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.

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
