What is the proper way to formally address a lawyer in writing?

5 ⤊

Is it John Q. Smith, esq? or Esq? Or something else?

Thanks for any help!

On the envelope and Inside Address: John Q. Smith, Esq.

On the salutation:

Dear Mr. Smith:

Go by what's on their biz card - but I've used John Q. Smith, Esq. before, and it seemed to work, as the case went my way.
