Dr


Explanation:
But I would just say: Dr since there is no literal translation. Here is probably means engineer.

Licenciado in Ecuador means just someone that has a proffesion...

Within the curriculum vitae it may say what tyoe of a Licenciado he is. What this says is just in the majority of cases that he holds am undergraduate degree.

LL.B. is Licenciado en Derecho, Licenciado en Ciencias Juridicas o Abogado.

If the person however, studied laws as an undergraduate major IN A US COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY, use Bachelor in Arts, Major in Laws.

Licenciado* + NOTE


Explanation:
It's not so much the translation but how to handle it. Here's how:

1.- WITH NOTE

*T.N. - (Lic.) (Licenciado) = Academic title used by lawyers and persons with bachelor level college degrees in many subjects.

2.- OR: If from the context there is no question that the person is an attorney, then use "Attorney" or "Atty."; for instance if the person is a judge, notary, prosecutor, head of a legal department, etc.

If unclear, then use the above note. If other than an attorney and the person's degree is known, then use appropriate degree (for example, "Bachelor of Economics", etc.
