It's Personal
So, you aren't involved in a lawsuit...
you just need to know the truth.

This page is designed to give you some insight into what to expect and what "package" you need to order to get your case started.

If you are not going use the results of the "document examination" in a court of law or arbitration, then you can simply hire the best analyst you can find in your budget with no concern for their ability to testify, handle cross-examinations, or have in-depth legal knowledge. However, if you hire the cheapest, you often will not get an accurate result. We like to think we have some of the best and most objective handwriting experts in the world.

If it is just personal, please click here and order the Verbal Opinion.

Our team will review your documents and relay the opion via phone with no report and no court exhibits. People have used our Personal Services in such situations as:

College student's roommate stole her credit card and charged up big bill. The parents wanted to know if the roommate or their daughter really signed the bill. (It was the roommate.)

A Nashville high school teacher was concerned about threats written on the blackboard. He suspected it was a certain troublemaker, but wasn't sure. The handwriting exam of the photographs of the writings proved that the suspect boy was not the writer. This set the teacher's mind at ease

A woman had been concerned with the suspicious events of her brothers "suicide" over a year ago. Her mission for the "document exam" was peace of mind, not legal action. However, after consultation with Curt Baggett, her suspicions were verified. Her brother did not write the "suicide" note and therefore probably did not commit suicide. This information was taken to the local police and the they re-opened the case. Also, the Life Insurance company started their own investigation into the beneficiaries.

However, if you think you might need an expert witness in a court of law, make sure you read the legal page.

What's the process?

It takes a certain amount of our time and effort to do discover the authenticity of a document. Sometimes, it is a quick process and other times it takes hours and hours of working with enlargements, magnifying glasses, and microscopes. The good news is...if your case is of a "personal" nature and not a "legal" nature, your final cost will be less.

Why? Because for every document examining case there are two major steps. The first is the discover the authenticity of the writing. (Is it a forgery or not?) The second step is to prepare a "documentation of findings". This second step can be very time consuming and includes enlarged photographs, dozens of exhibits, notarized letters, and thoroughly explaining the process of proving to a jury that our "expert opinion" is correct.

Since we aren't going to present this evidence to a judge or jury, we can skip the second step and just explain to you our opinion via telephone.

If you think your case may end up in front of an "attorney, judge, or jury" please inform us of that at the beginning, so we can keep records of our investigation and not have to re-work the case and charge you twice.

What's the next step?

Using the power of a fax machine and possibly Federal Express, we can work with you from anywhere in the country. In many cases, we don't need to see the original. Sometimes a photocopy is all we have. And we can often start the process with a fax.

Now, simply choose which of the pricing options best fits your needs. Our team will normally match any qualified examiner's price. So call our office first.
