forensic handwriting examination

Forensic handwriting examination involves analyzing a person's handwriting to determine its authenticity or origin. Experts compare characteristics such as letter shapes, pressure, spacing, and writing style from questioned documents with known samples. They look for consistent patterns or irregularities that can link a handwriting to a particular individual or indicate forgery. This process combines scientific analysis with an understanding of writing habits and techniques. Ultimately, forensic document examiners provide objective opinions to help legal cases involving disputed signatures, notes, or documents.
