We provide expert analysis of documents in question and, if necessary, testify to our opinions in court. Besides authenticating handwritten text and signatures, we can decipher obliterated or altered text, develop indented writings to determine hidden information, and differentiate inks in questionable entries. As forensic document examiners, our knowledge and skills also encompass printing processes, photocopiers, desktop printers, paper, ink, color spectrometry, and micro-photography. Most commonly we are asked to determine whether or not person A authored a given writing. Recently we are seeing more document alteration cases in which we are asked to determine, when, how, who or what devise could have made the changes to the document.

If you have reason to believe that a document has been altered or a signature has been forged, you will need an expert to give you an opinion if court is in your future. 99% of the cases I handle settle previous to the costly court action.

You will be truly amazed by all that is observable in handwriting. It has been said it is like thought and emotion frozen in time. And, just like a snapshot, it can reveal the innermost characteristics-even perhaps things hidden from normal observation-in anyone's true personality. Occasionally we hear from clients who have initially been disappointed with their own handwriting analysis, only to have them tell us afterwards, when showing the analysis to a spouse, friend, close family member, or a co-worker, that these others have concurred with our report as being quite accurate. We are confident you will gain from the analysis by knowing the qualities, traits, characteristics and other positive (or adverse) dimensions of the writer's personality-whether your own or someone you care about.
