Forensic Document Examination/Handwriting Identification - A Forensic Document Examiner is someone who scientifically examines a document to gather facts that will establish the true nature of its history and origin. We are concerned with the examination of all physical features of documents, making critical analyses and comparisons of documents to establish genuineness or exposed alleged forgery. Typical cases accepted include questioned signatures, anonymous writing, and graffiti. Handwriting identification is a comparison analysis of the questioned writing with known handwriting samples. When you retain Handwriting Forensics, you can be assured that standard, accepted handwriting identification methodologies are followed.
Litigation Support - Having been qualified as an expert in all Courts by each Judge that I have been before, my experience in testifying as a Handwriting Identification Expert goes back 17 years. In house photography is provided so photographic enlargements can be presented in the Courtroom to show how conclusions are reached. I take into account the fact that most jury members are not eager to be in Court anyway. Exhibits are presented in a clear, concise form. The jury will decide the case based on how the expert presents the information; therefore, it is of utmost importance to effectively communicate with the jury. Maintaining the jury's attention through effective communication skills and convincing, easy to understand exhibits, is a part of my proven track record in the Courtroom.
Investigations - Services include criminal and civil investigations, witness locating and interviewing, and data base searches. Cases investigated include murder, rape, arson and loss prevention.
Lectures/Training - Training classes in handwriting identification are available and can be prepared for your specific needs.
