Services

A Forensic Document Examiner can provide you with the following services:

SIGNATURE EXAM

Signatures can hold a very special identity of an individual by being highly individualistic. Signature comparison exams (signature analysis) by your forensic handwriting expert can help in determining whether or not a signature on a questioned document is authentic.

COURT TESTIMONY

Information gathered from the forensic examination of documents can be highly valuable and compiled to form a professional and easily understood expert witness testimony in court from a court-qualified expert.

HANDWRITING EXAM

Handwriting and hand printing comparison examinations are crucial tasks since handwriting can be highly individualistic and is a common means of communication, such exams by your forensic handwriting expert can aid in settling disputes or solving crimes.

SUSCPICIOUS DOCUMENTS

Documents which come under suspicion can be thoroughly examined through specialized services to determine whether evidence is present supporting such suspicions.
