Dr. is the appropriate title for an M.D. only. Every other jackass these days has a useless Ph.D.

And I've never, ever seen a lawyer referred to as "Dr.". Sometimes the more pretentious ones like to put Esq. after their name, but it just looks sad in my opinion. The only formality that really properly applies to lawyers is that, in the courtroom setting, the proper address is "counselor".
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

You're phrasing is rather ambigous then

I don't see how his phrasing is ambiguous.

I am disinclined to give him the benefit of the doubt when he's seems to be picking an argument
