Estate Litigation
Summary
A contested will featured a questionable signature from the deceased. The family suspected undue influence from a caretaker.
Analysis
Our team conducted a comprehensive analysis, comparing the questioned signature against dozens of known, authentic signatures. We utilized microscopy to identify unnatural pen lifts and hesitations inconsistent with the author's natural writing.
Outcome
We provided a court-ready report and expert testimony demonstrating that the signature was a forgery. The court ruled in favor of our client, and the estate was distributed according to the original, valid will.
Corporate & Criminal
Summary
A corporate executive received an anonymous, handwritten note containing threats. The client needed to identify the author from a pool of internal suspects.
Analysis
We examined the note for unique handwriting characteristics, including letter formations, spacing, and slant. By comparing these features to writing samples from potential suspects, we found a conclusive match.
Outcome
Our findings were delivered to corporate security and law enforcement, leading to the identification of the individual responsible and preventing further escalation.
Civil Litigation
Summary
A dispute arose over a real estate contract where one party claimed a key date had been altered after signing.
Analysis
Using non-destructive ink analysis techniques, we determined that two different pens were used on the document. Further examination revealed microscopic disturbances in the paper fibers around the date in question, indicative of an alteration.
Outcome
The evidence of the alteration was irrefutable. The opposing party settled the case, and our client was able to exit the fraudulent contract without financial loss.
