Hawkeye Studios, Grapho-Lab® services: providing expert examination and analysis of handwriting and signatures, for determination of identity, authenticity, forgery, fraud, alteration or for behavioral profiles from any documents bearing handwriting or hand printing. The examiner, Kenneth J. Davies, has been court-qualified in numerous cases to provide forensic expert witness testimony.

1. Questioned
Documents
[ contact info [ forensic handwriting examination ] [ fee base $ 90.00 CAD or USD per hr. ] Whether it is a signature on a check, a handwritten codicil to a will, an anonymous letter, or other document in which the authorship of the handwriting or signature is questioned or contested (forgery), the handwriting may be analyzed and compared to a known sample (exemplar) to make a determination as to authorship or authenticity. Paper and ink are both three-dimensional media. Any attempts at alteration of documents, handwriting or signatures, though carefully disguised, must physically disrupt the paper, the original ink, as well as the relationship of ink to paper. Such alteration may be detected through microscopic examination in conjunction with task-specific lighting, analysis and imaging techniques. Haas Atlas font matching may also be applied in identification and authentication of documents. Our proven Three-Stage Grapho-Lab® Examinations comprise:
The physical integrity, chain of custody, security and confidentiality of all submitted documents is conscientiously preserved while in our care. In cases where documents cannot be released directly to our custody, our "on-location" examination capabilities may be of service. Expert Testimony: Handwriting examiner Kenneth J. Davies may provide court-qualified expert testimony in support of his examinations. Where location is time/cost prohibitive, video deposition is an available option.
The most definitive results may derive from an examination of original documents. However, when some or all of the documents must be submitted as facsimiles (copies), please submit the optimal (best available) and earliest-generation (oldest) copies that you can obtain. An Examination for Determination of Authorship requires that we receive, along with the questioned document, some documents for comparison (exemplars) which contain writing or signatures that are known to be genuine. We can advise you as to the type, the number, and the form of exemplars that should be provided. An Examination for Determination of Alteration has varying requirements, depending upon the nature of the questioned documents. Please consult us regarding document submission requirements in each particular case.
A verbal report, or a letter of preliminary results, or a formal report with referenced exhibits, as appropriate to your requirements, may be issued following an examination. When required for court filing and preparation for expert testimony, our formal report will include a Summary Statement of Results, a Statement of the Examiner's Qualifications, and a notarized Statutory Declaration or Affidavit.
Turnaround time for a completed report varies, depending upon our extant case commitments and the specific requirements of any particular analysis. In any case, however, we will quote a working time frame for completion of the analysis and delivery of our report.
Prior to undertaking an examination, we will quote a flat fee based on the estimated requirements of the examination, the report preparation and report inclusions, at $ 90.00 per hour. Court time, if required, will be quoted at the same hourly rate, plus any necessary travel expenses. The quoted fee must be paid prior to beginning an examination, to avoid any appearance of monetary influence on the outcome, which is, and must be seen to be, an unbiased forensic analysis of the submitted documents. ( All non-Canadian clients will be
quoted in USD )

2. Trait
/ Aptitude Profiling
[ occupational / clinical / investigative ] [ fee base: $ 90.00 per hr. ] An individual's handwriting is, in effect, a graphic representation of the patterns of that person's mind, as it pertains to traits, aptitudes, emotions and characteristic response to people, environment or circumstance. Grapho-Analysis is one of the more specific of the behavioral, trait, and aptitude assessment tools that may be utilized for occupational, clinical or investigative application. In occupational application, individuals and their companies both benefit from an assessment of individual strengths and aptitudes. In clinical application, our assessments are available to support the work of psychologists and other such qualified counselors. In investigative application, such profiles can contribute substantively to an investigation, and may also be used consultatively in jury selection. Profile Analyses are available as follows:
The most detailed assessments are obtained from original samples; however, useful profiles can also be obtained from facsimiles (copies). In either case, please provide your 'optimal' (best available) samples. Please consult us for guidelines if obtaining 'ideal' (best possible) samples. If known, please include the following information about the writer of a sample: age, gender, left / right-handed, physical / sight impairments. Our quoted fee is required in full to begin the analysis. ( All non-Canadian clients will be quoted
in USD )
