I might add that if the attorney DID notarize it, which she shouldn't have, she should have put her "Esq." on it to indicate who she was.
Can't go there with you . . . "Esq." is a ridiculous affectation to which attorneys with little-man syndrome cling. (This includes female attorneys who think they have to act manly to get respect.)
If you are not a shield-bearer and attendant for a knight, you do not sign yourself Esq., because you are not an esquire.
It should go without saying that if you are a woman, you NEVER sign yourself Esq.
As perhaps you can tell, I despise pretentious lawyers; fortunately, the Esq. affectation is more a Northern thing than a Texas thing.
