When punctuating "Esq." after an attorney's name, it is typically placed directly after the name with a period, as in "John Smith, Esq." There is no comma between the name and "Esq." unless the name appears in a list or sentence where additional punctuation is required. For example, in a sentence you might write, "I consulted with John Smith, Esq., about my case."

J.D. (Juris Doctor) or Ll.B. (Bachelor of Laws).
There are a number of ways lawyers may identify themselves. In the United States, some attorneys put Esq. (Esquire) after their names, while others prefer J.D. (Juris Doctor). In Great Britain, Esq. indicates a Barrister as opposed to a Solicitor.
To write Esq with the last name first and middle initial, it would be formatted as follows: "Last Name, First Name Middle Initial, Esq." For example, "Doe, John A., Esq."
Some lawyers will have a "J.D." "LL.M." or an "Esq." after their name. "J.D." stands for Juris Doctor, which is the degree received upon graduation from law school. "LL.M." stands for Master of Laws. "Esq." stands for Esquire, which has long been used as a social status right above Gentleman and below the Peerages.
You just write it after the name in all lower case letters: John Smith esq.
The letters "Esq" (which stand for "Esquire") have become an archaic way of referring to members of the legal profession. However, it does not signify an awarded degree nor a title (i.e.: doctor) and I do not believe that there is any prohibition against its use elsewhere..
