Are you questioning the authenticity of a signature on a will or other document?
Has someone altered a signature, number, etc., on a contract, medical record, timesheet, deed, loan, or another typed document?
Did someone forge your signature on a check or alter the date or amount?
If you are a victim of a forgery or altered document I can help. My expertise in the field of document examination will enable me to determine if a signature or handwriting is authentic or a forgery.
Whether you need the information I provide to share with your attorney, or you just want to know the truth for yourself, I can help provide peace of mind by determining if the questioned signature/document, in my opinion, is a forgery.
Most cases only need the notarized letter of opinion, (the verbal opinion is required before a letter of opinion can be prepared) and you may never need to appear in court. Many times, having this information allows attorneys to settle out of court or the opposing side may drop the case completely.
In the event your case goes to court, I am available to offer deposition and/or appear in court and provide testimony with my professional opinion and supporting details about the questioned signature/document. (There are additional fees for depositions, travel expenses, and court appearances.) See pricing below.
My experience includes the examination of signatures, handwriting, and various documents for cases in numerous states across the United States. My professional opinion of the questioned signature/document, etc. will assist you or your attorney with valuable information.
I have earned a bachelor's degree and two masters' degrees. My training includes handwriting identification, handwriting discrimination, distinguishing forged signatures, determining disguised handwriting, and analyzing altered numbers. I have apprenticed and worked on a part time basis for over 19 years, but I am now working full time as a forensic document examiner.
1. Scan and email me copies of the "questioned" document(s) OR “questioned" signature(s). (These are the ones you think may be forged.) I don't need the entire document, but please include the first page or title page and the page with the questioned signature(s).
2. Also, scan and email me the documents with the "known" handwriting or "known" signatures. I need approximately 10-20 samples of the "known" signatures.
3. DO NOT write on the documents you are sending me.
4. In your email attachments, please clarify which documents are "questioned" and which are "known". This is VERY important.
5. Scan and email your documents to:
6. Please include the name or company name you used to make your payment and your address.
Please know that no opinion or letter will be offered until all funds are received.
Payment options are listed below. You can pay with a PayPal account or sign in as a guest and use any major credit card.
Your first phone consultation is free!
Feel free to contact me 24/7 via text or telephone at: 713.859.6882. If I am unable to answer, please leave me a message and I will be in touch with you as soon as possible.
Many clients ask if the Notarized Letter of Opinion will be accepted in court. Each judge determines what he or she will accept in their court. Some of my clients say the letter was accepted by the judge, and other judges want me to appear in person or via Zoom. Many times, once you present the Notarized Letter of Opinion to the opposing side, they either drop the case or settle out of court. Please consult your attorney for more information.
