or the word "Esquire" generally means a person is a licensed, practicing attorney.Here is what it specifically indicates:Licensed to practice: The person has graduated from law school, passed a state bar exam, and is in good standing with their state Bar Association.Placement: It is used as a suffix after the person's full name (e.g., John Doe, Esq.) and is never placed before a name.Professional use: Attorneys use it on business cards, letterheads, and formal correspondence, though it is rarely spoken aloud in conversation.Using the title ethically requires holding an active bar license. Anyone misrepresenting themselves by using the term when they are not an attorney could face legal consequences for practicing law without a license

The Historical Meaning of Esquire
For most of European history, Esquire was not a legal credential. It was a hereditary social rank within the noble hierarchy of England, France, Scotland, and Ireland. The term derives from the Old French escuier and Latin scutarius, meaning shield‑bearer — a man who served a knight and was himself of noble birth.
From the 12th through the 17th centuries, Esquire denoted:
A member of the landed gentry
A man eligible for knighthood
A nobleman ranking below a knight and above a gentleman
A hereditary title passed through noble families
A social class recognized in heraldic visitations and peerage rolls
Esquires were part of the feudal aristocracy, often holding land, serving in royal households, or acting as officers of the crown. The title appears consistently in:
English Heralds’ Visitations
Feudal muster rolls
Medieval charters
Peerage records
Royal administrative documents
In short, Esquire was a noble rank, not a professional designation.
How Lawyers Adopted the Title
In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, American attorneys began using Esquire as a stylistic flourish, borrowing the prestige of British nobility. This usage was never formally granted by any monarchy or heraldic authority. It was simply adopted by custom within the legal profession.
Thus, the modern American legal meaning is a recent appropriation, not the original definition.
Conclusion
Historically, Esquire belongs to the noble class, not the legal profession. Its modern American usage is a reinterpretation — not the foundation of the term.
It is cultural appropriation — plain and simple

Just like everything you call yourself, you have to invent it in your head and steal titles that you didn't earn.
Funny how your brother earned the title of teacher and your sister earned the title of nurse, your father earned the title of electrician, and the late K4YZ earned the title pilot, marine, and nurse.
Meanwhile you have earned nothing and apparently didn't even graduate from high school as your photo does not appear in the graduation class even though you were in retarded education in SWEP.
Retarded people like you, Kathy and Jimmy have to invent things to cover up for their retardation.
You just validated every point I make about you. Pretend all you want little girl, we know...... now go play. A real N9OGL forum is coming soon that is going to be run properly.
Edit: And then you are so retarded you had to use AI to define what Esquire is... Of course, without giving credit to AI like I so when I use it.
