Fee Information
Because every questioned document matter is different, fees are based on the specific circumstances of each case, including:
- Number of questioned documents
- Availability of original documents
- Complexity of the examination
- Need for reports, declarations, or testimony
- Rush deadlines or expedited review
Most matters can be discussed during an initial consultation so you understand the examination process, documents needed, expected time frame, and anticipated costs before work begins.
There are no hidden fees, and cases are handled with clear communication regarding scope and billing.
Giving A Voice To Documents That Cannot Speak For Themselves
Understanding the Examination Process
Forming an official forensic opinion requires analysis, comparison, and evaluation. Because of this process, opinions cannot be rendered from a quick glance at documents or photographs.
While original documents are preferred whenever available, many examinations can still be conducted using high-quality copies when originals do not exist or are unavailable.
Each matter is approached carefully, objectively, and with the understanding that questioned document cases are often personal, stressful, and legally significant.
