Doesn't matter. Anyone with a PhD should be addressed as Doctor....(I think!)

Hate to burst the bubble here, but Lawyers do not get a title in socially correct etiquette. It is a professional title only, in a different category from Doctors.

They should be addressed like everyone else: Mr., Mrs., or Ms.

Just because someone gets offended by something doesn't make them right.

Esquire should not be used when addressing wedding invitation envelopes.

My philosophy is that if someone is offended if I forget to put 'Dr' on their invitation, then they are ridiculous.

Like in Austin Powers--'I didn't go to 4 years of evil medical school to be called MISTER Evil'
