Contracts are signed everyday. What 'seals the deal' on contracts is still a person's signature. In this generation, signatures are still created with pen in hand. Quit Claim Deeds are still signed and notarized. Last Wills and Testaments are still signed and notarized. Car dealerships still have an individual sign. Real Estate deals still have an individual sign. A person's signature is still one of the most important things we maintain that speaks to our individuality. One guard against forgery or the simulation of a person's signature is to craft a signature that is complex enough that it becomes difficult to simulate. It is very important that when a signature goes on a contract that it is individualized and complicated. Everyone has their own skill level in writing. A person can write below their skill level but they cannot write above their skill level. If you would like to craft a signature that becomes harder for someone to simulate, contact me.

Here We Go Again
January 2018 has started with great anticipation and speed. January seems to be recognized as a New Beginning. What seems to come into the New Year is the good and bad actions of people. As a Forensic Document Examiner, those actions usually increase my business because someone usually lets their greed show. There were words to a song made popular many years ago that said, "Using things and loving people that's the way it's got to be". It would be wonderful if that was a true description. Many times what is seen instead is loving things and using people. If you have found yourself in a situation of fraud and are in shock, contact me. If you need handwriting compared, contact me. I never charge for a consultation.

Cost of the Fight
In the last few months I have seen some odd happenings and rulings in court and attorneys who gave clients information. I have seen fair rulings by judges for sure but one judge openly said that he believed my report and that the documents were forged but he ruled in favor of the other side. The other side was bank and mortgage companies.
Someone recently used my services and were advised by one attorney that attorneys can be believed and not to be doubted and then a different attorney told them that on Wills and Trusts if a person gave someone permission to sign their individual name (even if the person wasn't their official Power of Attorney) then it was legal and that even if the name was not written correctly, that could be an understandable mistake. I was shocked at both instances. Since when is forgery an acceptable route and not punishable or a person who perpetrates a forgery is seen as just 'smarter than the ones they got the best of'?
This type of information causes me to shake my head but it doesn't cause me to want to give up. There are still judges that will render fair judgements. There are still attorneys who will fight for their clients even if it is an uphill battle. In conclusion, the important thing in making a decision on what the next action should be is this: am I willing to put forth a fight even if I lose the battle? We all want to win our battles, but, unfortunately some battles are lost. The cost of the fight must always be evaluated. What a person is willing to lose must be part of the decision. My heartfelt desire is that wisdom be a guiding light in the decisions made. ExpertHandwritingExaminer.com

Skill Level
Every person who writes has their own skill level. Skill level represents one's ability to construct letter, character and number forms, the size and shape of letter, character and number forms and how one places them on the writing surface. The wonderful thing about skill level is that no one can write above their own skill level. They can write below their skill level but never above. This is one of the considerations always made when handwriting is being compared. Someone with a high skill level may write below that skill level in order to 'throw off the scent' (one might say) for the person who is comparing the writing. But when writing is being compared by a forensic document examiner and that writer has a higher skill level than the person who was supposed to have been the writer, it is readily known that person could not be the writer. Likewise, when a person is on drugs (street or prescription) that affect the brain or that person is in a drunken state, it becomes impossible for them to write at a higher skill level than they do when sober. In the field of Forensic Document Examination consideration of skill level is a very important part of the examination process. Call me today: 580-467-4786

Is There Proof That Handwriting Is Individual?
Sargur
N. Srihari is a computer scientist and educator who has made progress with
pattern recognition and developed software known as Cedar-Fox (granted a U.S.
Patent in 2009) used by the US Postal Office primarily for handwritten address
systems. Srihari’s work on the
individuality of handwriting has been cited in Daubert and Frye standard
hearings in the United States and cleared the way for admitting handwriting
evidence into the court system.
Handwriting experts through looking and examining hundreds and thousands of samples of handwriting and through training know that there are defined differences in individual's handwriting. Some differences are not noticed by untrained eyes but trained eyes notice things that others would by-pass. Also it is known that there are individuals who have 'form blindness' and cannot observe differences in writing. In training to be a handwriting expert, one of the first 'tests' given is to discover if that person has 'form blindness'. Unfortunately, 'form blindness' tests are not given in the courtroom to judges, attorneys and jurors and it is up to the handwriting expert to present a well-defined report with exhibits in order to substantiate their opinion to the court.
The Fathers of Document Examination have long held to the opinion that handwriting is individualized and now through the use of computer software their opinion is being validated. Another area that is validating individuality are the use of brain scans using MRI's. These brain scans now illustrate how the brain, muscles and nerves function together just as handwriting experts have always explained that they do.

I Don't Know You
It is really amazing what a person's cursive writing can tell me. Even if I have never met you, if I look at your handwriting, I will know something about you. One's handwriting can show intelligence, forthrightness, honesty, bullying, sarcasm, and much, much more. There is even a high probability that I can give accurate information on the gender of a child by examining certain letters in an expectant mother's writing. It isn't paranormal and it isn't crystal ball, it is specific strokes that show specific personality traits. If you are interested in what your handwriting says about you, contact me. www.ExpertHandwritingExaminer.com

How Individual is my Handwriting?
Sargur
N. Srihari is a computer scientist and educator who has made progress with
pattern recognition and developed software known as Cedar-Fox (granted a U.S.
Patent in 2009) used by the US Postal Office primarily for handwritten address
systems. Through his efforts, it has moved handwriting as being individualistic from just a concept to a reality. His software program can identify several aspects of writing and correspond it to individuals. While the software program is great, it hasn't reached a point yet of having the human approach to establishing genuineness to a writing or signature. A forensic document examiner that conducts their business ethically and with one and only one purpose and that finding the truth about the writing is still the best thing going.

That Is Not My Signature
www.ExpertHandwritingExaminer.com
Our signature becomes part of who we are. It is common knowledge that our fingerprints are different than any other person's fingerprints. What isn't common knowledge is that our signatures can be as individualized as fingerprints. One of the best defenses against identity theft is to graft a signature that is individualized and difficult to assimilate.
