Although I maintain forensic document examination offices in both Southern California and the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas, my roots are firmly established in Oklahoma and Texas. Growing up in these communities helped shape the values of hard work, integrity, and professionalism that continue to guide my practice today.

I spent my formative years in Oklahoma and Texas and graduated from Coppell High School in Coppell, Texas. I later attended the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics. My scientific education provided a strong foundation in observation, analysis, documentation, and problem-solving skills that continue to serve me in the field of forensic document examination today.

Over the past two decades, I have worked with attorneys, businesses, government agencies, and private individuals in matters involving questioned signatures, handwriting identification, forgery investigations, altered documents, probate disputes, business litigation, insurance fraud, anonymous writings, and other document-related issues. My experience includes both civil and criminal matters ranging from preliminary case evaluations to complex litigation requiring courtroom testimony.

National and International Case Experience

While many of my questioned document matters originate in California, I have assisted clients throughout the United States and internationally. In addition to California, I have worked on matters involving documents, parties, or litigation in Texas, Utah, Florida, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Iowa, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Illinois, Arizona, Georgia, Washington, and the District of Columbia.

International case experience includes matters involving Fiji, Belize, Samoa, Jamaica, the United Kingdom, Canada, France,  the Northern Mariana Islands and Philippines.

Court and Testimony Experience

I have provided testimony in trials, hearings, depositions, arbitrations, and other legal proceedings involving questioned documents and handwriting analysis. Over the course of my career, I have testified in more than 215 matters in state and federal courts throughout the United States.

Commitment to Objective and Independent Analysis

Throughout my career, I have remained committed to providing objective, independent, and scientifically based forensic document examinations. Whether a client seeks answers regarding a questioned signature, a disputed will, a suspected forgery, or a matter headed for trial, each case receives the same careful attention, professional analysis, and preparation.

Modern communication and document handling allow forensic document examinations to be conducted efficiently for attorneys and clients throughout the United States and internationally. Geographic distance is rarely a barrier to obtaining qualified forensic document examination services.
