Write side of the law
Our job as forensic handwriting specialists and forensic signature experts is to compare handwriting and signatures when there is doubt about the authenticity of key documents.
Forensic handwriting analysis falls within the questioned documents division of forensic science. Forensic handwriting experts and questioned documents examiners scrutinize disputed documents using various forensic examination and analysis methods.
For example, our expert handwriting analysis means we can determine if a questioned signature has been forged.
The cost of forensic handwriting analysis and forensic handwriting expert witness evidence varies, depending on each case. For more information on cost and how long it takes, please see our fees and timeframes page.
