What examinations do I conduct?
Typical document examinations include handwriting and signatures, determining printing processes and fonts, and identifying security features. Analyzing copies are the norm as many original documents are destroyed or unavailable. Let’s discuss your case and what will be needed.
Most requested examinations
Handwriting & Signatures
Determining if a signature or handwriting is authentic is what I do. Through careful analysis, comparison of features, and evaluating uniqueness, the basis and reasoning behind every opinion is detailed in each report.

Computer & Fonts
Evidence of manipulations, alterations, and inconsistent fonts, for examples, are thoroughly reviewed and evaluated. An exhaustive examination using industry standards is conducted for each and every case.

Determining printing processes and security features on identity documents are analyzed using a digital microscope for reviewing fine details. Examples of these types of documents include: passports, security and identity documents, and share certificates.
