A disputed signature can decide a property case, a cheque bounce matter or a family settlement. We compare the questioned writing against admitted and specimen samples, looking at the features a forger rarely controls: pen pressure, line quality, speed, letter formation and the natural variation of the writer.
What we do
- Signature comparison on cheques, agreements, sale deeds, wills and bank documents
- Detection of traced, simulated, disguised and cut-and-paste signatures
- Handwriting identification in anonymous letters and threatening notes
- Examination of the original document wherever possible, with photographic enlargement
- Guidance on collecting proper admitted and specimen samples for comparison
- Expert opinion report with reasons and illustrated comparison charts
When clients come to us
- A cheque has been presented with a signature you did not make
- A will or gift deed surfaces after a death and the family disputes it
- A bank or employer questions whether a signature on file is genuine
- Your advocate needs a private expert opinion before filing or responding
How it works
What you receive
A signed expert opinion report with photographs, marked comparison charts and the reasons behind each conclusion, prepared so it can be filed with the court.
Questions about handwriting & signature verification
Can you examine a photocopy?
A photocopy can be examined for a preliminary view, but some features such as pen pressure and ink flow are lost. For a firm opinion we recommend examining the original or a high-resolution scan.
How many specimen signatures do you need?
Usually 10 to 20 admitted signatures from around the same period as the disputed one, plus specimens written in front of a witness if possible. We will tell you exactly what to collect.
Is my case kept confidential?
Yes. Your identity, the details you share and our findings are kept private and are released only to you or to whomever you direct in writing.
