What do I need for an expert opinion

In the case of a forged signature or handwriting:

• The original document in dispute.

• If the court cannot obtain it, I can examine it at the court or analyze it using copies of handwriting comparisons.

For the handwriting comparisons, I need:

• 7-15 signatures for comparison

• At least two texts from letters, postcards, forms, or applications from insurance companies, banks, etc.

For UV, IR, and microscopic examinations, I need:

• Originals

• Copies are sufficient for handwriting comparisons.

Important:

An expert opinion or handwriting analysis using copies is always to the client's disadvantage. I must mention this fact:

"Originals could not be provided to me. I need the originals to further elaborate and supplement the expert opinion."
