Questioned Document Examination Services

Meyer Questioned Document Examination provides independent forensic examination of handwriting, signatures, and documents for matters involving disputed authorship, authenticity, alteration, and other questioned-document issues.

Services are available to attorneys, businesses, organizations, and private clients. Each examination is approached objectively, with conclusions based on the evidence presented for examination.

Examination Services

Handwriting, Signature & Document Examination

The appropriate examination depends on the document, the questioned issue, and the comparison material available. Services may involve handwriting comparison, signature authentication, or examination of the physical features of a document.

Signature Authentication

Comparison of a questioned signature with known genuine signatures to evaluate whether the questioned signature was written by the person whose name it bears.

Wills, contracts, deeds, checks, loan documents, authorizations, and other signed records.

Handwriting Identification

Comparison of questioned handwriting with known writing samples to evaluate whether the same writer produced both bodies of writing.

Letters, notes, forms, records, entries, and other handwritten material.

Anonymous & Disguised Writing

Examination of anonymous or intentionally altered handwriting to determine whether significant writing habits remain that permit comparison with known writers.

Anonymous letters, threatening notes, workplace writings, and intentionally disguised handwriting.

Document Alteration

Examination for evidence that information on a document has been added, removed, substituted, erased, overwritten, or otherwise altered.

Changes to dates, amounts, names, entries, signatures, or other document information.

Obliterated Writing

Examination of writing or printed information that has been intentionally covered, obscured, or otherwise made difficult to read.

Crossed-out entries, covered writing, overwritten text, and obscured document information.

Indented Writing

Examination for impressions left on paper by writing performed on a sheet that was previously positioned above it.

Writing impressions may reveal information no longer visible on the original writing surface.
