HANDWRITING ANALYSIS 

HANDWRITING COMPARISONS AND HANDWRITING IDENTIFICATION 
When the authorship of a document is disputed, the Handwriting Expert will perform a scientific comparison of the disputed document against a handwriting specimen of known authorship. Both similarities and differences will be identified and an expert opinion provided on the authenticity of the document. Questioned document cases may include signatures on Wills, handwritten anonymous letters, figures and handwriting on cheques, Agreements and Contracts. Despite dependence on computers for communication, the complexities of handwriting and signatures will always exist in varying degrees on every type of document. Every questioned handwriting case is unique and each individual instruction is reviewed objectively in an effort to reach a satisfactory conclusion. 
 
SIGNATURE ANALYSIS 
Signatures will frequently differ from a person’s handwriting, displaying an individual style and manner of execution. A scientific comparison of a disputed signature against a verifiable specimen can provide important evidence of authorship. The legibility of a signature is not as significant as the author’s repeated consistency.
