United Kingdom
The use of Esquire (as Esq.) became pervasive in the United Kingdom in the late 20th century, for example being applied by banks to all men who did not have a grander title. However, strictly the title only belongs to:

The eldest sons of knights and their eldest sons in perpetual succession
The eldest sons of younger sons of peers and their eldest sons in perpetual succession
Those who bear special office in the Royal Household
Sheriffs while in office.
Justices of the Peace while in commission
Commissioners of the Court of Bankruptcy
Masters of the Supreme Court
Deputy Lieutenants and Commissioners of Lieutenancy
Queen\'s Counsel
Sergeants-at-law
Royal Academicians
Officers of the Royal Navy with rank of Lieutenant or higher, of the Army with rank of Captain or higher, or of the Royal Air Force with rank of Flight Lieutenant or higher
Bachelors of Divinity, Law, or Physic, and others (note that these are all traditionally post-graduate degrees, not first degrees).
Persons to whom the title is granted by the Monarch

United States
In the United States, the title is commonly given in courtesy to lawyers and Justices of the Peace, and is often used in the superscription of letters instead of Mr. or Ms., for example \"William Clinton, Esq.\".

Historically in the UK, barristers-at-law used this title, while solicitors used the term \"gentleman\". In the U.S., where the roles of counsel and attorney were combined, the term \"esquire\" was adopted. There is some largely academic controversy over title of \"esquire\" and how it relates to the missing thirteenth amendment of the United States Constitution.
