    Holding to the old description of it, it is a shield bearer, meaning they have been knighted. Atty at law is just a lawyer practicing law. Hope this helps.

      Esquire just means practicing attorney. Attorney at law is the same thing. It just means a licensed attorney who is legally qualified to defend and prosecute. Counselor at law is also the same thing. It all means lawyer.
