It means "Esquire". In the olden days, esquires were supposed to be the helpers of Knights. Later, the usage of this word changed and men (only), when writing letters signed off with this word after their names and nowadays a lot of attorneys, male or female write it while signing off.

As others have said, Esq = Esquire.
It means the person is an attorney.

Esq. indicates that the person is a member of the bar association, but has no legal meaning. Originally, it denoted someone who was above a mere gentleman in social status.

Esquire. A lot of attorneys add it to their names in the US as an affectation. It means something unique in the UK, but here, it's just a way to make sure that everyone knows that you're a lawyer. 8)
