For a lawyer, is it okay to abbreviate Esquire to Esq. on correspondence?
Re: Debate on Facebook
In what context? The person being written to or the person doing the writing? A client to an attorney? An attorney to another?
I have seen it done in all of the above and none of the attorneys ever said anything about it and some of them had times when they were pety.
It was just a discussion in general.
Friend who works in a law office said her biggest pet peeve is when people send mail addressed to her boss ESQ. She said it is rude, lazy and unprofessional and the title is ESQUIRE.
My arguement was who cares... M.D.'s and CPA's shouldn't have to write out "Medical Doctor" or "Certified Public Accountant" and attorneys don't need to either.
Interesting.. none of the attorneys I worked for cared either way.
But.. I'd be interested in knowing how it is on letterhead. Some will put Jane Smith, Esq. Or Smth & Smith, Esqs.
In that case, those people would be following by example.
