Ph.D.
I work for a law firm as a paralegal. I have a Ph.D. and use my specialty to help the firm. When signing letters, I have always placed my degree after my last name. Recently one lawyer told me I could not because it was not lawful to do so! Is this true? Where or what is the rule for this? Help!

I doubt very seriously that it is unlawful.
If the attorney for whom you are working doesn't have the equivalent of a PhD, (s)he may not want your degree mentioned, if you are "just" a paralegal, especially if your degree is in an unrelated field.
At any rate, do what your employer suggests.
