Technically, J.D. means someone who has attained the degree of Juris Doctor, the degree granted at United States law schools.

Esq. is commonly used after a lawyer's name on pleadings, letters, and court documents.

Usually, a lawyer or "esq." also has a J.D., though in some jurisdictions it is possible to sit for the bar examination or be admitted to practice without actually completing such a degree.

Does a juris doctor take the bar exam?

I'm currently in law school and as far as I know, that still varies by state. In California, for example, you need to have your JD to take the bar, but I've heard there are some exeptions to that or some states where you can get your LLM instead of your JD and sit for the bar. However, even if you could take the bar without having a JD I think you would have a hard time finding anyone who would want to hire you to work as an attorney...
