Can I send you someone else’s drawing or handwriting to analyse?
Yes, you can send me any handwriting and signatures you have in your possession. Please explain who the person is in relation to you and why you are seeking an assessment of their handwriting. Each case's ethical nature will be evaluated before proceeding with the analysis.
How much writing do you need?
A few paragraphs of writing are required; the more, the better. Additionally, please include your signature three times.
Do I need lined or unlined paper?
Both lined and unlined paper are acceptable. You can choose writings from a notebook or send me a sample of your handwriting and signatures. Many people prefer A4 computer paper as it is commonly available.
What must I send you to have my writing analysed?
Please scan and email or post the following:
- A few spontaneous paragraphs of handwriting (the more, the better). I need paragraphs, not lists. Write spontaneously to show your speed and rhythm, and avoid copying text as this can slow you down.
- Your signature is signed three times (signatures change frequently).
- Your age and gender (this information is not evident in writing).
- Your full name, including any additional names you may use.
FAQS
Legal
Learn how Kim Wasley’s expertise can be a valuable tool for legal professionals, the types of legal matters handwriting analysis can support, and the limitations of this analysis.
Is it expensive to use a FDE?
Most cases involving an FDE are settled out of court, which saves time, money, and emotional distress. The evidence presented in the form of an affidavit is often used alongside other evidence, resulting in out-of-court settlements. Compared to court fees, time, court appearances, and costs, FDE services are a cost-effective method of contesting a document.
Does an FDE always go to court?
No, many matters are settled out of court, with the FDE presenting their findings in the form of an affidavit as requested by a legal representative. An affidavit serves as additional evidence and often influences whether a case goes to court or is settled out of court, saving significant time, effort, and emotional stress.
What is a Forensic Document Examiner?
A Forensic Document Examiner (FDE), also known as a Questioned Document Examiner or Handwriting Expert, is a professional recognized by the courts for their expertise in analyzing and authenticating documents and handwriting.
What does a Forensic Document Examiner do?
An FDE examines documents to establish the authenticity of the author. They may testify in court as an expert witness, presenting their findings to the court, jury, magistrate, or judge. FDEs produce affidavits citing their findings, which serve as additional evidence and can help arbitrate matters out of court.
How much does a FDE charge?
