Notes on Documents Submisson:  

While our uncompromising goal is to serve the truth and always maintain strictest objectivity in our forensic examinations, we are here to offer you our guidance with respect to documents in order to obtain the most definitive analytic results.

In the case of comparative examination of handwriting or signatures, we require the questioned document(s) and sufficient comparative documents
, whether they are original (ideal), or good clarity photocopies, or a combination of both.  We can help you determine the number of documents that may be most useful to the analysis.

Dates on documents are also an important consideration when prioritizing which documents may be of most relevance to a comparative examination, and there are several factors that may govern that decision. Generally, however, documents dated closest to the known or to the 'stated' date of the questioned document(s) should be given the higher priority.

Finally, do not mark up submitted documents, whether originals or photocopies !
 

Please inquire  by email or phone for guidance if you are unsure about what to submit or how best to submit your documents or other items for examination.  You may save time and money, and do the most to aid the examination, by getting your submission right the first time.
