Learn from the document examiner notebook

There are innumerable situations where a forensic document examiner can be retained to determine the truth. Depending on the materials, Mr. Dines can determine if a document or signature is real or forged, see if one person authored multiple documents, who (of an identified number) authored an anonymous letter, if records were altered at separate times and if a hand guided through a will signature. Through his experience he can also find if the same person signed and initialed a document, what is written under a crossed out area, and if the document was written on the day claimed. Aside from handwriting identification, a forensic document examiner notices anomalies from printing processes. To accurately identify origins, specialists study paper, typewriters, inks, printers and copy machines. Professional examiners may study Mr. Dines' document examiner notebook to read modern, useful techniques. Mr. Dines will find if multiple documents are from the same machine, what type of printer or printing process was used, if portions of a document have been erased, if there were any alterations made to the paper, and if it has been folded, stapled, bound or otherwise handled. These are a few of the most common requests, but by no means a comprehensive list of services available. Each situation is different, and should you have a concern, Mr. Dines invites you to contact him with your questions.
