In contracts, I put Esq. after the contact attorney for my firm if the person on the other side has put Esq. after their name in the notices section. And I might just leave it in if it's already in the form document. And the contact person is never me, so I don't particularly care. I guess I've just missed out on the mock-the-Esquire-signers bandwagon. Maybe my non-litigation background has let me down here.
I would never even think to indicate that I am a lawyer on any personal stuff (like checks). I typicaly hide the ball with strangers on the lawyer thing anyway because I am sick to fucking death of all the lawyers suck replies that I get upon answering the "what do you do?" question. Typically from people who have no earthly idea of what I do or that they are more likely to be hit by lightning than they are to run into me at the courthouse.

I typically answer the "what do you do" question by saying "I'm a facilitator. I'm one of the 99% of lawyers who don't chase ambulances."

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.
