Comprehensive Forensic Document Services
We apply scientific principles to all types of questioned documents to provide objective, evidence-based answers for legal, corporate, and private matters.
Signature & Handwriting Authentication
At the core of our work is determining the authorship and authenticity of signatures and handwriting. We analyze documents for signs of forgery, tracing, or simulation.
- Comparison of questioned signatures to known genuine examples.
- Detection of unnatural pen lifts, hesitation, and patching.
- Analysis of handwriting style, slant, pressure, and individual characteristics.
Alteration, Obliteration & Erasure Detection
Documents can be changed to alter their meaning. We use advanced techniques to uncover evidence of tampering that is invisible to the naked eye.
- Infrared and ultraviolet examination to reveal obscured information.
- Microscopic analysis of paper fibers and ink distribution.
- Identification of added or removed text, dates, or figures.
Ink, Paper & Document Analysis
The physical components of a document tell a story. We analyze the materials to determine a document's origin, age, and potential for manipulation.
- Non-destructive ink dating and comparison.
- Paper analysis for watermarks, composition, and physical match.
- Examination of printing processes (laser, inkjet, offset) and typewriting.
Expert Witness & Litigation Support
Our findings are presented in clear, concise, court-ready reports. We provide expert testimony to explain complex evidence in an understandable way.
- Preparation of detailed written reports with demonstrative exhibits.
- Deposition and trial testimony in state and federal courts.
- Consultation on case strategy and cross-examination of opposing experts.
