Margaret Webb cde, MBIG (Dip) is a fully trained and certified document examiner and a graduate of the Training Course in Questioned Handwriting and Document Examination by Reed Hayes cde. The MBIG (Graphology Diploma) is a world recognized graduate graphology qualification and this was gained in 1992. Law & Procedure training in London was undertaken in 2006/2007 (CUBS), to include modules in Excellence in Report Writing, Courtroom Sills, basic Law & Procedure and familiarity with the Civil Procedure Rules.
'Although originally qualified as a graphologist, I have undertaken further studies that qualify me to deal with questioned documents. With 17 years overall experience as a handwriting expert and questioned document examiner, I have studied in detail the following topics: history of handwriting, children's handwriting, handwriting measurements, complex handwriting form and features, health, illness and deterioration in handwriting, evaluation of printing and numerals, handwriting variables, comparison standards, examination of signature and initials, anonymous writing, graffiti and disguised writing, writing instruments, altered documents, the examination of non-original documents, degrees of opinion, how to appear as a witness and the business of document examination.'
Specialist services are in rendering professional reports on document and signature authentication for major corporations, government departments including local councils, legal authorities, solicitors, CPS (United Kingdom Government Crown Prosecution Service), Crown Court Trials, HM Prison Service, schools and colleges, insurance companies and loss adjustors. The variety of documents include poison pen letters, fraudulent signatures on all legal documents including Notarised Statements for overseas' signature authentication, including China. Court expertise as an expert witness has been provided in the UK. Most recent instructions include signature and handwriting comparison reports for solicitors in Fleet Street, London, Housing Association West Midlands, Council in Tyne & Wear, SBS World Service based in London.
Despite dependence on computers for communication the complexities of handwriting and signatures will always exist in varying degrees. Every questioned handwriting case is unique and each individual instruction is reviewed logically and objectively in an effort to reach a satisfactory conclusion. All cases are treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality.
Original documents, if possible, should be submitted for examination because
details such as writing pressure and indentations on an original are lost
on a copy, erasures may not be clear on copies. Dots and dust specks may be
added. The colour of the ink is not visible and the condition of original
documents cannot be determined from assessing photocopies.
